Ice Hotel, Ice hotel in Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Canada.
The structure features 44 rooms and suites constructed from 40,000 tons of snow and ice, with illuminated walls creating white and blue reflections.
After its first opening in 2001, this seasonal hotel established itself as North America's first and only facility built entirely from frozen water.
Local artists create new ice sculptures and architectural elements each winter, incorporating traditional Quebec themes and contemporary design elements into the structure.
The temperature inside remains constant at -5 degrees Celsius, and guests receive thermal sleeping bags rated for extreme temperatures during their stay.
Each spring, the entire building melts completely and returns to nature, making every winter season a new architectural creation with different designs.
