Arctic Bath has opened in the Swedish Lapland, and needless to say, it’s pretty cool.

The luxury floating hotel, designed by architects Bertil Harström and Johan Kauppi, features a circular structure that looks like a bunch of logs caught in the Lule River. Featuring 12 rooms, a giant ice bath and various saunas, Arctic Bath captures the exquisite beauty of the area and is sure to be a hit for those visiting to see the Northern Lights.

CNN International and the Daily Mail provide a look at the new hotel, but check out some photos below.
