Dubai Opens First Ice Lounge in Middle East Aug 18, 2007 at 01:51
Today in Dubai, it's 44 degrees C (111 degrees F), but in the new Chill Out Lounge, it's well below zero. You've probably been to ice lounges before (there are 9 around the world), for an icy vodka on a chilly table, but in this bar, everything is made of ice: the walls, tables and chairs; cups, glasses and plates; the art on the wall, the sculptures depicting Dubai’s skyline, the beaded curtains, the two-metre-chandelier and the bar. For US$17 you get one drink and the rental of a hooded parka, woolen gloves and insulated shoes. The hypothermia is complimentary.

I know it is a cool idea. But think of how much energy it must take to keep that place cold. Pretty sure they're not thinking of their carbon footprint.
