Neoclassical bank conversion
The 1850s bank headquarters now runs as a contemporary hotel, with guests pouring their own wine beside the lobby fireplace.
“Stepping into the lobby, you're likely to hear a cacophony of English and French as guests curl up by the fireplace, clink wine glasses, and talk about their adventures of the day.”
What it’s good at

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Once the offices of the National Bank of Canada, on a quiet street in the 17th-century heart of Old Québec, Hotel 71 finds new life as a 60-room luxury boutique hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Place Royale sits just around the corner, and the St. Lawrence waterfront is steps from the front door.
The rooms
Rooms have hardwood floors and walk-in rain showers. Higher floors look straight out toward the St. Lawrence River.
Restaurant
Il Matto
Tiered crystal chandeliers hang over dark leather banquettes. The kitchen serves Italian comfort food and an extensive list of grappas.
How it began
Banque Nationale operated here for over a century, back when Rue Saint-Pierre served as Quebec City's Wall Street.
