The sleekly designed spaces of Hotel Manoir Victoria deceive its 1830s beginnings. The final brushstroke on a top-to-bottom renovation was in 2016, and while it’s worn the décor of trends through its history, its appeal hasn’t waned.

Looking for smart digs in Old Quebec? Hotel Manoir Victoria’s address on Cote du Palais is within the 17th-century fortifications, so a slam dunk on the location front. The pretty and hilly restaurant-lined streets are within mere moments, and historic La Citadelle is a ten-minute stroll.
