10 unique places to stay in Quebec
I always like to stay in some cool places when I travel. When I look back on my travels, it’s nice to remember all these cool experiences I’ve done, and cool hotels, Airbnbs, or properties I’ve been at. I hope that when I am old, I’ll look back and tell my husband: Do you remember that time we drove around the country in a campervan or that time we stayed in a dome looking over the mountains!
It’s always nice to experience something different and out of the ordinary! Whether it’s food, culture, properties, or a unique experience, it can add so much to your overall experience on that trip or even a small at-home getaway.
So I’ve gathered some of the most unique places to stay in Quebec so you can add a great experience to your trip here!
Dômes Charlevoix
If you are looking for an eco-luxury experience, this is the place to go! The domes are located right in nature but you will feel like you’re in a luxurious property. It is located at Petite-Rivière-Saint-François. These domes are a great place to stay to discover the Charlevoix region of Quebec.
The domes can sleep four people while providing the comfort of a 5-star hotel. They have a fully equipped kitchen and a functional bathroom. Each dome has a hot tub on the patio as well. Among the luxuries provided, you’ll have a radiating floor, an indoor fireplace, and an AC for the warm summer months.
Repère Boréal
If you are looking for an escape in a tiny house right in nature you won’t be disappointed at Repère Boréal. They are located in the Charlevoix region too. There are so many things to do around, you won’t have time to get bored! Some of the tiny houses even have a panoramic window so you can look at the stars!
There is a small kitchen inside the houses. When you book on the site, you’ll have access to a spa area for free, including hot baths and a sauna. Showers, bathrooms, and potable water are located in the main building. If you don’t feel like going grocery shopping and bring your food, you have the option to add some food to your booking. There is a vast menu you can choose from and everything will be inside your tiny house when you arrive! For people visiting Quebec, this is such a great option!
Ice Hotel
Looking for an experience out of the ordinary? It can’t be more original than this! Sleeping outside on an ice bed in the dead of winter! The Ice Hotel is located in St-Gabriel-De-Valcartier near Quebec City. You can choose from many different types of rooms. From one single bed to two, to a theme suite and even a suite with a fireplace, the options are grand! Feeling luxurious, you can also rent a suite with a fireplace and a private hot tub!
Among the activities you can do while staying at the Ice Hotel, you can slide down winter slides, slide some waterslides inside the Bora Park and enjoy some relaxing time at the spa.
Floating houses
Stay in a floating house at Bora-Boréal. Located in Stoneham near Quebec City, you’ll have a stunning view of the mountains while enjoying the sounds of the water lapping nearby. In the summertime, go kayaking on the lake or paddleboarding. During winter, do some ice skating on the lake or go skiing at the mountains resort close by.
Treehouse
Have you ever dreamed of building your own treehouse? Or even just sleep in a treehouse? Now you can do so at Aventures Nord-Bec located in Stoneham. Not far away from downtown Quebec City, you’ll be able to enjoy nature in your treehouse! There are many outdoor activities you can enjoy all around too.
Parc Omega
This one is at the top of my bucket list! How would you feel sleeping with the wolves? This cabin is situated right in the forest where wolves roam free. This cabin is the most luxurious of the park. There is a full panoramic window so you’ll be able to enjoy unrestricted views of these animals in their natural habitat.
The cabin has a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The cabin can sleep, four people. You will have the opportunity to have a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with this magnificent animal and an experience you will never forget!
Lighthouse
In Bas-Saint-Laurent, you can actually sleep at the Pot a l’Eau-de-vie lighthouse. The island is also considered a bird sanctuary. At the end of the day, you will be the only ones left on the island to spend the night in the lightkeeper’s house. You will be able to enjoy quiet and beautiful sunsets!
The package is all-inclusive. You’ll have lodging, meals, and a tour of the island.
Hobbit house
Are you a fan of The Lord of the Rings? Even if you are not, it’s still pretty cool to sleep in a Hobbit house! I know, Quebec isn’t New Zealand, but it’s still a great experience out here! Head to Entre Cîmes et Racines situated in Bolton-West. This ecolodge has everything to accommodate a family of four. There is a dry toilet inside and no electricity. There is a fireplace to keep you warm and a small kitchenette as well.
Suspended Bubble
These spheres located in Le Parc Aventure du Cap Jaseux inSaint-Fulgence are sure to take your breath away! Suspended in the trees, they offer a great view and a great experience too. The bubbles can accommodate up to four people. You’ll have a beautiful view of the Fjords.
The spheres have basic supplies so you’ll be able to cook. There is no heat or electricity so bring some extra layers if you are always cold. There is no fridge either so make sure to bring a cooler. You’ll have access to a washroom and showers close to the main building.
I haven’t tried any of these yet but they look so much fun that I will have to try and book some of these! I actually can’t wait to go to Dome Charlevoix next June!
