HOTEL TERRASSE DUFFERIN, Quebec City

The location places you at the top of Old Quebec, with Terrasse Dufferin and the Dufferin Terrace boardwalk directly outside the door. The funicular is steps away for quick access to the Quartier Petit Champlain and Lower Town. A bus stop is a 2-minute walk, providing service across the city. The train station is a 20-minute walk uphill; a taxi costs about CAD 12. Many of Old Quebec's restaurants, shops, and historic sites - including Montmorency Park, the Plains of Abraham, and the Rue du Trésor - are within a 5- to 10-minute walk. The hotel's walkability makes a car unnecessary for most sightseeing.

Rooms vary in size and layout, from compact double rooms to multi-bed suites. Each room includes a private bathroom with shower (some with bathtub), air conditioning, a coffee maker, and a refrigerator stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks. Upper-floor rooms (2nd to 4th floor) provide the best views of the St. Lawrence River and the Château, but require climbing stairs. Lower-floor and garden-side rooms offer more quiet and easier access. Rooms are individually decorated with period-appropriate wood furnishings. Some rooms include a separate seating area, a work desk, and extra appliances such as a kettle. The overall size can be snug, especially for larger groups or those needing a cot.

A daily breakfast is available for an additional charge, featuring continental-style items. The common dining area includes a microwave, toaster, and dishes, allowing guests to prepare simple meals. The in-room refrigerator is stocked with complimentary snacks, juice, milk, and cream. Coffee, tea, and muffins are also provided. The hotel is surrounded by dozens of restaurants on Rue Saint-Louis and Rue du Trésor within a 3- to 5-minute walk, including Bistro Le Sam, Champlain, and Au 1884. For self-catering, a coffee house is on site.

The hotel is steps away from Terrasse Dufferin and the Plains of Abraham, ideal for walking, jogging, and sightseeing. The on-site activities programme includes free walking tours and paid bike tours, pub crawls, and local culture classes. Off-site leisure options include cycling, hiking, horse riding, fishing, windsurfing, and live performances. The surrounding neighbourhood is safe and quiet, with the Citadel and parkland behind the hotel.
