    Where in Canada Can You Stay in a Hotel Made of Ice?

    May 23, 2019 / 3 Comments

    I wake on a bed of ice, intricate carvings of a basilisk surrounding me, light subtly creeping through a snow ceiling and polished bricks of ice. Outside this crystal ice palace, the world is still and silent. The kids, in the bed beside ours, just a few feet away are still snugly bundled, not yet stirring.

    The Story of Quebec City Art and Architecture

    June 5, 2018 /

    Quebec City has a remarkable story written on its streets via the statues, public art and beautiful landmark buildings.

    Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac – Modern Amenities in an Old World Castle

    May 29, 2018 /

    Nestled inside the walls of Old Quebec lies the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. Originally a castle, this stunning building is now one of the most luxurious, memorable hotels in Canada. I stayed at Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac while I attended the Women in Travel Summit being held there, and I can say without a doubt that it was one of the most scenic and luxurious hotels I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac Perfectly Combines Old World and Modern Day The Fairmont began as a castle, and as such, it has some unique rooms, which I find charming. It recently underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation, and it…

If you make a purchase via one of the links I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.  A Quebec food tour is a wonderful way to learn history and get an insider’s view into where to eat when visiting the city. The food in Quebec City is a curious blend of multiple influences from Europe and aboriginal peoples in Canada. That makes the food scene exciting, unique, and worth investigating, which is exactly what we did recently when visiting Quebec City for a womens’ travel writing conference.
