What a charming hotel. Fire place on the ground floor, sport facilities, charming staff and fantastic rooms (either facing the beautiful seminary building or the Saint Laurent river). Quiet rooms with king size bed, a nice size bathroom and very clean with very comfortable linen. Breakfast is nice but I would have loved cooked eggs however, the fresh croissants and chocolate croissants combined with nice bagels, fruits, vegetables... plus a great coffee machine. A fantastic stay in one of the most beautiful city.

Germain Dominion is "my" place in Québec City, whenever I visit. Each time I go, I know I'll have the most comfy bed, a view over the Saint-Laurence River, a great location to walk around in the city and great service from the front desk staff (from great restaurant recommendations to finding for me the liquid for contact lenses at 1am...)
The included breakfast in the morning is simple, but just what you need to start your day, and you can set up in the breakfast area for a quiet one-on-one breakfast, or seat at one of the huge tables and mingle with other "vacationers".
There might be other great places in town, but I don't really feel like trying them out... !

Near or far, a big part of enjoying a healthy and happy life is making time for the occasional weekend getaway! Whether it’s a spa day, a road trip, or a beach getaway doesn’t so much matter. The key is treating yourself once in a while, and last weekend was my own much needed winter getaway in beautiful and historic Quebec City.

One of the prettiest cities that I’ve visited, Quebec City is also one of the oldest in North America. First settled almost 600 years ago by French explorers, Quebec City is a charming and romantic destination to discover. The city has a very old European look with an abundance of stone buildings, and is perfect if you enjoy walking dates and discovery magnificent views.

Not one to sacrifice my creature comforts, I stayed at the boutique Germain Dominion hotel located in the old part of the city close to the water. This was my second time staying at a Germain hotel (which is a boutique chain with hotels only in Canada) and I highly recommend the Germain Dominion if ever you decide to visit Quebec City. While the 8 story building turned 100 years old in 2012, the hotel was recently renovated and is modern and luxurious.

Loved the cozy fireplace in the Germain lobby, with a real wood fire blazing day and night. Also really enjoyed the communal continental breakfast served in the lobby, since it encourages interacting with the other guests! And since Quebec City is a tourist destination and the Germain is an upscale hotel, there were certainly a lot of interesting characters that I met during my 2 day visit

So many picturesque streets to explore, and an abundance of french restaurants to try. My favorite during my 2 day trip was the quaint little SSS restaurant in the lower Quebec City neighborhood just around the corner from the Germain. Food was amazing and so was the atmosphere, with the cold outside fireplaces were a theme for this girl

Impeccable service, professional in every way, very clean, elegant and as cozy as an hotel can be. I absolutely love this hotel and every time I'm in Quebec, I make a point to stay at Dominion Le Germain. I strongly recommend it to you.
