The History of The Ice Palace Inn began more than 100 years ago when the city of Leadville, Colorado, built the famous Leadville Ice Palace. Constructed to bolster a sagging economy, the Ice Palace took 36 days to build and covered an entire five acres of land. Constructed of 5,000 tons of ice and 307,000 board feet of lumber, it was the largest ice palace ever built on the North American continent and the only one to have ever been fully utilized. It housed enormous ice sculptures in the many rooms and had towers 90 feet tall.
It contained an ice rink, a dining room, a grand ballroom, a snack bar and kitchen, multi-purpose room, cloakrooms, storerooms, a riding gallery housing a carousel, a mini-theater and toboggan runs. Every room, with the exception of the ice rink, was heated. Colored electric lights illuminated the crystalline castle creating a fairyland atmosphere on top ofLeadville's Capitol Hill. Leadville's 1896 whirlwind social season overshadowed the chinook winds that taunted the Ice Palace until it was officially closed on March 28, 1896.
Turn-of-the-century Victorian luxury is blended exquisitely with modern comfort in our five beautifully furnished guest rooms. Each of the unique rooms, named after the original rooms of the Ice Palace, are elegantly decorated with antiques, quilts, feather beds*, private baths, robes, hair dryers, umbrellas, an extra heater for the winter and a fan for the summer, and complimentary bath products -- enjoy!.
