Ice hotels are constructed in a number of places in the world, but to my
knowledge, all of the others are in pretty remote locations where very
few people live. Some require quite elaborate travel arrangements. This
one is ten minutes outside of Quebec City. We drove there in our own car
and parked in the parking lot.

It says something about Canada that a place reliably cold enough to
build an Ice Hotel every year has a (metropolitan) population of three
quarters of a million people.
