Hotel

A haven of peace and serenity in the heart of the Heritage-listed Old Quebec city, Le Monastère des Augustines is the site of the first hospital on the American continent north of Mexico. Now a Heritage site dedicated to total health, the historic buildings harmoniously coexist with contemporary architecture and also adhere to the principles of sustainable development.

From breakfasts in silence to ambling through the vast gardens and museum dedicated to the building’s history – this is a rare opportunity to unwind and connect directly with the Augustinian Sisters’ remarkable heritage.

Open to people of all cultures and beliefs, Le Monastère des Augustines approaches spirituality from a historical and cultural perspective. While no form of worship is held within the walls of Le Monastère, all guests are free to live and reconnect with their spirituality in their own personal and private way.
