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

    May 23, 2019 /

    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. Beside me, wrapped in a burrito sleeping bag, is my husband. I hear the familiar rise and fall of his breath. What Can I Expect Overnight at Hôtel de Glace Quebec? I squeeze my eyes shut a moment longer, listening with my whole body to the sounds of morning in an ice castle. A…

    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. The city is a slice of Europe and nowhere is that more apparent than in the magnificent Quebec City art and architecture punctuating the dramatic landscape. With strong Catholic influence, British and French flavour mingled with aboriginal traditions, this city is one of a kind. Quebec City art and architecture tells a rich story of the city, how it started, the many challenges faced here, and of course how it evolved to be a popular heritage and cultural hub, as well as an international travel destination. Old Quebec City has been a…

    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…

    May 22, 2018 /

    This post contains affiliate links as a service to my readers. 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. From Toronto, Quebec City is a long drive…
