What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms are bright and spacious, with high ceilings, custom-designed furniture, and tall windows overlooking Cap Diamant or the rooftops of the old town.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Avenue Sainte-Geneviève is a quiet residential lane, just steps from the boardwalk at Dufferin Terrace and the Citadelle.
The rooms
Tall windows look out on Old Quebec rooftops. Every room holds custom furniture made from regional ash and oak.
At the table
A 7-meter counter runs along tall windows in the salon, set for continental breakfast before turning into a quiet workspace.
How it began
Former owner Georges-Édouard Desbarats sold the house to finance the New York Daily Graphic, the world's first illustrated daily newspaper.
