This eco-friendly, three-pearl property puts vacationers within strolling distance of must-see sites -- including Notre-Dame Cathedral, the castle-like Chateau Frontenac, and the Quartier du Petit Champlain -- so location is one of its main draws. Ambiance is another because L'Hotel du Vieux-Québec strikes an admirable balance between old and new. Housed in a classic brick building, its 45 rooms combine original stone walls with contemporary furnishings and modern conveniences like flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges and free Wi-Fi. Travelers who book directly via the hotel’s website enjoy extra perks (most notably a free breakfast and high-season walking tour). A well-reviewed bistro is attached to the premises, and you’ll find a guest lounge, a small fitness room, and event spaces on-site. If a pool is on your must-have list, try the upper-middle-range Chateau Laurier instead.

The Best Western Premier Hotel l'Aristocrate is an upper-middle-range hotel situated just off the highway coming into Quebec City, near the bridges that crisscross over the St. Lawrence River. Its 100 guest rooms are well-sized and tasteful (if a little generic) with modern bathrooms with rainfall showers and amenities like mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and 42-inch flat-screen TVs. Past guests praise the hotel's fine-dining restaurant, though it's a little pricey and breakfast isn't included in the room rate. There's also a small gym and a decent heated outdoor pool. The location isn't very picturesque, though it can be convenient for those who want regional access. Those looking to avoid the 20-minute drive into Old Quebec City, should consider the Hotel Clarendon, though it tacks on fees for parking and lacks a gym or pool.

Auberge Aux Deux Lions is a charming, affordable redbrick house with 14 cozy guest rooms spread over four floors in the Montcalm district of downtown Quebec City, close to the historic center. This budget hotel has a bed-and-breakfast feel to it (though breakfast is not included in room rates). Some of the budget rooms have private bathrooms located just outside the rooms, and Superior Rooms and Suites have extra amenities like living rooms, kitchenettes, balconies, and access to the hotel garden. Overall, Auberge Aux Deux Lions offers a very good value when compared to similar hotels in the area, but for something a bit more chic (with a higher price tag), Hotel des Coutellier is a good choice.

Manoir d'Auteuil is a charming bed and breakfast located in the heart of the Old City, housed in a historic building that was once a private home. Rooms are full of character and individually decorated, though some are more appealing than others. (They are mid-range, so expect a few less-than-charming details such as bland carpets.) Most of the bathrooms are clean and elegant, and suites have separate showers and soaking tubs -- but a few have odd layouts (such as a toilet right next to a bathtub) and overly bright colors. Additional perks here include free Wi-Fi, free breakfast, and a variety of room sizes to suit different budgets.

Auberge Saint-Antoine is a luxury boutique housed in a historic building on an archaeological site, facing the St. Lawrence River in the Old City. The 95 rooms are sophisticated and spacious, and while decor varies, all have swish touches such as Nespresso machines and sleek bathrooms with heated floors. The restaurant, Chez Muffy, serves excellent seasonal, local cuisine, while the more casual Bar Artefact offers cocktails and gourmet fare, including oysters. Amenities include a modern, 24-hour fitness center complete with free weekly yoga classes, a sauna, and massage rooms, and a free business center, plus multiple meeting spaces and little perks for kids, such as welcome teddy bears. Business travelers shopping around may also want to consider Hotel Le Concorde Quebec, though it lacks the cozy comfort of Auberge Saint-Antoine.

The cozy, upper-middle-range Le Champlain Hotel is located in the heart of the Old City, offering easy walking access to all major attractions. Its 50 rooms are spacious and cute, with a soothing color palette, spotless bathrooms with quirky koi fish painted in the sink, and great amenities including excellent beds, free high-speed Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, and DVD players. Some rooms have exposed brick or stone walls and electric fireplaces that make the atmosphere particularly charming. While the hotel lacks a full restaurant and bar, a good breakfast buffet is served every morning in a lovely room for a fee, and there is an electric wine dispenser in the lobby where guests can taste a variety of local and international wines for a fee. On-site parking is a great perk. The nearby Hotel Clarendon is a good alternative for travelers on a tighter budget.

Auberge Place D'Armes is an upper-middle-range boutique property that occupies two charming 17th- and 19th-century buildings on an endearing pedestrian-only street in the heart of Old Quebec.

Other property features are limited (there's no wellness facilities). Be aware that the hotel isn't directly accessible by car, and there's no elevator. Guests looking for a larger property with charm but a little more lounge space might consider the nearby Hotel Clarendon.
