The Property — Nouveau a Stoneham-et-Tewkesbur
The Nouveau is a straightforward three-star hotel off Autoroute 73, just north of Quebec City. Its lobby smells of coffee and pine-scented cleaner, with a stone fireplace and armchairs that locals use as a meeting spot. The USP is location: minutes from the Stoneham ski slopes (summer hiking and mountain biking) and a 20-minute drive to Old Quebec. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, no-fuss base for outdoor activities or a quiet overnight before heading into the city.
Chronicles of Quebec
Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury was founded in the 1790s by English and Scottish settlers logging the Montmorency River valley. Its early growth revolved around sawmills and the timber trade, with the village centre slowly shifting from St-Edmond to the current highway crossroads. The area became a skiing destination in the 1960s, and today it balances working-class roots with outdoor tourism. Contemporary identity is tied to Mont-Sainte-Anne and the nearby national parks, with a quiet, blue-collar feel away from Quebec City's tourist zones.
Best Time to Visit
Full Quebec guide →Best months
June and September offer mild daytime highs (20-25°C) and lower humidity, perfect for hiking and biking without the July-August crowds. October is excellent for foliage, but cooler (5-15°C).
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak, driven by Quebec City summer festival season and outdoor activities around Stoneham. Hotel prices in Stoneham can jump 30-50% above shoulder months; the Quebec Winter Carnival (late Jan-early Feb) also spikes demand for ski accommodation.
Budget shoulder season
May and late September-early October are the best budget shoulder months. Crowds thin, hotel rates drop, and the weather is still pleasant for walking and sightseeing, though evenings require a jacket.
Weather & packing
Quebec's climate here is continental with sudden swings: a sunny 25°C afternoon can turn into a chilly 10°C evening with a drizzle. Pack layers—a waterproof shell, a light fleece, and long trousers—even in summer.
Live City Briefing — Quebec
- Autoroute 73 north of Quebec City is under construction near exit 162 until late 2026, expect 15-20 minute delays during weekday commutes; check Transport Quebec alerts before driving.
- The Stoneham bike park and hiking trails opened for summer on 10 June 2026, with new flow trails and a redesigned chairlift access point for mountain bikers.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Nouveau a Stoneham-et-Tewkesbur, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor away from the lift and stairwell for less foot traffic noise. Corner rooms often have extra windows and feel more spacious.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms directly above the bar, restaurant, or conference rooms — these can get loud until late evening. Also skip rooms next to the ice machine or vending alcove, as they bring frequent door slams and chatter.
Best views
Try for a room facing the rear of the property — often looks out onto trees or local countryside, not the car park or main road. On higher floors, ask for an end room for a wider angle.
Quietest floors
Ask for a top-floor room — usually quieter since no one is walking above you. Mid-floors can also be calm if set away from the main corridor activities.
🔊 Noise notes
Internal noise from walls can be a factor in older buildings. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Also check if there's a wedding or function on the day you book — that means extra noise until midnight.
Insider tips
1. Book directly with the hotel and ask if they have any quieter rooms available — front desk staff often know which rooms are best. 2. If you're flexible on dates, choose a Sunday–Thursday stay for lower rates and fewer groups.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
