A Warm Reception Promised at the Ice Hotel
QUEBEC CITY Monday January 1 (Reuters). — Canadian businessmen opened on Monday North America's first Ice Hotel and said 1,000 tourists had already signed up to spend a night in a chilly building made of ice and snow.
The hotel built of 4,500 tons of snow and 25 tons of ice, opened outside Quebec City in a place overlooking the St. Lawrence river and the Montmorency Falls which are higher than world well known Niagara Falls. New Year's Day opening followed a weekend snowstorm.
"The hotel is fully booked with 22 people in our six suites," Ice Hotel communications director Helene Barbeau told Reuters. "The staff unveiled the hotel on New Year's Eve and even slept in the ice beds," she said in an interview.
The Ice Hotel's facilities include a bar, a cinema and two art' galleries, with exhibits made of sculpted ice about Canada's Great North and Inuit people, as well as executive suites complete with an ice bed. The cost — $100 per one person a night — includes a hot breakfast and a sleeping bag on top of animal fur for the ice bed.
The Canadian structure cost C$750,000 to build, including C$125,000 from the Quebec provincial government.
Most of the 1,000 people who have reserved rooms for the season are Americans who come from as far away as Texas, Florida, California and Arkansas, but some also are tourists from South Africa, Japan, France, Germany and Britain. Those who reserved for Monday's opening came from New York, Maine, Washington and Montreal.
"We also expect 40,000 people to visit the site this winter," Barbeau said adding that the wedding of a local celebrity is to be held at the hotel on January 27.
The Ice Hotel will stay open for three months before the ice and snow melt in early
The idea of an ice hotel is being imported from Sweden, where what was advertised as the world's first ice hotel was built about ten years ago in Jukkasjarvi, a drive of seven hours from Stockholm.
The Quebec Ice Hotel (www.icehotel-canada.com) has a surface of 10,760 square feet, one quarter the size of its Swedish counterpart. It has a staff of 32 people.
The Ice Hotel intends to move permanently to the Duchesnay resort west of Quebec City next year. The new Ice Hotel should
be able to accommodate 85 guests. It also will be the size of two football fields, four times larger than the current Ice Hotel and comparable in size to its Swedish counterpart.
"People will be able to do cross-country skiing, snowmobile riding and winter fishing," Barbeau said.

A the USA. BCanada. C the UK. D. Sweden.

A Stockholm. B Montreal. C Quebec. D Duchesnay resort.
2. The hotel opened

3. The Quebec provincial Government contributed into this structure
