See here what the hotel recommends for the stay:

Soon you will live the winter experience of a night at the Hôtel de Glace. In order to be well prepared, the key information needed for your stay is explained hereafter.
Dress properly to enjoy every minute!
During the day in Québec, winter temperatures outside vary from ‐25°C to 5°C (‐13oF to 41oF). Adequate apparel is recommended. Follow the three‐layer technique.
The interior layer is composed of undergarment. They must allow humidity to escape your body. Synthetic clothing or a mix of wool and synthetic fabric are recommended. Cotton is not recommended since it retains humidity.
The middle layer must isolate air and control humidity. A wool, flannel or polar fleece sweater is recommended.
The exterior layer must shield wind and humidity without affecting your comfort and movements. Since heat escapes easily trough our head, it is important to cover your head appropriately. The hat must cover the ears. A scarf will also help cover your neck and throat. Gloves or mittens will keep your
hands warm, especially to enjoy a cocktail served in an ice glass! Boots must be big enough so that you can wear thick sox and protect yourself from humidity.
At night use dry clothing which will not have been worn during the day. A very few garments are necessary to avoid being too hot. A high level of heat will create sweats which will then transform into humidity and will ultimately make you feel cold.
Include the following in your suitcase:
• Alternate hat
• Alternate scarf
• An extra pair of sock
• Alternate long underwear
• A pair of mittens or gloves
• A swimsuit
• Sandals
• A padlock for changing room
