A fish-eye lens provides an unusual look to the interior of the Ice Bar Madrid, Spain, a compact, 70 square meter, two-room installation in the heart of the major tourist area of the city.
The lounge is only 200 meters from the Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. Entrepreneur, Luis Martinez opened the new ice lounge in June with a special celebration which attracted more than 200 guests. The layout is simple, yet contains enough ice components to satisfy visitors and expose them to the ‘ice experience’.
An arctic theme is carried throughout the lounge and excellent photographs, and information about the arctic region, including beautiful images of Greenland, will certainly excite visitors and help counteract the extreme heat of the Spanish summer.
Even a stuffed polar bear in the reception area adds authenticity to the lounge.
One of the more interesting aspects of Ice Bar Madrid is the lounge is more than an attraction for tourists, it is an information center where visitors can book trips and expeditions to remote winter locations and also browse through a large collection of books and photographs. A 330 square meter area outside the lounge is devoted to selling merchandise including many kinds of bottled water from around the world
