Old Québec charm meets modern convenience at this property near the Château Frontenac, which attracts a mix of couples and businesspeople staying on expense accounts.

A few rooms have themes, such as the Capitaine, decorated as a ship-captain's quarters, the Victorian, or the Garden.

In this landmark building, perked up with some sleek and well-integrated modern touches, the public rooms—from the cozy and elegant Bar 1608 to the 700-seat ballroom reminiscent of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles—are all opulent; guest rooms are just as elegantly furnished, like mini châteaux, with cream, gold, and green touches. There are more than two dozen suites. This hotel is a tourist attraction in its own right, so the lobby can be quite busy. Reserve well in advance, especially from late June to mid-October.
