Frommer's Review

Old Québec meets new in one of the city's most romantic boutique hotels. The owners stripped the 1912 building down to the studs and started over, keeping the angular lines and adding soft touches. Québec-made beds are topped with mattresses that are deep, soft, and enveloping, heaped with pillows and feather duvets. Custom-made bedside tables swing into place or out of the way, and even the least expensive rooms are large. About a third of the rooms have only showers, while the rest include tubs. Room no. 206 is a dandy, with a shower that shares a glass wall with the bedroom and views of the city's centuries-old, formerly industrial buildings. A hearty continental breakfast is set out along with morning newspapers near the fireplace in the handsome lobby, and a machine that dispenses free espresso is available round the clock. A fitness room has been rigged up in the basement.

Facilities:
Espresso bar; exercise room; concierge; room service; babysitting

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
