Sweden’s Floating Arctic Bath Hotel Is Now Accepting Reservations

ByMyProperty Life

Reservations just opened for Arctic Bath—a hotel and wellness retreat in the middle of the frigid Lule River.

Set in Harads, in northern Sweden’s scenic countryside, Arctic Bath is a remote getaway with a spa, hot and cold baths, saunas, shops, and a restaurant. In the ever-sunny summer months, the entire hotel floats upon the water’s surface. In the winter, the structure locks in place upon the frozen river, providing an ideal platform for stargazing.

The circular hotel is centered around an enclosed soaking tub, letting guests view the open sky at all times of the year.

The hotel just announced the availability of February 2020 reservations for its 12 accommodations. Half sit inside the floating rotunda, and the other six are landlocked cabins that lay only paces from the hotel’s dock. The rooms feature skylights, wood-burning stoves, and sleek, Scandinavian design.

The slanted, on-land cabins grant immediate access to the natural surroundings, and are close enough to the hotel to enjoy its offerings.

  • Space in the Wall

    Space in the Wall The thought process regarding the challenging tall and narrow structure centers around a space that flows through the building and functions as a light cone that allows daylight to pierce through all the way to the basement and a joint wall, made of exposed concrete in “board” configuration, divided into squares, separated from the exterior wall of the house, which is made of glass, and acts as an artistic, somewhat “Brutalistic” element the house, one half of a two-family dwelling on a 220 square meters lot, and 360 square meters built, is designed for 2 young families with 2 children each, each family has 2 floors, the first family has the ground floor (living room, kitchen, dining room and garden) and basement (bedrooms and pool). The second family has the first floor (bedrooms) and the top floor (living room, dining room and a garden balcony)
    The front of the building that faces the street is made with a combination of concrete, steel and wood. We’ve used these natural materials throughout the building. Stairs and banister from steel plates on the ground floor and a banister and counter-top with a sink out of steel grid on the first floor.
    the flooring is out of concrete, with the concrete wall “accompanying” the entire house. Wood beams in the kitchen, the ceiling, a vertical shading and the floor.
    The challenge to create a living space while using every available inch and maintaining privacy, while communicating with the residents who are design enthusiasts was completed with 2 modern villas, each with its own connection to the outside and with a unique and fashionable living space in the dense urban surrounding.

    The Caribbean sunshine lights up the poolside terrace at this wide open estate in the gated Sugar Hills. Improve your game at the only private tennis court in the community, then spread out in the gazebo, cottage, or poolside pavilion with a wet bar a barbecue. Treetop views, a grand piano, and a spiral staircase are beach chic, and the community’s restaurant and fitness center are steps away.
