Quebec City, Canada
Canada's Hôtel de Glace -- North America's only hotel made entirely of ice and snow -- opens for its 11th season on January 6 (and stays open through March 25). Built on the former site of the Québec Zoo, the only animals you'll find here today are the cold-loving humans aching to spend an evening braving the elements, enjoying a sauna under the stars in the hotel's Nordic area or taking a turn on the fun-for-all-ages Grand Ice Slide.

My wife and I are banned from every ice hotel built. She is red hot and melts any of the beds we have used, and the companies refuse to build a new bed each time after we leave.

So where do you go potty at and shower or bath in a tub ? I'll pass on these, give me a warm bed in a nice hotel anyday.

Execellent Idea to keep the beer cold.
09:40 PM on 01/16/2012
The people that came up with this idea, have way too much time on their hands.
