ReplyDeleteWasn't the ice hotel featured in a James Bond movie?
ReplyDeleteIt is not the first!!!!
ReplyDelete...I am sure to go and check it out.
ReplyDeleteAnd its not about being original or not... no concept is ever original its whether you trump the original
There is also one in London, and no-one goes. There is some tourist traffic but not a huge amount.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember - the places in Stokholm and London are actual 'bars'
Basically - you can't spend more than 30 mins in these places, and why would you want to freeze your butt off to drink a mocktail.
Nick, Who said it's original?!
ReplyDeleteSo what? it's in stockholm does this mean we shut it down?
No one said it is original but it is to THIS REGION whether you'd like to admit or NOT!
