Canada's Ice Hotel warms hearts news.yahoo.com QUEBEC CITY, Canada (AFP) – A winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations. Guests huddle for warmth in sleeping bags on beds of ice, bonnets pulled over their ears to prevent frostbite, while sipping cocktails in glasses also made of ice. A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway, the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600,000 curious tourists, including 30,000 who stayed overnight, since opening seasonally 11 years ago. Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin, dozens of couples will exchange vows this winter in a temporary chapel adjacent to the hotel, sculpted entirely from blocks of ice with pews covered in furs. "There's something I like more than being a little bit chilly ... it's (cuddling up for warmth) with somebody you love," says Victoria, sporting a fur hat, visiting with her fiance from the northeastern US state of Massachusetts.
