Scandinavia's newest highly anticipated luxury hotel, Arctic Bath , is finally welcoming guests.

The construction of Arctic Bath was announced two years ago and now the architectural marvel floats on the Lule River in Swedish Lapland during the summer and is frozen into the river during the winter.

The hotel, which was designed to looked like a cluster of jammed timber in the river, has a total of 12 guest cabins. There are only six cabins on land and six cabins floating in the water, making it difficult to snag a reservation. A stay at the exclusive hotel costs around 8,700 kr ($891) per person, per night.

In addition to unforgettable views of aurora borealis , Arctic Bath puts an emphasis on its wellness amenities, which include three different saunas, a hot tub, and, fittingly, a cold arctic bath as the hotel's centerpiece.
