"Check in" to the Ice Hotel and escape the heat!

This sweltering heat had me searching for cool relief beyond air conditioning, popsicles, and frosty mugs of beer. I thought about watching my all time favorite movie "Doctor Zhivago" because those scenes of Omar Sharif trudging through the frozen tundra have a way of bringing me a chill. And then my mind wandered and I was reminded of a hotel in Sweden that is guaranteed to cool you off . . . to the 21 F degree! Unfortunately the Ice Hotel isn't open until December but a virtual tour brought me some relief and an idea for a possible vacation down the road! (photo: Getty Images)
