More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Stepping through the Chillout Ice Lounge door feels like walking through a seam in the city — one step and the desert sun is replaced by a crystalline hush. At a controlled -6°C, the room holds its breath: carved animals frozen mid-stride, benches hewn from pure ice, and cocktails served in ice tumblers that clink like glass. Guests bundle into provided thermal coats and move deliberately, the cold sharpening edges and attention alike.
