Just outside Quebec City, the Hôtel de Glace stands as the only ice hotel in North America. Constructed annually from over 500 tons of ice and 15,000 tons of snow, the building process spans five weeks, starting in late November. The finished structure features guest rooms, a bar, and a wedding chapel, all crafted from the glistening, frosty materials. Visitors can experience the unique sensation of being surrounded by ice and snow, immersing themselves in a world where even the furniture is made of frozen elements.
