\"The<\/p>\n

Quebec City<\/a> is beautiful. While it\u2019s regularly overlooked in favor of bigger destinations like Toronto<\/a> and Montreal<\/a>, this is where European explorers first arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. A cultural hub in the province of Quebec (as well as the province\u2019s capital), the city\u2019s Old Town is one of the best preserved in all of North America. <\/p>\n

As a foodie and history buff, I love Quebec City. It\u2019s a fun place to visit no matter the season, though I think it is especially beautiful in winter when it’s old world charm is covered in snow.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a popular getaway destination (for Canadians and visitors alike), so there are a lot of hotels to choose from here. Some are amazing and will greatly enrich your experience, while some, well, won’t at all. <\/p>\n

To help you make the most of your visit there and choose from the hundreds of hotels that will come up on booking websites, here\u2019s my list of the best hotels in Quebec City. <\/p>\n

1. Hotel AtypiQ<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nOpened in 2022, this new three-star hotel offers excellent value for the location. It embraces a unique concept of offering super small rooms that are just big enough to accommodate the bed that folds down from the wall. The rooms themselves are minimalist, with light tones and lots of natural light, as well as a few wooden accents. The bathrooms are small too, but nice and new, with rainfall showerheads, complimentary toiletries, and cool murals on the shower walls. The in-room amenities are sparse (just a flatscreen TV) but there\u2019s a shared kitchen where you can make food or grab a coffee, as well as a garden and terrace for when the weather is nice. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a simple free breakfast included (bread, fruits, meats) but you have to make it yourself using the shared kitchen. Overall, this is a super-efficient hotel that almost feels like a hostel. I think it\u2019s a great value choice for budget travelers wanting the privacy of a private room and bathroom.<\/p>\n

2. Fairmont Le Ch\u00e2teau Frontenac<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis hotel is one of the most iconic sights in the city (if not the entire country). Opened in 1893, the luxurious Ch\u00e2teau is such an important landmark, in fact, that you can take guided tours of the hotel<\/a> even if you\u2019re not staying here. If you do stay at this five-star hotel, it feels like you\u2019re living in a historic palace. The spacious lobby is super opulent, with dazzling chandeliers and winding stairs that give the hotel that classic posh character. <\/p>\n

The rooms here are stylish and airy, though I do think that they feel a little outdated thanks to the bland carpet and color palette of the rooms. In-room amenities include a rainfall shower, desk, and coffee maker. The award-winning Ch\u00e2teau also boasts several gourmet restaurants and bars as well as an indoor pool, a hot tub, a spa, steam rooms, and a fitness room. The breakfast, while pricey, is amazing and has tons of options for all diets.<\/p>\n

If you want timeless luxury, stay here.<\/p>\n

3. H\u00f4tel du Jardin \u2013 Par Les Lofts<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis three-star hotel is comprised of spacious loft apartments, making it a great choice for groups or families (or anyone looking for a bit more space than your standard hotel room). It feels a bit like staying in an Airbnb, as there\u2019s contactless check-in and passcode entry. The lofts feature a minimalist design with light tones and wooden accents, as well as huge grayscale animal portraits on the wall. The bright tiled bathrooms have rain showers with excellent pressure (something I always appreciate), desks, soft beds, coffee makers, and flatscreen TVs.<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s no breakfast available, there are lots of places within walking distance where you can grab a bite (the neighborhood it\u2019s in, Saint Roch, is actually one of the best areas of the city for foodies). Overall, it\u2019s a simple but comfortable choice for couples or groups who want more space. I think it\u2019s especially ideal if you\u2019re planning a longer stay in the city, as this trendy neighborhood has more of a local feel than the Old Town. <\/p>\n

4. Auberge J.A Moisan<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nTravel back to Victorian-era Quebec in this charming four-star bed-and-breakfast. This B&B is decorated similarly to when it was first built in the mid-19th century, with floral duvets, colorful wallpaper, and exposed brick and wood. I like that you can enjoy the fantastic continental breakfast spread (there are fresh croissants!) in the Victorian parlor, hang out on the outdoor terrace, or prepare your own meals in the guest kitchen. <\/p>\n

The rooms are on the smaller side with few amenities (for example, there are no TVs in the rooms, though there is one with a Roku stick in the parlour that you can use). The cozy rooms have super comfy beds, antique lamps, and period furnishings, and many even have deep claw-foot tubs in the bathrooms (I find the bathrooms a bit small though). While it\u2019s not a very spacious property, it more than makes up for it in charm and service. It\u2019s one of the most unique stays in the city.<\/p>\n

5. Chateau des Tourelles<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis cute three-star inn is just a 10-minute walk from the Old Town. The rooms are simply but tastefully decorated, with tons of natural light, hardwood floors, colorful walls, and even some exposed brick. All rooms have flatscreen TVs, a desk, and super comfy beds. Some of the suites have a private terrace and jacuzzi if you feel like splashing out. There\u2019s no breakfast available, but there\u2019s a Nespresso machine in every room and coffee\/tea available in the common area 24\/7. You\u2019re walking distance to lots of dining options here too.<\/p>\n

What I especially like is that there\u2019s a common rooftop terrace where you can hang out and take in the panoramic view over the city. Another plus is that you can reserve a parking spot if you have a vehicle. This is another place where check-in is done digitally, which is convenient if you\u2019re arriving at an odd hour. <\/p>\n

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance<\/strong>
\nTravel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:<\/p>\n
