How do Quebecs R&C hotels and Grands Chefs restaurants stack up internationally?
A. The quality in Quebec is at the top of any international list. Toqué! certainly is up there, and my guest room at the Auberge St. Antoine in Quebec City was among the best in recent travels – contemporary, yet warm. The rates at Quebec’s Relais & Châteaux hotels and R&C Grands Chefs restaurants are among the most affordable in the world. Q. What is the most special aspect of R&C properties? A. The uniqueness of each property. Each one has a personality that reflects the local history, design and architecture, cuisine and the talents of the owners. R&C conjures an image of traditional cuisine and comfort, or even luxury. How have the hotels stayed current? Many have modernized with the latest technology – wi-fi, LCD televisions – and luxuries like steam showers and jet tubs. And almost all serve gourmet cuisine with a contemporary flair. We have streamlined the worldwide reservation system and redesigned the guidebook. For more information, call 800-735-2478 or visit www.relaischatea
