Auberge Saint-Antoine, Quebec City, Canada

Set between the stone streets of Old Québec and the working edge of the St. Lawrence River, Auberge Saint-Antoine feels both deeply rooted and quietly contemporary. 

With 95 rooms and suites, this boutique hotel is built over documented archaeological sites, where centuries of history are woven into a clean, modern design language. 

The result is intimate, thoughtful, and unmistakably tied to its place.

What Makes It Special

• A rare hotel built directly atop preserved archaeological remains
• A prime position in Québec City’s Old Port, steps from the river
• A refined balance of historic materials and modern architecture
• A boutique scale that keeps the atmosphere personal and calm
• Interiors that tell stories subtly, through texture rather than display

A Day at Auberge Saint-Antoine

Morning

Light reaches the room softly from the river side. Breakfast unfolds unhurried, with views toward the St. Lawrence River, where ships move slowly past the old stone shoreline.

Afternoon

The city invites wandering. Time drifts between the narrow streets of Old Québec, nearby museums, and quiet pauses back at the hotel, where historical artifacts appear thoughtfully integrated rather than showcased.

Evening

As daylight fades, the Old Port settles into a gentler rhythm. Dinner feels intentional and composed, shaped by a sense of place rather than formality.

Night

Stone walls and layered materials hold the quiet. Outside, the river darkens and movement slows. Inside, the hotel feels cocooned, allowing sleep to arrive deep and uninterrupted.
