Canada : Discover the Ice Hotel, Québec
Canada's Ice Hotel and Duchesnay Ecotouristic Centre
Perfect for a short break, Canada's own Ice Hotel (located just outside Québec City) is an experience you won't want to miss!
Imagine a structure crafted each winter from 12,000 tons of snow and 400 tons of ice, even the furniture is carved out of ice blocks! The Ice Hotel in Canada is an unique and complex undertaking, it takes approximately five weeks to erect this masterpiece of architecture. You can dance the night away in the N'Ice Club, lounge about in the Ice Bar or you can relax underneath the stars in outdoor hot tubs. And for those seeking somewhere different to tie the knot, the hotel boasts its own Ice Chapel which provides an enchanting and fairytale-like setting for weddings.
The Station Duchesnay is a jewel of the Québec region. It is located on the banks of the magnificent Lac Saint-Joseph and principally composed of a 55 square mile of deciduous forest. This majestic site, which until just recently was a school of forestry, combines all of these elements to turn your nature escapade into a memorable moment. Located 30 minutes from Québec city, this four season vacation resort has a great deal to offer.
Hotel amenities include:Ice bar, reception room, 2 exhibition art galleries, inner courtyard, chapel, 2 Jacuzzis, 1 sauna, 3 functional fireplaces, security, heated and isolated washrooms and change rooms and showers available at the L'Aigle' Pavillion.
