Quebec City is about to become cool as ice.
Entering its 21st season, the Hôtel de Glace offers guests a hotel made entirely out of snow and ice because nothing says, “take that winter” quite like sleeping on top of it.
Located in the Valcartier area, 5 km north of Quebec City, the ice palace gets rebuilt every winter and offers its visitors a “one-of-a-kind winter experience that is unique to North Americans.”
The Hôtel de Glace ranges from $399 to $849 a night, depending on the size of your ice room, and if you opt for in-room saunas and hot tubs.
The ice hotel is currently accepting reservations for the 2021 season and says it is abiding by all of the province’s public health protocols to protect against COVID-19 transmission.

All of the lodge’s furniture is made of ice and the bar serves drinks and cocktails to your room in — you guessed it — ice glasses.
