Hotel Options:
Most hotels from mainstream chains (Marriott/Starwood, Hilton, Fairmont) are located in or close to the Old Quebec neighbourhood which is about 7-8 km from the venue. ALT and Plaza Québec on the list below are the two hotels closest to the pre-dinner event and dinner and are within walking distance.


Marriott:
The Courtyard Quebec City is further out of the Old city while the other 2 are well located. The Marriott Downtown is in a great location to walk around the Old city, so is the Delta but the Delta has less charm.

Starwood:
PUR - Located in St-Roch neighbourhood, a vibrant area of the city.

The FourPoints Sheraton is in Levis, across the St-Lawrence river, which would mean quite a ride from the venue (about 20 km). Not recommended because of location/distance.

Hilton:
The Hilton is well located, close to the Old city. Older hotel but may have been refurbished not too long ago.

The Hampton Inn is also in Levis across the river. Not recommended because of location

Fairmont:
Fairmont Chateau Frontenac is located in the heart of Old Quebec.

Boutique or other hotels (part of smaller chains):
ALT https://www.althotels.com/en/quebec/
Plaza Québec by Jaro https://www.hotelsjaro.com/plaza-quebec/en/
Palace Royal by Jaro https://www.hotelsjaro.com/palace-royal/en/

It was Budweiser, so being “skunky” probably improved the flavour!

The Bud wasn't skunky at all but to be safe I washed out my mouth with a tall-boy of Rolling Rock.

It was very nice catching up! Been a while.

And thanks for all the mileage run advice! It is great to have such experienced “runners” to help plan!
All the best for the future. And do ring when you're in YQB.

But the red wine was excellent. You certainly missed out on that, and the company of course
