The 7 Most Unique Hotel Experiences in Quebec City
Big hotel chains are perfectly fine—that is, unless you want a unique experience for the family album. These hotels offer something totally different and unexpected that sets them apart from traditional lodgings. These are the most unique places to stay in Quebec City.
Le Monastère des Augustines
Why it made the list
Step in to the past—a more pious time—for an experience of quiet contemplation. A fully-restored 17th century cloister, this property is a living museum with all the comfort of a four-star hotel. The focus is on holistic health and serenity—a welcoming refuge from relentless urban noise and clamber. Behind the old stone wall (still standing), there are 17th century gardens and a meticulously restored campus—including a museum, boutique, wellness experts, a restaurant and hotel. It’s all blessed, no doubt, by the ghosts of the original Augustinian nuns who came to Canada in 1639 to care for the sick.
Hotel Le Germain Charlevoix
Why it made the list
Worth the 60-minute drive outside Quebec City, this one-of-a-kind property is loved for its pastoral views and modern pleasures. Built on the site of a former farm run by nuns, this ultra-modern complex has stables, a thermal pool, a spa, an art gallery, a bakery, the chef’s herb garden and a eucalyptus steam bath. The five buildings on the property are each unique, with a unified Nordic design theme. Rooms have exposed wood and comfy big beds. Guests operating on a smaller budget appreciate the economical dormitory, with showers and no baths. We love the fact that Le Germain is heated and cooled by geothermal energy.
