Quebec City - December 10, 2015 - Now in its 16th season, the Hotel de Glace de Quebec invites you to let this winter's Rivers theme sweep you away. Frozen solid or flowing underground, tropical or lyrical in nature, the Rivers theme is the inspiration behind the design for the Hotel de Glace and its suites. Entirely redesigned this year, discover the unique architecture of the only hotel of its kind in North America, open January 4 to March 28, 2016. An unforgettable experience!

For Pierre L'Heureux, artistic director of the Hotel de Glace, this year's theme lends itself to a multitude of interpretations. "From frozen glaciers to rivers flowing underground, visitors are free to explore the banks and meanders of rivers that capture the imagination. Man and water join forces to take you on a voyage along imaginary rivers through a world of ice and snow, as you experience the Hotel de Glace as a River," Pierre l'Heureux explained.

Following a record 15th anniversary in 2015, the organization intends to keep up the momentum for this season's visitors. "Things are looking good! Overnight stays are up, we have close to twenty confirmed bookings for weddings, our website traffic is constantly growing and foreign media coverage is also steadily on the rise. We're excited about picking up where we left off with an all-new sensorial experience that promises to be fun, unique and enriching," enthused Hotel de Glace CEO Jacques Desbois.

Refreshing changes
To add a new dimension to the site, the chapel will be separate from the Hotel itself this year. "We want to make it a special, more significant venue that will be at once awe-inspiring and intimate," Jacques Desbois explained.

Winter sports fans are also sure to appreciate this year's new Heineken sports bar with its ice games and sports TV programming.
