"A landmark boutique hotel in the Old Port composed of three centuries-old buildings built atop a former cannon battery and maritime warehouse; the property functions partly like a museum, combining historic stone walls with modern comforts such as heated floors, high-end sound systems and views over the St. Lawrence River. The hotel’s recently revamped restaurant centers on hyperlocal ingredients, including produce sourced from an on-property farm on Île d’Orléans." - Claire Sibonney
"A boutique property notable for its artifacts (some found on-site) showcasing more than 300 years of European history, offering a stay that feels layered with local discoveries and historical context." - Nina Caplan
"Located in Québec City's Old Port on Îlot Hunt, an area facing the St. Lawrence River, Auberge Saint-Antoine is a Relais & Châteaux property filled with artifacts that date nearly as far back as the city's foundation. Its contemporary services, decor, furnishings, and tech amenities anchor the Auberge Saint-Antoine firmly in the present, making it a top-level stay. Each of the 95 rooms is unique, featuring its own antiques and local designer touches. (And we wish every hotel had one of Auberge's ingenious "Do Not Disturb" buttons next to their beds.) Rooms overlook the River on one side and the courtyard on the other, so pick lodgings with a view if possible. —Isa Tousignant"
"The concierge played an active, personalized role in directing the author to a nearby favorite tavern for a memorable final meal, illustrating the property's hands-on guest service." - Sarah Khan
