Hôtel Le Germain Québec

Québec City


The flagship of a classy Québécois chain with 18 properties, this hotel combines understated luxury with superb service. It occupies two adjacent historic buildings, one once a bank, the other a fruit-and-vegetable market. The 60 rooms are quiet, cozy and tastefully designed, with sumptuous mattresses, Egyptian-cotton bedding, fluffy towels and bathrobes, good lighting, big windows, attractive woodwork and glow-in-the-dark basins.

The enormous lobby and salon is a delight, with its lovely fireplace and games corner; the outdoor terrace is welcome in summer. Dogs are treated as first-class guests as well; a $30-per-stay fee gets you a doggie bed, plus food and water bowls.
