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/

1st ever YQB Fall 2018 Do - Vieux Québec / Quebec City
Some of us here in La Belle Province (along with some remote help from YYZ - hi 24left!) have gathered to organize what we believe will be the first ever Do in YQB!
The details of the venue and catering are still being discussed but we wanted to post the invitation quickly to settle on a date and to give some time to book flights for those who have to fly in. Accomodations will also be recommended soon based on the location of the Do.
Two dates are possible: September 22nd
--
Quelques Québécois (avec l'aide de 24gauche de YYZ!) se rassemblent pour organiser ce que nous croyons être la toute première rencontre FT à YQB!
Les détails du lieu et de la nourriture/boisson sont toujours en discussion mais nous voulions afficher l'invitation rapidement afin de décider d'une date et de donner du temps pour réserver les vols. Nous ferons aussi des recommandations pour l'hébergement basés sur le lieu du rassemblement.
Deux dates sont possibles: 22 septembre

I don't have my class schedule yet, so I can't comment which is better, but I hope to be able to make this one! QC City is a place I've wanted to visit for years

Cool!
I can't make September 22, but might be interested for October 13. Can't commit yet, though.
Great initiative to organise this!

September probably works better for me, but the commitment I've made forces me to attend every North American Saturday do.
You'd have to really tweak the definition of "do" for this to be the first though

Just checking the flight options from YHZ/YQM to YQB on those dates. 3-6 hours with a stop in YUL to fly what would be 325-400 miles direct. Makes me miss the Jazz Air Nova Dash 8-100 flight that used to go YHZ-YQM-YQB back in the 90s. No wonder my wife and I drove when we visited the old city on Victoria day weekend. I'd love to make it to a do sometime but I'll probably have to wait until one happens in the Maritimes. I won't say no for sure, but probably not.
ps You should do a group visit to Montmorency Falls. I was very impressed. We also enjoyed the river cruise, though we were disappointed that the dinner cruise wasn't available in May.

Flying into YQB is always challenging, even from YYZ.
The Falls are very nice. Good hiking around there.
