We had an amazing stay in Quebec at the Le Bluenose. The property manager was exceptionally accommodating and easy to communicate with. Everyone was very kind and made our stay extra nice. The location is perfect! Less than a five minute walk to shops and boutiques, bars and restaurants. The apartment is beautiful and spacious with access to a beautiful roof deck. Would stay here again and recommend to anyone going to Quebec!

A wonderful stay in old Quebec

The apartment was clean, very well equipped and in an excellent location. Check-in was a breeze because Pierre, a lovely man, was there to greet us and answer questions. The four of us couldn’t have been happier with our stay.

Outstanding place, unforgettable experience

Our group stayed at the Bluenose as part of a short-term study abroad university trip. Since one of our students is in a wheelchair, we needed accessible accommodations. This place was everything we needed and so much more. Everyone had space for themselves, but also to enjoy time as a group (meals, a movie, playing cards)... This was an outstanding place; we'd love to come back!

Great for families

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Bluenose. The condo is very spacious and clean. The kitchen is well stocked and a lot of thought and care was put into making things more comfortable for families. There was a highchair, pack 'n play upon request, but there were also plates, cups, and cutlery for kids too. The property is quiet. The area was great. Parking is convenient and we were able to walk throughout all of Vieux Québec.

This was a beautiful place to stay. Lots of space for the 5 of us. Beds are super comfortable, complete kitchen and bonus rooftop patio to enjoy the river. Walking distance to all of old Quebec City places of interest! Lots of restaurants and a beautiful cobblestone square to sit and relax with a latte’ minutes from accommodations. Would definitely recommend.

The apartment was perfect! We had 3 couples and we all had lovely bedrooms, but it was wonderful having a large living room/gathering area. The size of the apartment was great. Everything worked perfectly and the owner was so kind and accommodating. The location was great so that we could walk to most things. As a bonus there were fireworks one evening and it was a real treat to see them from the rooftop deck (which was also lovely for drinks one afternoon). Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I highly recommend!

We found this apartment in the Royal Dalhousie to be phenomenal. It it was spacious, and the bedroom layout worked well. It was a great location, right along the river, but with quick easy access to the old town. The host was great, answering all of our questions and addressing all of our needs. This is as close to a perfect situation as we’ve stayed in quite some time. We cannot recommend this place enough.

About the host

Hosted by Grégoire Biron

Host profile image
The Biron family owns and operates the Royal Dalhousie building. The vision has been to turn this warehouse space into 8 luxury condos since 2011.

This is a family business, so we like to make sure our clients feel welcomed and at home when they arrive at the Royal Dalhousie. We have been living in Old Quebec City for many years, and love sharing our beautiful home with visitors from all around the world. We therefore look forward to meeting you, and offering you an amazing stay in one of our beautifully renovated condos, in the heart of Old Quebec.

Why they chose this property

The Royal Dalhousie is located in the heart of Place Royale. It is from this location that Samuel de Champlain constructed the first habitation; a farm and a shed. The location was named after Louis XIV and is one of the last remaining relics of 17th & 18th century buildings in North America.

All eight condos in the Royal Dalhousie offer breathtaking views of a park overlooking the St. Lawrence River, seen through 8-foot high windows. They also all have high ceilings, hardwood floors and exposed ceiling beams, which accentuate the rich history of these newly renovated condos.

What makes this property unique

SPECIAL NOTE:
This Place Royale condo has a FOUR Star rating from Tourism Quebec. This is the highest rating for any residential tourist accommodation in the Old City. Renting with us ensures that you are renting with an accredited owner with a permit from the City of Quebec and a 4-Star rating from Tourism Quebec! You want rental security? Your first question for any property owner should be "Are you an accredited rental home with the City of Quebec?"
If the answer is no, buyer beware!
