Quebec City Places to Stay July 2026

Hi All - driving to Quebec City the first week in July. My husband and I (65 & 70) prefer a smaller hotel or inn, ideally with a breakfast room but the most important feature will be walkability and comfort. Would like to stay in the old city but trying to figure out exactly where would be best. We prefer to walk to most places but do not want to stay in a loud, overcrowded area. Looking at 4 & 5 star properties.

Would you recommend the upper or lower city neighborhood & why?

A few places I'm looking at are Auberge Saint-Antoine, Le Germain Hotel Quebec, Monsieur Jean - Hôtel Particulier. I've already considered and rejected Frontenac as overly touristy. I'm at the very beginning of my planning - any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance! Peggy

We have stayed at Hotel 71 and thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. It is in Old Quebec so it’s a boutique hotel in a great location. The Italian restaurant on the premises is excellent.

We have yet to stay there but plan to on a future visit, Le Germain Hotel Quebec. It comes highly recommended from Montreal based cookbook author and former restaurant critic Lesley Chestrman. She travels frequently to the Quebec City area.

We stayed at the Monasteres des Augustines in Quebec.
https://monastere.ca/en/

It’s a beautiful setting with lovely renovated rooms and both a very healthy breakfast that is for overnight guests and a dinner buffet at extra charge that’s open to all. The food was fabulous and was vegetarian friendly. The Augustinian nuns established the monastery to be the first hospital in North America north of Mexico in the 17th century. It’s now a lovely hotel with the traditional historic areas seamlessly blended with a new modern wing. The nuns now live in a separate area but you can participate in vespers with them. The hotel offers yoga classes too and massages are available. They have a beautiful history museum. (Something for everyone!) We stayed for 5 nights and toured the city from there with a Road Scholar Group. I would definitely return.

We stayed at Auberge Du Tresor for 2 nights post cruise. Fabulous historic (1640) boutique hotel updated with comfortable rooms and amenities. Breakfast was great in the downstairs restaurant and it is in the heart of everything, although we did not find it at all too busy or crowded. The other bonus is it's incredibly reasonable prices.
