Maison du Fort

Québec City


This B&B in a tranquil neighborhood above Château Frontenac lacks significant common areas, but owner Marielle's old-fashioned hospitality makes guests feel instantly at home. Cat lovers will adore friendly house feline Oscar, along with the faux Old Masters cat paintings, wood floors, and stone and/or brick walls in many of the nine rooms. Corner rooms 6 and 10 are especially inviting.
