The jolt of a bracing ice bath is just one of the charms of northern Sweden’s aptly named Arctic Bath Hotel, which is about to have its first full summer season. Centered by an experimental design featuring upcycled wood, minimalist interiors and vast windows, the Arctic Bath Hotel is located in Harads, about 50 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle. Bertil Harström and Johan Kauppi designed the main house, with its woodsy crown, and the tilting water cabins. Harström and Kauppi incorporated that leaning detail into the hotel’s water cabins.
