Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Clarendon

This is the oldest operating hotel in Québec City; half of its rooms have excellent views over Old Québec, and the others overlook a courtyard. And although the original building dates back to 1870, several fires have severely damaged it and there is very little vintage charm left. What's now available is a no-nonsense, somewhat quirky, modern hotel with excellent customer service. Restaurant Les Mordus serves high-quality seafood with an emphasis on local ingredients.
