Ice-Cold Comfort
(2 of 2)
In the morning at breakfast in the Manoir, Karen Whitcomb, who is there from New Durham, N.H., with her fiance and business partner Scott Drummey, reports having had "the best night's sleep I've ever had in a hotel." Both former glacier scientists, the pair are clearly in their element. Less used to snow is a couple from Dallas, Doug Lainhart and Martena Gooch, who also said they enjoyed themselves in their double sleeping bag. But I suspect it was love that kept them warm.
Next year's Ice Hotel, planned for the Duchesnay Ecotourism Station, a 30-minute drive from the city of Quebec, will be a bit more forgiving. After frolicking in winter activities and chilling out in an even grander Ice Hotel, guests will have the option of retreating to luxurious lodges, with phones--and even a bathroom.
