A magical winter at Le Capitole
German Christmas Market
The German Christmas Market, from November 23 to December 23, is a must, year after year. Local producers and artisans come together to offer their vast choice of products. You will find them at five different locations in Old Quebec, all close to Le Capitole Hôtel. It’s a great way to get into the holiday spirit! There will also be a puppet theatre on site for both the young and the young at heart to enjoy.
Shows and concerts
Let the magic of Christmas carols enchant you! Holiday programming only comes once a year! See “À votre Party” at the Théâtre Capitole. At the Grand Théâtre enjoy a wide range of shows from comedy to orchestra. The Palais Montcalm also offers a selection of sensational shows for the holidays.
Exhibitions
You have a free afternoon, but it’s too cold outside? Le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and the Musée de la civilisation are easily accessible from Le Capitole Hôtel. These are a few great ideas for outings, whether with your family, significant other or friends. Then end your day in style with a delicious meal and enjoy a quiet glass of wine at Il Teatro!
Outdoor activities
Make the most of less frigid weather to go skating at the d’Youville rink and enjoy the Christmas lights. Le petit Champlain is also a must for a special stroll to see beautiful Christmas decorations and interesting local shops. Throughout Old Quebec you will find warming stations with fireplaces and chairs when you can pause and enjoy the magical atmosphere. Equipment rental is available.
Not very comfortable on skates? Opt for a walk on the beautifully decorated streets close to the hotel:
- Rue du Petit-Champlain and Place-Royale
- Place de l’Hôtel-de-Ville
- Place D’Youville
- Grande Allée
- Avenue Cartier
- Fairmont Le Château Frontenac
- Place Jean-Béliveau
Clubby bar
After a long stroll, come relax and have a drink at the Clubby bar. Its welcoming fireplace is the perfect backdrop for romantic tête-à-têtes.
