The structure is made out of ice and snow with ceilings as high as 5.4 meters (18 feet), walls covered with original artwork and furniture carved from ice blocks.
Ice Hotel Quebec, Canada has many rooms and theme suites, two exhibition rooms, a cinema, a magnificent chapel, a huge reception room, functional fireplaces and hot tubs and the famous Absolut Ice Bar. Covering a total surface of 3,000 square meters (30,000 square feet), the Ice Hotel is one of the most unique undertakings. In fact, 12,000 tons of snow and 400 tons of ice will be used during the five weeks it takes to make this architectural marvel.
The Ice Hotel is a completely unique experience in North America. An ice chapel connected to the hotel turns this quirky hotel into a potential destination wedding locale with a twist: couples tying the knot here tend to originate from warmer climes.
The Ice Lounge serves up drinks (like Pina Coolada) in thick ice glasses. It's one price for the first drink and refills come in a bit cheaper. The first drink allows you to take the solid ice souvenir glass home, says the bartender with a grin. Hot drinks are served, of course, in styrofoam cups.
The Ice Hotel abuts its partner property, the Station Touristique Duchesnay, where chilled Ice Hotel guests can head to for a hot meal at the Quatre-Temps Cafe-bar. You really have to work to find a bad meal in Quebec, and the Quatre-Temps Café-bar is no exception to that generalization.
A word of warning to those with tiny bladders: the Ice Hotel has community washrooms, something that makes those late night bathroom breaks a bit of a challenge.
