The Hotel de Glace, North America’s answer to Sweden’s famous Icehotel, will open its doors on January 7.
The hotel, which is painstakingly constructed every year for a relatively short period of time, chooses a different theme for each season and has opted for “Biodiversity in all its forms” this year (which runs January 7 – March 27).
Ice sculptures and architecture will be installed in the public areas and the themed suites, offering visitors “habitats inspired by the cohabitation of all forms of life”.
