Ice hotels have long been a novelty for cold weather destinations, especially in Europe. We happen to love the Hotel de Glace in Quebec, due to its cheeky vibe and unparalleled ice sculptures. The hotel shimmers with an intense and quiet beauty, while guests snuggle up in cozy blankets and pillows. You can fulfill all of your snow queen fantasies. Rooms start at $375/night.

Hotel Kakslauttanen, Lapland

Hotel Kakslauttanen, Lapland
Sleeping in an igloo and watching the northern lights can be experienced in Lapland’s Hotel Kakslauttanen. The “igloos” are made of glass, which makes for a modern and comfortable perch to stargaze. You can also stay in a more rustic “snow igloo,” but we can’t recommend the glass option more. Rooms start at around $400/night.

Giraffe Manor, Nairobi

Giraffe Manor is an exclusive boutique hotel located on 12 acres of land near Ngong forest. The stately building is attended to by the Rothschild giraffe population, who have free rein of the grounds.
