Traditional Beauty

Since the early 19th century, the British Hotel has stood witness to some of the most important events in Quebec’s history. It has been an inn for weary travellers, a venue for world-class music, and a gathering place for Canada’s post-Confederation elite.

Made of stone and wood, with walls four feet thick to keep out the intense Canadian cold, this unique building was built in the Georgian architectural style but with Quebec influences such as rooftop dormer windows, elevated front steps, and the stone arch or porte-cochère entrance.

Modern Elegance

Once the most elegant hotel west of Montreal, the British was lovingly restored and renovated from 2012 to 2015 to return it to its original beauty and grandeur, including the 1834 ballroom, the Public House restaurant, and ten contemporary hotel rooms and suites.

Today, we pay homage to the unique past of this heritage building by offering guests a balance between the traditional and the stylish — the perfect mix of classical beauty and modern comfort, elegant surroundings and a warm and welcoming ambiance.
