5 Spectacular Floating Hotels Around The World

3. Arctic Bath, Sweden

Insider Monkey Score: 10.5

The Arctic bath is a small, yet luxurious, retreat in the Lule River of Sweden. The resort comprises of a main circular building, striking due to its exterior of crisscrossing logs, and a series of large and small cabins, each accessible with a walkway. The design of these buildings allows them to melt into the backdrop of the surrounding woods. There are plenty of premium excursions and amenities, including open saunas, hot tubs, dipping sites, and snowmobile tours. In the winter, ice sets in around the cabins, restricting them from gliding over the river. During these months, many tourists visit the Arctic Bath to get a view of the incredible aurora of the Northern Lights. These can be witnessed from the comfort of your beds as several cabins are equipped with glass ceilings.
