Hotels in Quebec with Balconies

What better place to soak up the sights and sounds of Quebec City than your own hotel room balcony? Whether you want to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening while admiring the illuminated buildings of Old Quebec, or have a relaxing breakfast overlooking the St Lawrence River, a Quebec City hotel with a private balcony can offer one of the best travel experiences in Canada. That being said, Quebec City hotels with balconies are in short supply, and the vast majority of hotels in Quebec City do not have rooms with a balcony or terrace. However, for those who plan ahead there are a small number of hotels with balcony rooms that are sure to offer a memorable and unique experience:

Some of the best balcony rooms in Quebec City can be found at the Auberge Saint Antoine where the Luxe Terrace rooms have balconies with excellent views of either the St Lawrence River or the beautiful historic buildings of Old Quebec City. Relaxing on your private balcony eating your room service breakfast in the morning or sipping a glass of wine in the evening, while taking in the magnificent view is truly a memorable experience.
Located close to the Old Port in the Old Town, the Auberge Saint Antoine is a luxury Old Quebec City hotel, which has often been featured in Travel and Leisure Magazine’s list of World’s Best Hotels.
The terrace rooms are in demand at this hotel, and early reservations are strongly recommended.

Located within the walls in the upper section of Old Quebec City, the Hotel Terrasse Dufferin has 4 balcony rooms which overlook the famous Terrasse Dufferin boardwalk as well as having fantastic views of the St Lawrence River, and a good view of the Chateau Frontenac to the side. The balconies are perfect for enjoying a croissant and glass of wine while watching people stroll by and listening to the musicians on Dufferin Terrace. The accommodations at this hotel are comfortable and the rates very reasonable considering the location. The balcony rooms are booked up well in advance and it is advisable to make early reservations, particularly during the summer.

Located right next door to a theatre in Old Quebec, L’Hotel du Capitole has 3 rooms with balconies with views of Old Quebec City and the St Lawrence River. Two of these rooms are from the hotel’s regular room category and one is a mini-suite. These balcony rooms can be requested at the time of booking, but cannot be guaranteed, so if you need to be certain of receiving a room with a balcony you should try one the other hotels in Quebec City.

Hotel Le Priori is a boutique hotel in the Old Port of Quebec which, along with regular hotel accommodation, offers a selection of suites. Two of these suites have a balcony. The balcony in the Diva Suite offers views of Old Quebec, while the balcony in the William Suite has an interior view overlooking the hotel’s own restaurant terrace.

A different style of balcony can be found at the Hotel Palace Royal where many rooms have an interior balcony in the atrium overlooking the hotel’s indoor swimming pool. Although there are no views of Quebec City, the atrium views have their own charm and the balconies offer a place to sit outside your room and enjoy your morning coffee.
