9 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. 

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.

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.

Brown leather sofas and wrought-iron chandeliers fill the spacious lobby of this former private house. All rooms have sleigh beds with bedspreads in green, beige, or blue. Those in the newer section are a bit larger, and deluxe rooms have fireplaces and double whirlpool baths. Nearby, the busy Grande Allée is crowded with popular restaurants and trendy bars.

This recently renovated hotel with large, functional rooms is an excellent and stylish option for business and budget-minded travelers. The rooms are large and have been modernized with the Delta's famous "sanctuary bed." There's also a health club beside the heated outdoor pool. The hotel occupies the first 12 floors of a tall office complex next to the convention center; views of the Old City are limited to the higher floors. It's just steps from attractions such as La Citadelle fortifications and the Plains of Abraham battlefield.

Built in 1974, this 29-story concrete high-rise with an excellent location on Grande Allée offers larger-than-average rooms with Keurig coffeemakers, huge windows, and good views of Battlefields Park and the St. Lawrence River. In addition to a large pool and two hot tubs, the hotel features two of the best restaurants in the city, including Ciel!

Quirky and whimsical, close to all the historical and culinary attractions of Old Québec, Monsieur Jean's suites will appeal to travelers who love Louis XIV luxury in its most contemporary expression. Features include heated floors, bright colors, Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, kitchenettes, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the Old City or the river. It's ideal for high quality stays, away from the big brands. The common areas are quite fun too; there's a piano salon, a fireplace living room, and a library with books and board games.
