A stand of Flamingoes? Think I prefer the wonderful Flamboyance, I didn't actually know that either. Not sure if I would want to stay in an Ice Hotel. What are the loos and baths made of, Ice?! Bit chilly if you ask me!
When my kids came to live with me in Stockholm, I took them for a weekend trip to the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvvi (near Kiruna) and we spend a night in it. Bedroom temperature was -5 degrees Celsius and the loos were outside (-40) in a Wigwam.
Apparently it started as a memorial to a Japanese Scientist/Researcher who lost his life up there and it became more and more elaborate every year.
They built a small copy in Stockholm but that seemed to be the equivalent of the hotels you can rent by the hour in many parts of the world.
I wanted to take the overnight train up there from Stockholm (it had a cinema carriage, along with a bar (naturally) and a carriage that was configured as a kids play area). Sadly we didn't have the time, so we flew up, which the kids also enjoyed.

From memory, the "Ice hotel" is a temporary build which is rebuilt each season. It sits alongside a rather fancy permanent hotel in which there all mod cons. If you spent the night(s) in the Ice hotel, you needed strong bladder or you faced a chilly trek to the main building. It might have been via a connecting corridor but it could have been a short walk outside. The "Ice Hotel" consisted of bedrooms, a reception hall, display area, and a chapel for weddings. There was no heating! But they did supply animal furs on the beds not that I stayed for the night. Had a drink in the bar, though and all drinks were in "glasses" made of ice. No washing up necessary.
