Location research.

The historical ice-hotel location needs a separate binding.

The hotel operator records a move to the former Québec zoo site in 2011 and to Village Vacances Valcartier in 2016. The current hotel point must not be used automatically for the earlier Frozen design-research visit.

Scope evidence ↗

This is an animated film. Real-world settings, inspiration and design research need their own evidence; fictional settings do not establish live-action filming locations.
