Fodor's Expert Review Le Capitole Hôtel

972 rue St-Jean, Québec City, Québec, G1R 1R5, Canada Fodor's Choice

Freshly renovated, this turn-of-the-20th-century structure just outside the St-Jean Gate and the fortifications is a fancy hotel, dining destination, and 1920s cabaret-style dinner theater (the Théâtre Capitole) all rolled into one. The décor is glamorous, with touches of cream, gold, and light gray, and furnishings are nothing short of luxurious with marble bathroom, King beds, and heated floors. Horizon rooms offer unobstructed views of Old Québec—some even have a balcony. Outside the comforts of the rooms are two surprisingly-good-for-a-hotel restaurants, Il Teatro (Italian) and BÔ cuisine d'Asie (Asian), as well as a Champagne bar on the 6th floor.
