May 26, 2009
If in search of a little pampering while in Quebec City, spend a couple of nights at Loews Le Concorde Hotel. This 4 star, 26-floor hotel, located on the cuff of the old city may be the oddest-shaped building in Quebec City, but it also brags the only revolving restaurant in town.
A favorite pied-à-terre for businessmen, families and those in search of central lodgings with numerous perks, the lavish hotel has also hosted an array of guests from former presidents of the United States to pop stars in town for concerts.

Loews Le Concorde Hotel Quebec City Cons
There’s not much to gripe about Loews Le Concorde Hotel in Quebec City. However, despite the fantastic view, none of the rooms offer a balcony. Another drawback is the lack of a snack bar for a quick bite, though being this close to the restaurants on the Grand Allee tends to make up for this incidental detail. Another drawback for those who like to have a refreshing swim is that the swimming pool is only open during the summer months.
