he Ice hotel opened on New Year's Day in 2001. For its first year it was located in Montmorency Falls Park, which is on the outskirts of Quebec City, with plans right from the beginning to move to the nearby Duchesnay resort for its next year, where it has been built ever since.
The hotel is located 5 km north of Quebec
City, on the first slopes of the Laurentian mountains, in the Charlesbourg borough. It is
the first ice hotel in North America and is built
each December for an opening date in early January. The hotel has a four-month
lifespan each year before being brought down in April. It had 22 beds when it
first opened in 2000. In its last iteration it had 85 beds, all made of ice but
lined with deer
furs and covered with mattresses and Arctic sleeping bags. Only the bathrooms
are heated and located in a separate insulated structure.
It takes about a month and a half to build with
60 workers. The Hotel makes its own snow using a special mixture to adjust the
humidity. It is built with metal frames, it is allowed to harden for a few
days, and then the cranes are removed. The hotel is made of 15,000 tons of snow
and 500,000 tons of ice and the walls are up to four feet thick. The hotel is
usually made (the architecture and size may vary
from season to season) in arches over rooms with 16 foot (5 m) and larger and
higher spaces for one art galleries a club dubbed
the N'Ice Club, an "Ice Café" and a 60-feet slide. The walls are over
4 feet (1.2 m) thick on average. All furniture is made of ice. In addition to
using ice glasses as in the Kiruna ice hotel, the bar (and
room service) also serves cold cuts on ice plates.Amenities include a
nightclub, movie theater, indoor heated washrooms and outdoor hot tubs.
