The New Ritz

I know that you philistines are too busy blogging to be up on the latest 'IN' thing, so your 'IT' girl is here to the rescue.

Being ever so exclusive there are only two, count them TWO, ice hotels in the world.

Only two , you say?


You know that we have become too fat and comfortable when we will PAY to freeze our 'nads off, sleeping on a block of ice ,albeit with 'insulating reindeer skins' to keep us warm in the -5 degree hotel.

We'll gloss over the fact that the reindeer themselves died of hypothermia....not so good for business. That's marketing, though....

Look! They even have an ice chapel-so that you can pray.......... for heat presumably.On the plus side, you would at least know that you hadn't arrived in the fiery( warm) pit of Hell.




















And the block of ice bed is kinda like a lovely ,comfy warm water bed, sans the lovely comfort ,warmth and splish splash of water.

What a great scam money making venture. I am surprised they're not as prolific as Mc Donalds!

I guess that you could pee where you liked , all considered.

In my world, a cold hotel with a hard bed were grounds for a refund!

Silly , spoilt,whiny me!

As we scoffed at the homeless and Eskimos, who knew they were scoffing right back?

Look at the luxury those fuckers have been living in whilst we heat seekers got nothin' by static cling and fly away hair from too much dry,heat.

I suppose another plus is, if you did actually FREEZE to death in your sleep, your bed could double as your morgue, without having to disturb you.

Now THAT'S room service!

Update:Rod thinks this is not mean and Uber enough. I promise to be a bigger bitch tomorrow!

It does look lovely though...it's kind of like that place they had in one of the James Bond films. Can't remember which one right enough but I'm sure it involved Pierce Brosnan and a man with diamonds in his face...

Is this a guest poster. It sure isn't Ubermouths normal style.

Crashdummie said...

Daisy said...

i am right with you uber...cold hotel/hard bed...give my money back...similar thoughts on camping as well...i need my soft bed...pillows and am at the point i no longer enjoy the cold as recreation

Cunning_Linguist said...

I'll agree... totally stupid concept. But I can't help but appreciate the achitecture and work that went into the structure. Would I sleep in it? Hell no. Gimme room service at the Riga. That's more my flavor.

Clyde said...

But can I get ice in my bourbon ?

And people actually pay to go freeze their bits off----geez---not me.
Look forward to bitch tomorrow

UBERMOUTH said...

Bunny-*perk* A man with diamonds in his face???WHERE?

Crashie- Then you are in Sweden or Quebec! As I said TWO. IN.THE.WORLD!
:) I'm never wrong.If I am wrong I shut my mouth. I never shut my mouth.:)

Daisy- OH I HATE camping- no tv, no bathroom, no real beds or real food, or hair dryers. That's just like playing homeless in the country- NO.REAL.FUN!

Cunning- You stay at a hotel made of Rigatoni? WOW! You really are a gangster! Pssst- do you know any hitmen?

Clyde- Of course you can get ice in your Bourbon.You just break off part of your night stand. You do like a bitch don't you Clyde? :)

UBERMOUTH said...

Bag- Oh look! MY first heckler- or are you a troll?
I am Ubermouth's sister actually, UBERSWEET. Ubermouth will be back tomorrow.

Spiky Zora Jones said...

Sweetie...if I stayed in such a place my pink bits would freeze shut seeing I am shaved like a little girl. My nipples..they are all for fun and games but you freeze them and someone gets an eye poked out.

But hey, there iss good too. You don't need to call for a bucket of ice to be delivered to your ice room...to chill that tumbler of liguid amber...

Let's ruin them...you come lay here (pats next to me on bed) and we'll melt this place down...mkay. :P Spiky BAD GIRL! hehehe

ciao honey.

Daisy said...

OMG uber you described camping perrrrfectly..."playing homeless in the country" i will have to use that...hope you don't mind...roflmao

UBERMOUTH said...

Spiky- That's the best offer I have had in ages!Turn the heat up, I'm on my way! :)

Daisy- Not to toot my own horn, but that's what John finds so adorable about me! I am the Queen of the one liner...the adjective Goddess.:) You merely just give great head( so I heard).

Daisy said...

and what? is that such a bad thing?


btw happy belated birthday...i didn't know...will have to make a post for you...muahhhhhh

BEAST said...

How come the bed doesnt get wet from the body heat ???
I am totally with you on this , sounds dreadful.

Cunning_Linguist said...

I don't know any hit men ( that I'll admit to ). I do know a bunch of Guido's from Jersey that all drive IROCS and think Tony Soprano is realted to them. Close enough?

One Man’s Opinion said...

You know I saw a news report on this last year. It is really upscale. However, the newcaster's breath could be seen throughout the broadcast...now that's cold. I'll say this. Instead of ice machines, you can just chip away at a wall. LOL. No, not really, but wouldn't that be some tempting crap to do...?

UBERMOUTH said...

Daisy- Not a bad thing , but not as handy in verbal situations.:)

Beast-Well you'd have to be hafl dead to even register there.

Cunning- Hmmmm.....not if they are not in the U.K

Sarge-And if you didn't want to pay, it would be easy enough to break into.

mutleythedog said...

I once found ice inside my bedroom window - which is much the same thing really !! And I had to pay people to get in my bed -not the other way round!!

UBERMOUTH said...

Mutts- Only once? Consider yourself lucky! I get that every year, in JUNE!Gawd! And I thought I was whiny LOL

Catherine said...

Nice to look at but dont touch - no way too cold - and gimie a soft place to lean or lay at least sheesh!

UBERMOUTH said...

Catherine- I am with you on that one! Not the best setting for a man's seduction , either!
It'll come to you.......
