CANADA COOL
As winter’s icy blasts fade, a quick nod to the ice hotel, which we thought would be a passing fad but which any country with anything approaching a real winter now builds each year. The most stylish of all is the five-star Hotel de Glace in Quebec City, Canada. Rising from the cold, cold ground every January, the gothicinspired hotel is open for just three months before it melts. The temperature inside the rooms — where you’ll sleep in an Arctic sleeping bag draped on an ice bed-frame — is a mere -4°C. Rates from C$495. ● hoteldeglace-canada.com.
