Your Pet's Staycation in Quebec City

A Home away from Home for Paws & Claws

There aren’t many bonds as precious as the love we share with our pets. Animal companions are absolutely members of our family and bring immeasurable joy to our daily lives. 

Because of this, Auberge Saint-Antoine sees no reason why we should have to take time away from our best four-legged friends during our travels. Our hotel is completely pet-friendly, so you’re welcome to bring your beagles, travel with your terriers, and relax with your retrievers when you visit us. Any friend of yours is a friend of ours! 

(A small additional fee of $45 extra per day covers your pet, plus entitles you to an in-room water bowl, pet blanket, treats, and waste disposal bags.) 

Take a look at some of the convenient resources you and your furry friend can enjoy near our pet-friendly hotel in Quebec City.
