超夢幻泡泡屋!倫敦街景一網打盡
以別具風格的方式,在這些滿足你所有假期需求、閃閃發光的圓頂屋中懶洋洋地坐著吧。 

  假如你不住在靠近北極圈或南極圈的任何地方,舒服地躺在溫暖床上欣賞北極或南極光照亮天空是一種罕見的體驗。當觀星族前往極地的冰屋飯店享受這般天文奇景 ── 例如冰島的五百萬眾星飯店 ── 然而我們其餘的人就只能將就一下。提供城市天際線壯觀景色的冰屋酒吧就是一項值回票價的替代方案。
  雖然冰屋一詞讓大多數人想起冰冷的圓頂避雪屋,冰屋酒吧看起來更像大型的圓頂帳棚。在 2016 年年末,倫敦的科帕俱樂部開設了能俯瞰泰晤士河畔倫敦塔橋的冰屋酒吧。以懸掛的常春藤、毛毯、蠟燭、音響、暖氣設備以及一份假日菜單裝飾,圓頂屋的人氣很快就竄升了。任何踏進冰屋的人都感覺自己彷彿到另一個世界旅行,就如同許多奇幻故事中的世界一樣。
  令人賞心悅目的泡泡屋在 2017 年的冬季重回泰晤士河,甚至在倫敦其他地區如雨後春筍般出現。舉例而言,科帕俱樂部在希斯洛機場屋頂上開設了冰屋酒吧。像是紐約、雪梨以及布達佩斯等其他城市紛紛迅速效仿,開設屬於他們的冰屋酒吧。隨著它們的人氣日益高漲,希望明年冬天你會在附近的城市找到冰屋酒吧。
