Hôtel de Glace
9530, rue de la Faune, Québec, G1G 5H9 Canada
Enjoy an overnight stay at North America's only ice hotel, Hotel de Glace in Québec. Made up of 15,000 tons of snow and 500 tons of ice, ornately carved columns, archways and decorative sculptures create an unforgettable ice castle experience. Choose from 36 rooms, each complete with furniture made of ice, including beds that are topped with mattresses and Arctic sleeping bags to keep you toasty in rooms averaging between 23 and 27 degrees Fahrenheit. The hotel encourages you to come prepared with three layers of clothing, but you may also want to wear your fur-lined, wintry white wedding dress, as the hotel also comes with an Ice Café that can convert to a 150-person wedding chapel. Your freezing friends and family can toast you with cocktails served in glasses made of ice at the hotel's Ice Bar, and thank you for a one-of-a-kind winter lodging experience.
