More than 35 hotels are within Québec City's walls, and there is also an abundance of family-run bed-and-breakfasts. Landmark hotels are as prominent as the city's most historic sights; modern high-rises outside the ramparts have spectacular views of the Old City. Another choice is to immerse yourself in the city's historic charm by staying in an old-fashioned inn, where no two rooms are alike.
Be sure to make a reservation if you visit during peak season (May through September) or during the Winter Carnival, in January and/or February.
During especially busy times, hotel rates usually rise 30%. From November through April, many lodgings offer weekend discounts and other promotions.
Hotels are bound to be packed during this year's 400th anniversary celebrations, which officially run through October, so the sooner you book, the better.
