Why We Stayed Here

We chose the Hilton Quebec City because it is directly connected to the Quebec City Convention Center, making it perfect for attending TBEX, a travel content creator conference. Its unbeatable location next to Old Quebec and across from the Parliament Building gave us the convenience we needed for both work and sightseeing.

First Impressions

From the moment we walked in, the Hilton Quebec City felt upscale yet welcoming. The modern lobby, friendly staff, and quick check-in process made a great first impression. We were especially excited to get a room on the 20th floor with stunning views.

Executive Lounge Access

One of the highlights of our stay was the Executive Lounge on the 23rd floor. It was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of seating areas for relaxing or catching up on work.

The breakfast spread each morning included hot items like eggs and bacon, along with pastries, cereal, yogurt, and fresh fruit. In the evenings, we enjoyed a selection of appetizers, cheeses, and desserts paired with wine, beer, and soft drinks.

The attentive staff kept everything well-stocked and clean, and the floor-to-ceiling windows provided panoramic views of Old Quebec, the Parliament, and the St. Lawrence River. It felt like an exclusive little retreat within the hotel.

Location and Walkability

You can’t beat the location of the Hilton Quebec City. It’s a short stroll to the historic Old Town, the Citadel, and plenty of shops and restaurants. We loved how easy it was to explore the city on foot from our hotel base.

Transportation to and from the Airport

Getting to the Hilton Quebec City from Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) is easy. A taxi or rideshare takes about 20–25 minutes, depending on traffic. For a budget-friendly option, the RTC public bus (Route 80 or 81) also connects the airport to downtown. If you’re renting a car, the hotel offers on-site parking for a daily fee.
