Hotel Clarendon

Since 1870, the Clarendon Hotel has been an integral part of Old Quebec. The hotel is located across from the tended grounds of City Hall in a neighborhood crisscrossed with cobblestone streets lined with ornamental gardens. Nearby, you will find a grove of century-old trees. The Clarendon Hotel stands out from other hotels in the Old City by virtue of its architecture. Instead of resembling a ch??teau, as do so many establishments in this part of town, the Clarendon is a jewel of modern decorative arts, a combination of Art Nouveau from the Belle ??poque and Art Deco from the Roaring Twenties. Quebec City's only New York-style skyscraper, the 17-storey Price Building, which dates back to 1929, is the Clarendon's next-door neighbor. Of course, where else would expect to find such a prestigious building with Art Deco architecture? As proof of Quebec City's fondness for this architectural treasure, the Clarendon Hotel was spared the rush to modernize the concrete jungle in the 1970s and was not subjected to the indignity of improvised renovations. The Provincial Premier stays in the Price Building when the National Assembly is in session. And many members of the National Assembly and government ministers have been guests at the Clarendon Hotel, making the hotel a kind of miniature Parliament Building! The Clarendon Hotel can boast of being the first family hotel in the province of Quebec. During your stay with us, you will love exploring Old Quebec and be delighted by what the Clarendon has to offer: its incomparable hospitality. For generations, this is what has drawn business travelers, tourists, artists from around the globe and world-famous musicians to the Clarendon, which also happens to have the best jazz bar in Quebec City.
