Hotel Du Vieux Quebec – A Favorite for Families in Quebec City

Hotel Du Vieux Quebec is the first and only hotel in Canada using biogas for hotel operations, with carbon-neutral certification backed by Gold Standard carbon offsets. The property operates rooftop gardens that supply organic produce to the on-site restaurant, along with beehives that produce honey sold in the lobby. This hotel earned the Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame by Tripadvisor and was rated #1 hotel in Quebec City for Families by Tripadvisor.

The hotel provides a 24-hour guest lounge with free coffee, books, and board games, plus a complimentary espresso machine and fresh fruit. Guests have access to a fitness center open 24/7, a massage chair, and ski storage for winter activities. Parking includes an electric vehicle charging station and accessible parking, with private check-in/check-out and luggage storage for convenience.

Rooms have been renovated to include historic charm (exposed stone walls, hardwood floors) with modern comforts such as soundproof windows and allergy-free options. Each morning, a complimentary continental breakfast is delivered in a picnic basket hung on the door, containing fresh pastries, yogurt, cheese, and orange juice. In-room amenities include a refrigerator, coffee maker, and tea kettle, with daily housekeeping and laundry services available.

The hotel sits within the 18th-century fortified walls of Quebec City's Latin Quarter, within walking distance of the Château Frontenac, the Citadelle of Quebec, and the Quartier Petit Champlain. Historic cobblestone streets filled with local shops, restaurants, and art galleries are steps from the front door. A gourmet bistro, Le Tournebroche, is on-site, serving meat dishes, vegetarian options, and Quebec cheeses.

The on-site restaurant Hortus shares the building with the hotel and sources ingredients from the rooftop garden as well as local farms. Guests can order breakfast in the room or dine at the bistro for dinner, which offers a menu with gluten-free options and organic produce. The hotel also provides board games, puzzles, and a library in the lobby, plus a piano and fireplace for relaxation.
