Hotel Monastère des Augustines (Québec-City, Canada)

Housed in an exquisitely restored monastery, Monastère des Augustines offers guests leading edge contemporary design and comfortable accommodation in the very heart of Old Quebec. Rooms are available in both “authentic” and contemporary versions, with the authentic rooms paying respect to the original monastery on the site and the contemporary rooms featuring the very leading edge in design. A guest lounge with TV and free Wi-Fi is available upstairs, since these are intentionally absent from the rooms, so as to enhance the contemplative experience. The in-house restaurant prides itself on its health conscious menus that include not only regular meat and poultry dishes, but inventive raw and vegetarian options as well. Monastère des Augustines is in the very heart of Old Quebec, so merely stepping out of the front door one is immersed in the culture and history of the city. As for traditional attractions, the Citadel is approximately 1,000 yards from the hotel and the Museum of Civilisation just 700 yards.
