Six 5-star hotels in Québec City – how to choose
The best hotels in Québec City all stand in Vieux-Québec or right beside it – the differences are a few minutes’ walk.
Le Capitole Québec · Vieux-Québec - MontcalmUp on the rock stands the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, the landmark of the city – for us the first address, and with 62 categories more than half of the whole selection on its own.
Down at the old port follow the Auberge Saint-Antoine, a Relais & Châteaux hotel, and the Hôtel 71 Québec.
Outside the walls, towards Montcalm, lie the Le Capitole Québec on Place d’Youville and the Monsieur Jean Québec, at 132 € the cheapest 5-star hotel in Québec City.
And towards the Colline Parlementaire stands the Québec City Marriott Downtown.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
In Québec City the hotel credit is not one figure but a staircase of four steps – and it is worth knowing before you book which step you land on.
At the top sit 100 US dollars: freely usable at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, for food and drink at the Auberge Saint-Antoine.
One step across – and this is a one-off in our portfolio – the Le Capitole Québec counts in the local currency: 100 Canadian dollars, also for food and drink.
Below follow 50 US dollars at the Monsieur Jean Québec and 25 US dollars at the Hôtel 71 Québec.
And now the twist: it is the Hôtel 71 Québec, the hotel on the smallest step, that holds the penthouse suite of 112 square metres – the fourth-largest category on the whole page, from a hotel with only six categories.
Our advice: in Québec City read the credit and the room size separately. The two rankings pull apart here, and looking at only one of them leaves the other on the table. Our travel advisors will lay both side by side.
For context: the typical rate is 215 € – a very calm figure for an old town of this rank. And at five of the six hotels the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
Where to stay in Québec City: Upper Town, Vieux-Port or Montcalm
Québec City is small on foot, but it has two storeys.
Monsieur Jean Quebec · Vieux-Québec - MontcalmIn the Upper Town you stay behind the walls, on the terrace above the river, with the château in view. Our recommendation: the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac.
In the Lower Town at the Vieux-Port begin the lanes of Petit-Champlain and the market. Our recommendation: the Auberge Saint-Antoine.
Outside the walls, in Montcalm and around Rue Saint-Jean, things get younger: theatres, bars, bookshops. Our recommendation: the Le Capitole Québec.
And on the Colline Parlementaire stand the parliament, the museums and the Plains of Abraham. Our recommendation: the Québec City Marriott Downtown.
For orientation: Montmorency Falls are a quarter of an hour east and taller than Niagara, the Île d’Orléans begins just behind them, and Montréal is barely three hours along the river.
Rooms and suites: the best hotels in Québec City from the inside
The best hotels in Québec City offer 109 categories, 41 of them suites.
Hôtel 71 Québec · Vieux-QuébecOne hotel shapes that number: the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac supplies 62 categories, more than half – and the three largest suites on the page, from 137 through 128 to 127 square metres.
Right after them comes the exception: the penthouse suite of the Hôtel 71 Québec at 112 square metres, from a hotel with six categories.
As for the view, each hotel has its own subject. From the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac you look onto the St Lawrence river, from the Hôtel 71 Québec onto the roofs of the old town – that exists here only once –, at the Auberge Saint-Antoine onto the inner garden and from the Le Capitole Québec across the city.
Tell our travel advisors whether it should be the river, the roofs or the garden.

When it is at its best: from June to October. The terraces are open, the river glitters, and at the end of September the leaves turn on the Île d’Orléans.
When it is cheap: in November and in April. Those are the quiet weeks between the seasons, with the lowest rates in the city.
When to book early: for the Carnaval de Québec in February, the largest winter carnival in the world, for the Festival d’été in July and for the autumn colours at the end of September.
And whatever the date: the suitespot benefits apply in February exactly as they do in July.
How long to stay: three nights – one for the Upper Town with the terrace, the citadel and the walls, one for the Lower Town with Petit-Champlain and the old port, and one for Montmorency Falls and the Île d’Orléans.
That fits the conditions: at five of the six hotels the benefits apply from the first night, at the Monsieur Jean Québec from two nights.
Points and status you collect at three of the six hotels, spread across 3 programmes: ALL (Accor), I Prefer and Marriott Bonvoy.
The St Lawrence, food and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
What our travel advisors arrange most often in Québec City is the evening on the Dufferin Terrace: the boardwalk above the river, the château at your back, the ferry to Lévis crossing every twenty minutes – and then the stairs down to Petit-Champlain as the lights come on.
