La Marquise de Bassano

Top choice in Québec City


The congenial owners have done a beautiful job with this welcoming family home dating from 1888, outfitting its five rooms with thoughtful touches, whether it’s a canopy bed or a claw-foot bathtub. It's peacefully placed on a low-traffic street surrounded by period homes, minutes from the important sights. Only two rooms – including the delightful Library – have private baths.

Breakfast includes fresh croissants and pastries, meats, hard-boiled eggs, cheese and fruit. Parking nearby, including two spaces just outside the hotel, costs $20 to $25 per night.
