La propiedad — DoubleTree
A reliable 3-star stay on Boulevard Wilfrid-Hamel, a 15-minute drive from Old Quebec. The lobby is functional rather than fancy — laminate floors, a front desk clerk in a branded polo, and the smell of fresh cookies at check-in. It suits road-trippers, families, and anyone needing a clean base near the highway. No design flourishes, but the rooms are decent-sized and the staff are efficient.
Crónicas de Quebec
Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as a fur-trading post, making it one of North America’s oldest European settlements. Its Upper Town grew around the Citadelle and the Château Frontenac, while Lower Town developed along the St. Lawrence River. The British took the city in 1759, but French language and culture endured. Today, the UNESCO-listed Old Town preserves 17th-century stone buildings, narrow cobbled streets, and a distinctly European feel.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to DoubleTree, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 through 6, facing away from the street (north side). These mid-level floors avoid street-level rumble and roof-top equipment noise, while providing a quieter, darker sleep environment.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 through 3 (street-level noise and foot traffic from the lobby and entrance). Also avoid any room directly above the lift shaft or the service entrance on the ground floor — audible hum and early-morning banging are common.
Best views
Rooms on the north side face quieter residential streets or the hotel's own courtyard (if present). The south side overlooks the main road, which is louder but offers cityscape views at higher floors.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 offer the best balance of height and sound isolation at this 3-star property.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main road in Quebec City (likely within the historic or commercial district), so traffic noise peaks during morning rush (7–9am) and evening (4–6pm). Fire trucks and delivery vans are common. The ground-floor lift lobby and service door at the rear add clatter until late evening.
Insider tips
1. Request a high floor (5 or 6) north-facing when booking — mark it as a noise sensitivity request. 2. Park in the off-site lot if available (often cheaper than on-site) and ask for a luggage cart at check-in.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Come at dusk for the free sound-and-light show on the square's buildings (projected on walls, May–October, starts at 9:00 PM).
💡 Visit on a free Sunday but get there by 10:00—queue forms fast. The permanent First Peoples exhibition is top-notch.
💡 Skip the main tourist drag on Rue Saint-Jean—cut into the side alleys like Rue des Jardins for quieter spots and cheaper cafes.
💡 Go early morning to avoid crowds and see the mist over the St. Lawrence. Free guided tours run in summer but you need to book online.
