Quebec City Bed and Breakfast Inns

The impressive Chateau Frontenac, with its aged copper roof and turreted castle design, stands on the site of what was the military and administrative centre of New France and is an integral part of the city skyline. Named for the Comte de Frontenac, governor of the colony from 1672 to 1698, it holds a beautiful and commanding view of the St Lawrence River and is Quebec City's most celebrated landmark.

The wide wooden boardwalk known as Dufferin Terrace sits high above the St Lawrence River and offers incredible views. This popular strolling spot is within easy walking distance of luxury hotels, quaint bed and breakfasts and boutique hotels blossoming in historic buildings. At one end of the boardwalk the Frontenac Kiosk houses the top end of the funicular, a handy cliff side elevator/trolley that connects Old Quebec's Lower Town with its upper cousin.

Whether you choose to stay amidst the curving cobblestone streets of Old Quebec, or in the sophisticated modern city that has expanded outside the time worn walls, you will find a host of accommodation choices. From intimate and elegantly appointed boutique hotels to self contained apartments, studios and condominiums there are options to suit many varied personalities and needs. Feel like being pampered in grand style? Luxury hotels, of the modern variety as well as meticulously renovated legends are available to grant your every fantasy. EasyRez can help you find your perfect vacation get-a-way.

Bed and breakfasts can be found throughout the many neighbourhoods of Quebec City. Some, particularly in Old Quebec offer the chance to stay in historic buildings that have seen two centuries or more. Others put you in quiet neighbourhoods that give one the experience of living with the locals. From the comfortably modest to those offering multi course gourmet breakfasts, there are B&B's to suit every taste and budget.

Surround yourself in elegance in an 1851 Georgian style mansion within the walls of the old city at the Old Quebec Georgian Bed & Breakfast Inn. Period furnishings, decadent high ceilings and a façade straight out of the works of Charles Dickens this three story charmer will have you imagining you've travelled back in time. Try tickling the ivories on the baby grand piano in the parlor or just wander the cobblestone streets of Vieux Quebec.

Still want to be amidst the fun and excitement of Old Quebec but looking for a room with a view? The Old Port Bed and Breakfast offers the best of both worlds. Modern rooms in a 350 year old heritage building offer a bird's eye view of the old city, Chateau Frontenac and the ever changing St Lawrence River. People watch to your hearts content on the hillside terrace. Plan your day's adventures from this lofty vantage point. Let your imagination wander as you admire the original brick and stone walls of your guest room. Touch these walls...and touch history.

Bed and breakfasts in quiet residential neighbourhoods offer their own type of holiday experience. Generally more low keyed, smaller and more intimate these homes welcome guests to share the local living experience. Less than a ten minute walk from the walls of Old Quebec is the upscale area known as Upper Quebec City. B&B's such as the 1922 Tudor B&B Inn offer a relaxing, peaceful setting yet are close enough to put the excitement of the old city within easy reach. Though almost one hundred years old, this home is a youngster compared with many. It also offers a shady garden terrace, complete with Adirondack chairs that invite lingering on a warm summer afternoon. Check with EasyRez for summer specials to this charming location.

Some bed and breakfast owners become quite creative in making their homes memorable and unique. Fond of impressionist artists? A Unique and Elegant B&B within walking distance of Old Quebec honours the likes of Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir and Degas with rooms designed with each artist in mind. Spend your vacation surrounded by splashes of beautiful colours, muted or otherwise. This creative home is not only one block from the Plains of Abraham, but quite fittingly a mere block from the Musée National des beaux arts du Québec as well.

Those wishing a more rural setting can have their wishes met in a lovely 19th Century Manor House in Chateau Richer. Located halfway between the Quebec City and charming Mont Ste Anne, a fifteen minute drive will have you sampling the delights of either destination. Surrounded by five acres of landscaped parkland and fronting a coveted riverbank location one can spend hours just soaking up the natural beauty. This bed and breakfast inn also sports its own seasonal swimming pool area, with breakfast served al fresco in the warmer months.

Quebec City is considered one of the snowiest areas in Canada and averages 384 centimetres annually.
