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/

Of course the SE flyers get all the crumbs. Think of the peons! 😄
Edit: What’s this I hear about stir sticks? I got nada here!
Edit 2: And, extra barf bags!?! Don’t choke on all those crumbs. 🤮

. I am very happy that I decided to attend to this event, and met some new people. Currently at the YQB lounge with @keitherson waiting for the last rouge flight for the night back to YYZ.

I wanted to thank the organizers, yhztraveller, jasdou, left24, DNAWizard and NordsFan for a fantastic setup and great venue and for the very nice gift you provided to all guests!.
It was my first FT Do in about a decade and one to remember. It was great to meet you all.
Safe journey back home and hopefully we'll share a beer somewhere on this planet!

I am sharing my appreciation to the organizers with Super Larry, this was a fantastic FT Do and this event turned out way beyond my expectations on all counts.
Above all, the people I have met there were nothing short of amazing. It was a blast and I am still kind of processing that information. For some, I am still in shock. I mean, ... but in a positive way. You live only once, right?

Just got back home in YUL a few hours ago. I wanted to add my warmest thanks to our generous hosts and party planner extraordinaires @jasdou, @24left, @Yhztraveller, @DNAwizard and @NordsFan.
You guys did an amazing job and the whole day was awesome. It was nice to put face to names, meet new people and reconnect with those I'd met previously.
I think we can safely say that the first ever YQB DO was a successful one. Well done! ^
