Spending the night on a mattress of ice in the designer igloo hotel IceHotel, 200km north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden, may well be something to boast about. But we HotelChatterers like our creature comforts and the simple pleasures in life.

So we're sticking to Sweden's slightly warmer southern capital of Stockholm and to its Nordic Sea Hotel, whose proudest selling point is its Absolut Ice Bar.

Absolut bloody freezing, we guess. But as you know, in Sweden, hotels aren't about cosy mattresses and comfort but about style, design and the being seen. To get in with the A-crowd in this city, it's no pain, no gain.
