Hôtel de glace / Québec's Ice Hotel

If you have a weird sense of humour... you can send this link to your friends and relatives.

I did that with my family in France. I could hear jaws dropping from this side of the Atlantic. :)

Yup, near Québec City, there *is* such a thing called "L'Hôtel de glace" (Ice Hotel). Buildings that are made entirely of ice (and snow).

Hallways, bedrooms, even the "furniture" *incuding the bed* are all made of ice, and yes you can sleep there for the night or spend a weekend.

According to their own sales pitch, a lot of their clients... come from places like Japan, Hawaii, and the US Southern States, from California and Florida.

Ice is exotic, it seems.

I'm telling you, this is a mad mad world!!! :)

That being said, no one in my family is eager to visit Québec... and staying at the Ice Hotel. Chicken! :)

Enjoy!

Wow!

Merci beaucoup, Clevergirl! This is awesome!

That being said, I've been thinking of visiting the ice hotel near Québec City. It would be a great photo opportunity, and doing so during a weekend... before it melts. :)

Gee whiz, the price for singles are horrible (twice the listed rate, since it's all on *double* occupancy). I'm having a hang up about spending a lot of money for the privilege of sleeping... on a bed made of *ice*. :)

I'm not exactly maso, but I'm not exactly rich either. :)

Sigh...
