The whole hotel is a bundle of tributes to the show, designed by professional ice sculptors and having homages like replicas of the Braavosi Hall of Faces and the Iron Throne, guarded by The Mountain himself. A life-like White Walker is also present, along with a dragon-shaped ice slide.

The 20,000 sq. ft. SnowVillage actually aims to emulate the Winter conditions from the show, and thus it’s quite cold inside, with temperatures dropping down to -5 degree Celsius at times. However there are a few real world ‘luxuries’ as well, such as warm log cabins, a cinema, a chapel, an themed arctic bar serving drinks in ice glasses, and a restaurant which serves Reindeer steak ans has furniture made from ice. The hotel has existed for a long time now, but the Game of Thrones theming is brand new.

Entry costs $18, guided tour costs $78 for a group of up to 30 people, and rooms start at $200. The hotel will be open until April 30, 2018. Perfect plave for an early summer vacation. What do you think? Talk to us in the comments, down below!
