Hôtel de Glace To Open Jan. 4
For the 17th year, Quebec’s Hôtel de Glace (ice hotel) invites visitors to discover the beauties and mysteries of the North Pole.
From the pole star to the Arctic wildlife, the Northern Perspectives theme is the inspiration behind the architectural design of the 2017 Hôtel de Glace and its unique suites. From Jan. 4 to March 26, travellers are invited to experience the joys of winter in a truly enchanting decor at Valcartier Vacation Village.
For the artistic director of the Hôtel de Glace, Pierre l’Heureux, this year’s theme offers a fun way to explore different avenues.
“This year, we’re taking a look at the circumpolar world from both an entertaining and a cultural perspective. This will be an exciting opportunity for visitors to discover different cultures and civilizations, to meet important figures and to take a thrilling trip to the polar ice pack,” he said.
Newly located at Valcartier Vacation Village, the 2017 Hôtel de Glace promises visitors a one-of-a-kind experience in a completely redesigned décor.
“This new location meets the demand of guests to combine the incomparable experience of a stay at the Hôtel de Glace with the chance to take advantage of our Winter Playground, Bora Park, the Valcartier Hotel and our many restaurants. We feel sure that the new Valcartier Vacation Village resort will live up to the expectations of international visitors to the Hôtel de Glace,” said Jacques Desbois, director of the Hôtel de Glace.
The official kickoff of 2017 season for the Hôtel de Glace takes place Jan. 20 with fireworks, live performances and entertainment. Tickets can be purchased in advance until Jan. 6 at $23.
The hotel’s Ice Bar will be hotter than ever with two special party nights. The first is slated for Feb. 17, a Neige presentation, and the second, to be held on March 10, will be presented by Amarula. On the program: a DJ, great entertainment, dancing and special promotions on cocktails served in glasses made of ice. Tickets will be sold at the door on the day of each event.
