Visitor Tips and News About Ice Hotel
Reports and tips from RoadsideAmerica.com visitors and Roadside America mobile tipsters. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip.
There's an upscale hotel all made out of ice near Quebec City. Basic rooms rates start at ~$200/night and deluxe suites can be up to $1,000/night. Some rooms have fireplaces (I know, kind of scary, uh?).
Every room has a different theme and features work of local ice sculptors and artists. Everything is made out of ice : bedside tables, sofas, beds, and even drinking glasses. There are deer skins on top of each bed, and they give you a goose down sleeping bag for the night. The only warmer room is the bathroom.
In addition to a nice hot tub outside, there are two adjoining bars with a dance floor and plenty of Absolut Ice vodka. There are art exhibitions in the main hall. Guided tours are available in French/English if that's your thing, but they are not mandatory. Admission prices decrease after 8 pm.
