"The Scandinavian concept of the ice hotel exists in only one place in North America: Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Québec, the home of the straightforwardly named Hôtel de Glace. From January through March its extravagant igloo-style buildings contain some 85 guest rooms, whose beds are dressed not just with blankets but with furs and sleeping bags as well; some of the high-end suites come with fireplaces, and a few even have a hot tub and a sauna." - Mark Fedeli
