Bosses at a Swedish hotel made out of ice and snow say they are a “little surprised” after being ordered to install fire alarms.<\/h1>\n

Tourists flock from all over the world to stay in the vast igloo in the country’s far north, where they sleep on an ice bed in temperatures as low as -8C (18F).<\/p>\n

Located in the small Arctic town of Jukkasjarvi, the Icehotel is rebuilt every winter but it melts by spring.<\/p>\n

The first guests stayed at the hotel in 1990, but authorities have this year demanded it put in the alarms for safety reasons.<\/p>\n

Hotel spokeswoman Beatrice Karlsson said: “We were a little surprised at first, but the reason is that there are things that can actually catch fire, like pillows, sleeping bags or reindeer skins.<\/p>\n

“To us the most important concern is the safety of our clients, so we will comply.”<\/p>\n

Construction is dependent upon constant sub-freezing temperatures and the alarms made building the hotel even harder than before.<\/p>\n

The environment is humid, and ice and snow… move, so it had to be taken into account,” Ms Karlsson said.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a challenge for our building team, but it made us one experience richer.”<\/p>\n

The alarms were tested last winter with the local fire department.<\/p>\n

The Icehotel was the first of its kind in the world, but others have since popped up in Norway, Canda and Japan.<\/p>\n

The structure was first conceived as a work of art and has stayed true to its artistic roots, getting a new design annually which often features ice sculptures.<\/p>\n

The hotel is constructed using layers of “snice” – a mixture of snow and ice – which features the insulating properties of snow and is both lighter than ice and stronger than snow.<\/p>\n

Each year the mixture is sprayed over arch-shaped frames and left to set until they are solid enough for the moulds to be removed and reveal a stunning ice hotel.<\/p>\n

The hotel opens for business in December this year and will stay open until April.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 12)<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
