Lapland in Finland has now got a Game of Thrones-themed hotel, which has brought some of the most popular locations of Westeros to life. Built by HBO Nordic in association with Lapland Hotels SnowVillage, this hotel is entirely made out of snow and ice.
The Lapland Hotels SnowVillage is an ice hotel which comes up with a new theme every season. Just for the construction of this accommodation during winters, as much as 20 million kg of snow and 3,50,000 kg of crystal clear natural ice were used. Located in Kittila, the resort lies at a distance of 200 km above the Arctic Circle, and a 90-minute drive away from Helsinki. This time, the GOT-themed hotel will be there till the 8th of April.

How Westeros is represented


Covering an area of 20,000 square feet, the GOT-themed ice hotel has 24 rooms, which include 10 suites for travellers.

Designed by ice sculptors from Russia, Poland, Latvia, and Ukraine, each of the rooms in this theme hotel features an ice figure from the popular TV show. Among the popular ones is a recreation of the Hall of Faces, which is seen in Braavos’ House of Black and White. Also seen in the rooms are replicas of the Iron Throne guarded by The Mountain, and a mammoth sized blue-eyed White Walker over a bed.

Facilities available


The temperatures inside the themed ice hotel reach minus five degrees, and it’s the reason why all the guests staying there are provided with high-quality thermal sleeping bags. Also provided to the guests is a glass of hot berry juice to keep things warm.

Other amenities available at the hotel include a dragon themed arctic bar which serves drinks in glasses made out of ice, a cinema, a chapel, a restaurant having frozen dining furniture, among other things.
