The Auberge Saint-Antoine in Quebec City, QC, has a history as varied as that of the city in which it is situated. The oldest section was originally a house built in 1725 by a French fur trader. In 1822, following the Seven Year War, a stone warehouse, now the hotel’s restaurant, was built by an English merchant. It was used as a glass and stoneware storage, relics of which are displayed throughout the hotel. When the country’s railroad was built, the old port, which did not (yet) have a bridge to connect it to the new rail lines, was largely abandoned. The Price family bought the properties in 1989 and has converted it to this present-day auberge.
