A Night Carved From Ice

Every winter, just beyond Quebec City, a hotel rises that defies logic—and melts away come spring. Hôtel de Glace is rebuilt entirely from snow and ice each season, transforming frozen blocks into soaring halls, sculpted suites, and immersive ice art installations that feel more like a dream than a destination.

Each room is a work of art, designed by a different artist and carved with extraordinary detail. From illuminated ice chapels and themed suites to a frozen bar serving cocktails in ice glasses, the experience is both surreal and surprisingly refined. Guests are outfitted with expedition-grade sleeping bags and guided through the ritual of sleeping warm in sub-zero temperatures—an adventure that’s as brag-worthy as it is unforgettable.

Because the experience lasts just one night, Hotel de Glace pairs perfectly with a luxury stay in Quebec City. Spend your days indulging in fine dining, Old Town charm, and winter activities, then trade comfort for legend—returning the next morning with stories few travelers can tell. This isn’t just a hotel stay. It’s a rite of passage for curious, cold-loving souls.
