Quebec Hilton

Introduction to Carnival de Quebec - the Quebec Winter Carnival

Where to stay, when visiting the Quebec Winter Carnival? The Quebec Carnival site has suggestions, including Winter Experience Packages at the Quebec Hilton and Chateau Frontenac. The Chateau Frontenac is a historic hotel that grandly overlooks the Lower Town area of Old Quebec and the icy St. Laurence river.

The Quebec Hilton, meanwhile, is a good spot for families for several reasons.

• Location is a five-to-ten-minute walk from many places you'll want to do, such as: Old Quebec; family-friendly food sources including McDonalds and a grocery store; Place Hydro Quebec, a venue for the Quebec Carnival with skating, music, old-time booths; the Ice Palace at Place Loto-Quebec; and the main Quebec Carnival site at Place Desjardins on the Plains of Abraham.

Also convenient for families: you'll find a food-court in the mall underneath the Hotel.

Finally, price is reasonable, with special Quebec Carnival packages for as low as $139/room/night. (Call 418-647-2411 or 1-800-HILTONS.)
