The 5 Best Hotels in Quebec City (Updated 2024)

Quebec City is beautiful. While it’s regularly overlooked in favor of bigger destinations like Toronto and Montreal, 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’s capital), the city’s Old Town is one of the best preserved in all of North America.

As a foodie and history buff, I love Quebec City. It’s a fun place to visit no matter the season. It’s especially beautiful in winter.

It’s 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. Others won’t.

To help you make the most of your visit, here’s my list of the best hotels in Quebec City.

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’s 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.

There’s 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’s a great value choice for budget travelers wanting the privacy of a private room and bathroom.

2. Fairmont Le Château Frontenac

This hotel is one of the most iconic sights in the city (if not the entire country). Opened in 1893, the luxurious Château is such an important landmark, in fact, that you can take guided tours of the hotel even if you’re not staying here. If you do stay at this five-star hotel, it feels like you’re 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.

The rooms here are stylish and airy, though I do think that they feel a little outdated thanks to the bland carpet and color palette of the rooms.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…
