The Hilton is one of my favorite places to stay in Quebec City. It’s very near the historical section, and it has simply spectacular views from its top floor executive lounge. So if you stay there, I’d say it’s a must to spring for an executive floor room, where you’ll have your own view, as well as access to the lounge.
And that lounge is spacious with complimentary snacks and drinks. You can read or spend time on your computer (or the complimentary computers provided), or you can do as I did – just stare out of the panoramic windows at the gorgeous city of Quebec. I have now seen the city from this vantage point in both summer and winter, and I have to say that winter was my favorite. (Next up: spring and fall.)
From atop the Hilton, I had a bird’s eye view of the Winter Carnival, Le Chateau Frontenac, and the ice floes on the St. Lawrence River. At dusk, it was easy to imagine that I was living in another era as I looked down at the historic buildings with their snow-covered rooftops bathed in the glow of the golden streetlights.
Of course, the Hilton also has everything you could want in a 4-star hotel – accessibility, meeting rooms, business center, babysitting services, room service, an on-site convenience store, fitness room, and pool. The property also has two restaurants – Le23 and Allegro. Le23 is on the 23rd floor with those panoramic views and serves lunch and Sunday brunch, while Allegro is where you’ll have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. On Fridays, Allegro has an all-you-can-eat seafood, lobster, and sushi buffet.
My room was ample with a floor-to-ceiling window, blackout curtains, desk, mini refrigerator, coffee-maker, large flatscreen TV, in-room safe, marble bathroom, bathrobe, and Crabtree and Evelyn bath amenities. It was a comfy place to relax after a day of sightseeing in the cold. If you’re planning to visit Quebec City, I highly recommend the Hilton for top-notch service and amenities. But the number one draw is that can’t-be-beat view. Try not to miss it!
