HOTEL DU VIEUX QUEBEC, Quebec City

Hotel Du Vieux Quebec is the first and only hotel in Canada using biogas for operations, with a carbon-neutral certification backed by Gold Standard carbon offsets. The rooftop gardens supply organic produce to the on-site restaurant, while beehives on the roof produce honey sold at the front desk. These environmental efforts earned a Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame from Tripadvisor and the #1 rating for families in Quebec City by Tripadvisor.

Placed within the 18th-century fortified walls of Old Quebec, the hotel is within walking distance of the Château Frontenac, the Citadelle of Quebec, and the Quartier Petit Champlain. The historic cobblestone streets outside the door contain local shops, restaurants, and art galleries. Guests can explore the city without a car, using the hotel's accessible parking and electric vehicle charging station.

The on-site gourmet bistro Le Tournebroche offers meat dishes, vegetarian options, and Québec cheeses, with organic produce from the hotel's rooftop gardens. A complimentary continental breakfast is delivered each morning in a picnic basket hung on the guestroom door, containing fresh pastries, yogurt, cheese, and orange juice. The hotel sells honey from its rooftop beehives and produces its own jams.

A 24-hour guest lounge provides free coffee, books, board games, and puzzles. The hotel offers well-equipped event spaces that accommodate six to 60 people, a 24-hour fitness center with a massage chair, and ski storage for winter guests. Additional services include a 24-hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, and daily housekeeping.

Rated the #1 hotel in Quebec City for Families by Tripadvisor, the hotel includes board games and puzzles for children in the lounge. The breakfast picnic basket is a family favorite, and staff provide personalized assistance, including helping with parking for oversized vehicles. Safety features include key card access, smoke alarms, and 24-hour security.
