Fairmont Le Château Frontenac
Hôtel Château Bellevue
*Great if you’re on a budget
With rooms starting at $99, Hôtel Château Bellevue’s location in old Quebec City, just steps from Dufferin Terrace and its breathtaking views, can’t be beat. A continental breakfast is included in the price of a night’s stay at this boutique hotel, and the property boasts exposed brick walls and outdoor hot tubs. —M.

Hotel Le Clos Saint-Louis
*Great for couples
Hotel Le Saint-Paul
*Great budget option
Hotel Le Saint-Paul is located in the heart of Old Port district, where you can window shop as you nibble a flaky croissant from the local boulangerie or plant yourself at a café to watch the world go by. Across the street, tables at the farmers market are crammed with fresh produce, maple syrup and crusty baguettes. The rooms mirror the old-meets-new charm of the neighbourhood with rustic elements such as exposed brick walls and contemporary touches like big-screen televisions. Housed in a 19th-century building, the sizes of its 27 rooms vary so so you can take your pick. —A.F. & M.S. lesaintpaul.qc.caView this post on Instagram
Hotel PUR
*Great if you want to splurge
Hotel PUR’s metamorphosis from a dated 1970s inn into one of the coolest hotel properties in Quebec City, mirrors the evolution of the surrounding neighbourhood of Saint-Roch. Once a deteriorating haven of abandoned buildings, prostitution and drug dealing, it’s now one of the city’s trendiest and most attractive entertainment and business districts. Hotel PUR is innovative and über-modern for a city where traditional heritage architecture in the mode of Chateau Frontenac largely distinguish the range of accommodation options. The design is sleek and sparse, the décor minimalist and sophisticated throughout the hotel’s rooms, restaurant and lounge. Furniture was individually selected and the emphasis is on space not clutter. For example, there are no tacky brochure racks in the lobby or restaurant, standard at most hotels. Though the rooms are not the largest in the city, floor-to-ceiling windows at the foot of each bed provide gorgeous urban panoramas. Bathrooms feature either a Japanese soaking tub or glass walled shower. The lobby features a new wine bar and guests can exercise in the indoor swimming pool. A 20-minute walk to the old city, it’s also smack in the heart of Saint-Roch, close to boutique restaurants, cafés, bakeries and nightlife. —A.F. & M.S. hotelpur.comView this post on Instagram
