Quebec City is a charming destination renowned for its rich history, European flair, and stunning landscapes. Its crown jewel is Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where cobblestone streets wind past 17th and 18th-century buildings, vibrant cafés, and boutique shops. Dominating the skyline is the iconic Château Frontenac, a grand hotel perched atop Cap Diamant, offering sweeping views of the St. Lawrence River. The city’s fortified walls, the only remaining ones in North America outside Mexico, add a sense of timelessness and make every stroll feel like stepping into a storybook.  Beyond its historic charm, Quebec City boasts a vibrant cultural scene and year-round activities. In summer, the streets come alive with festivals, outdoor concerts, and terraces bustling with locals and visitors alike.

Old Quebec City is a rich source of inspiration for design enthusiasts, blending historic charm with timeless elegance. Its cobblestone streets, centuries-old architecture, and vibrant details offer endless ideas for incorporating traditional elements into modern designs.  The area’s French colonial and Victorian influences shine through in its ornate woodwork, vintage chandeliers, and antique furnishings, providing inspiration for elegant, layered spaces. Local galleries and artisanal shops offer unique textiles, ceramics, and decor, allowing designers to infuse projects with authentic cultural character.  All of this makes Quebec City an amazing designing destination!

 

Auberge Saint-Antoine, located in the heart of Old Quebec City and recipient of two Michelin Keys, is the ideal accommodation for Designing Destination 2025. This luxury boutique hotel seamlessly merges history with modern design, showcasing a unique blend of heritage and contemporary sophistication. Situated on a historic archaeological site, the hotel incorporates artifacts from its rich past into its stunning interiors, offering a perfect example of how storytelling can enhance design. With its refined decor, warm ambiance, and thoughtfully curated details, Auberge Saint-Antoine provides a wealth of inspiration for any design enthusiast. Its central location in Old Quebec makes it a convenient starting point for exploring the city’s architectural treasures, artisanal shops, and vibrant culture.
