Hôtel de Glace

Visiting the Hôtel de Glace in Québec City was an unforgettable experience! The craftsmanship and artistry behind each ice sculpture were breathtaking, creating a magical atmosphere throughout the hotel, chapel, bar, and slide. Every detail, from the carved walls to the illuminated ice decor, was stunning. It wasn’t overcrowded, so we could fully enjoy exploring. The nearby winter playground, tubing park, and indoor water park made it perfect for families. Outdoor fire pits added a cozy touch, and the staff were warm, helpful, and clearly dedicated to maintaining this unique space. Staying overnight is an option too—definitely a must-see from January to March!

Honestly such a unique experience! We did the day pass visit and were blown away by the sculpting technique and the skill. This felt like pure magic. The detail that went into every part of this ice hotel, chapel, bar, restaurant, slide, and exhibit was phenomenal. I cannot recommend stopping here any more highly! It wasn’t too crowded and had so many activities. There’s a winter playground tubing park, indoor water park, and then this ice hotel exhibit. Outdoor fire pits, etc. Staff were friendly, helpful, and very proud to assist in the upkeep of this facility. Wild that you can stay here overnight if you wanted! 10/10 this was so much fun for my entire group. It’s certainly family friendly and accessible for wheelchairs (even though there is snow everywhere, they have a wheelchair on skis!). Take the time to visit this exhibit if here from January-March!

Great experience! Cold as heck! I kinda hate the cold, but if you live it, you’ll be right at home lol. It’s a once in a lifetime experience, even just to see it. Very pricey. I wish I knew more before visiting - they have tubing and sports, and an outdoor winter wonderland! Very kid friendly. Bring a bathing suit. The actual hotel rooms were each individually different and themed. Very cool! And the bar uses cups made of ice cubes!! Gotta do a shot in one for sure.

My stay at Hôtel de Glace was nothing short of magical! From the moment I stepped inside, I was in awe of the breathtaking ice sculptures and intricate carvings that adorned every wall. The level of artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating this frozen masterpiece is truly remarkable—each room is a unique work of art, meticulously designed by incredibly talented artists. Beyond the stunning interiors, the outdoor experience was just as fantastic. The sledding hills behind the hotel provided endless fun, offering a thrilling way to embrace the winter wonderland surrounding the property. It’s the perfect activity for both kids and adults alike! And if that wasn’t enough, the waterpark nearby was an unexpected but amazing contrast to the icy surroundings—nothing beats the feeling of warming up in the water after a day in the snow. The staff were equally exceptional, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile, they ensured that every detail of our stay was seamless. Despite being made entirely of ice, the rooms were immaculately maintained, showcasing the care and dedication that goes into keeping this incredible hotel in top shape. Whether you’re visiting for the art, the adventure, or the unique atmosphere, Hôtel de Glace is an absolute must-visit. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

We went with the kids and they enjoyed the visit. It took about 1:30 hours. Better to plan with 1-2 other activities available in the area/park, which we did not do unfortunately. Bit expensive. Have full winter clothes if you visit. As expected it was so cold. We enjoyed having some juice in an ice glass and hot chocolate. Also alcoholic cocktails are available.

We did the hotel tour. Fantastic ice sculptures. Great concept. Really fun ice bar with drinks. We explored the rooms but didn’t find it as spectacular as rest of the ice hotel. Definitely should visit, the sculptors and builders have added so much detail on every side of the building, it’s mesmerizing!

STELLAR! A true man made wonder of the world! The attention to detail and the degree of engineering and artistic input is above and beyond!! Better experience than I ever imagined! Everyone must experience this at some point in their lifetime!! Very friendly, professional and informative staff. Ample parking. I want to add more stars!!

Another one off our bucket list! The iced hotel was a lot bigger than we thought, hard to imagine that they recreated this (rooms, chapel, restaurant, ice sculptures, etc) every year and the amount of details in each room is incredible. We stayed a night at suite 21, it was pricey but you get a hotel room (check in at 4pm, but we were able to check in by 2:30pm), an iced room (available at 9pm), a drink in a glass that is made out of ice, tour of the ice hotel during the day, 3 hot tubes and a sauna for the iced hotel guests to shared from 9pm onward, skating rink was closed when we arrived, so we didn't get to check that out. We arrived early n did snow tubing too, it was a lot of fun! The sleeping bag provided were very warm, I was cold during the tour so I'm very surprised that I slept through the entire night with base layer, a hat n thermal socks. This was unlike anything that we have ever experienced before, definitely recommend!
