Located a 10-minute walk from Quebec City's Parliament Building in Old Quebec and a 1-minute drive to Highway 175, the Hotel Acadia Quebec City is geared towards travellers who require a centrally-located boutique-style hotel with a free breakfast and easy highway access.
This hotel has 40 air-conditioned guest rooms, each offering free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a coffeemaker, a desk, a CD/DVD player, an iron and ironing board, and a hair dryer. Standard rooms offer one double bed, while various other rooms offer additional amenities such as a fireplace, a jetted tub, and a sitting area.
Hotel amenities include a rooftop hot tub, a business centre, a meeting room, spa services, laundry facilities and a free buffet breakfast, which is served at the nearby Feu Sacre Resto-Grill (around the corner). Parking is $18 per night, pets are not permitted, and the hotel does not offer wheelchair accessible rooms.
Quebec City Hall is about a 6-minute walk north of the Hotel Acadia, while shopping can be found at Quartier Petit Champlain (a 10-minute walk northeastward). The Plains of Abraham are roughly a 10-minute walk southwest, and Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) is approximately a 25-minute drive west of the hotel.
