Visit Hôtel de Glace, North America's only ice hotel

Get frosty this winter with a visit to the Hôtel de Glace in Québec. North America's first ice hotel opened their 2011 season January 7 with a new theme, larger living space, and new location just ten minutes from downtown Québec City. The 32,000 square foot is made of 15,000 tons of snow and 500 tons of ice and features 19 foot ceilings. The hotel features 32 rooms and amenities a spa and sauna, ice cafe, an exhibition room, an ice chapel for weddings, fireplaces (we're not sure how they function, but they do), an ice slide, and a restaurant.

Saw this article on aol news and thought I'd pass it along. These ice structures never cease to amaze me I am not sure about anyone else? Imagine if the world froze over this might be how people start resettling and carving out a new lifestyle!! I guess you'd never have to worry about keeping the beer cold.
