    In northern Europe there is a hotel that is demolished, if that the right word, and is re-built every year. Why?

    Question #56634. Asked by peasypod. (Apr 12 05 6:56 PM)

    		Could this be the Ice Hotel in Finland? (Don't ask me to type out the location. I have enough trouble with typos as it is.)

    		OK, I've looked it up in a book now. It is at Jukkasjarvi, a Finnish sounding town in Swedish Lappland. The average room temps is minus 4 deg C. The beds are made of packed snow topped with reindeer skins. The hotel has 10 rooms accommodating 60 people. It melts every April which is a trifle inconvenient as it has to be rebuilt each winter. The hotel was first built in 1989 and gets larger every year.

    		JUKKAS JÄRVI. (North Part of Sweden)
    There is also one in Canada.

    		...and right you are gmack, it is Sweden. I was awaiting lanfranco's response with the place name and she would have found it.
