36 Best Hotels in Quebec City, Quebec

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. The hotel's chef, Hugo Coudurier, now heads the flagship restaurant, Le Champlain, which was extensively and luxuriously renovated, along with all the hotel's other restaurants and bars.

This elegant hotel incorporates the historic stone walls of a 19th-century warehouse along with artifacts dating to the 1600s, many of which were found during an expansion and are now in glass displays in the public areas and guest rooms. Antiques and contemporary pieces fill the bedrooms, some with fireplaces, large terraces, or river views. A few rooms have themes, such as the Capitaine, decorated as a ship-captain's quarters, the Victorian, or the Garden. Guests can arrange private movie screenings at Cinéma St-Antoine, a comfy on-site theater, or work up an appetite in the gym before dining at the hotel's restaurant, Chez Muffy. 

Guest rooms at this luxury hotel, inside the city's first National Bank of Canada office, have 12-foot-high ceilings, excellent amenities, and stunning views of Old Québec.

Hôtel 71 is part of the Preferred Hotels and Resorts alliance.

The first of its kind in North America, this hotel, open from the first week in January to the end of March at Village Vacances Valcartier, is built entirely from ice and snow each year. You can tour the art galleries of ice sculptures, visit a chapel where marriages are celebrated, lounge in the hot tubs, have a drink in a glass made of ice at the bar made of ice, and dance in the ice club before nestling into a bed that's made of ice but lined with deerskin (a warm sleeping bag is also provided). The standard overnight packages start at around C$399 and include a welcome cocktail, access to the Nordic area's hot tubs and sauna, and a hot breakfast. If you'd rather not brave the frigid temperatures for a whole night, you can take a tour of the facilities for C$25.

Sophistication and attention to every detail prevails in the modern rooms of this chic boutique hotel—from the custom-designed swing-out night tables to the white goose-down duvets and custom umbrellas. Entering the lobby, it's tempting to sink into one of the off-white couches and never get up. The hotel, which was built in 1912 as a warehouse, has rooms on higher floors with views of either the St. Lawrence River or the Old City. The evening cocktails on the terrace are popular with locals and visitors alike.

Travelers with a preference for minimal and modern design will appreciate this slick boutique hotel (part of Tribute Portfolio/Marriott alliance) with its light-filled rooms, great views, and location in an interesting neighborhood.

Dream catchers and vibrant paintings adorn the walls, and entry to a traditional longhouse and the on-site museum, which is filled with traditional artifacts, is free for guests. The solid and elegant La Traite Restaurant serves wild game, organic fare, and rare dishes, such as seal. At night, guests gather around a riverside fire pit that's just begging for s'mores and ghost stories. Soothing river sounds and woodsy landscaping make this the ideal spot for relaxation.

Freshly renovated, this turn-of-the-20th-century structure just outside the St-Jean Gate and the fortifications is a fancy hotel, dining destination, and 1920s cabaret-style dinner theater (the Théâtre Capitole) all rolled into one. The décor is glamorous, with touches of cream, gold, and light gray, and furnishings are nothing short of luxurious with marble bathrooms, king beds, and heated floors. Horizon rooms offer unobstructed views of Old Québec—some even have a balcony. Outside the comforts of the rooms are two surprisingly-good-for-a-hotel restaurants, Il Teatro (Italian) and BÔ Cuisine d'Asie (Asian), as well as a Champagne bar on the sixth floor.

Stay in a 17th-century monastery—and the birthplace of the first hospital in North America—that's been transformed into a contemporary holistic retreat. The rooms are located in the cloisters and are generously sized, filled with light, and tastefully appointed with modern materials; some even have original brick walls and wooden ceiling exposed. Free breakfast is served in the health-focused, Nordic restaurant; the twist, though, is that all guests have to remain (somewhat) silent. Packages with a daily program of holistic activities are available.

This recently renovated hotel with large, functional rooms is an excellent and stylish option for business and budget-minded travelers.

Charming details like buttery croissants delivered to the room each morning, exposed brick walls, and lush linens make this boutique hotel a popular base for demanding travelers.

Located on a charming street corner at the heart of Vieux-Québec, this intimate inn built in 1876 by the Ursuline order has quaint décor and antiques and sometimes small but warm rooms, some with exposed brick.

At Hôtel Nomad, each of the six rooms has a story to tell and a personality all of its own.
