Auberge de la Pointe

Québec


This enormous complex, located a short drive from the city center, consists of several pavilions overlooking a lovely bend of the St Lawrence. The rooms are brilliantly designed, achieving a nice balance between stripped-down-cool and warm coziness, and there's a spa, restaurant, bar and even a theater on the grounds.
