La vie en blu…Québecois style

Noteable for its playful atmosphere, eclectic interior design and whimsical experiences, Monsieur Jean -Hotel Particulier is one of the newer entries into the Québec City hospitality marketplace. 

Not to be missed, Monsieur Jean’s vibrant blue entranceway is front and centre on the strikingly prominent corner of Rue Saint Jean and rue Pierre-Olivier-Chauveau.

Said to be built in the image of its founder, real-estate developer Jean Campeau, a master in the art of hosting and living well the exciting seven storey, seventy-seven guest room hotel is a riot of impressively authentic textures and colours. 

Blending bold and beautiful

Bold mascot emblazoned navy striped chairs and soft linens, funky art, king size beds and discreet kitchenettes in every suite have become known as Monsieur’s lavish trademarks. All rooms have Italian showers, and big-view windows and some even boast terraces with outdoor firepits and snuggle-up-able winter blankets.

From board games to books, the elegant art-filled lobby with its Parissiene concierge Sandrine Camus forever at your service, oversized fireplace and comfortable chairs welcomes guests with a fun-filled vibe. To the right, past more bluesy artwork the curious amongst us, discover the hotel’s newest addition, Le Bijou.

Restoration-ally delightful

A sophisticated speakeasy style restaurant, Le Bijou serves up swanky cocktails and light tapas style bites to the sounds of a jazz trio in the pm. Here tourists, hotel guests, happy couples and local groups of friends and family connect to savour the refined menu that offers small plates of everything from oysters to caviar. Our favourites: the avocado tartlet, tuna on crispy rice, carpaccio de boeuf and of course, a delightful sampling of local cheeses. In the morning, Bijou serves up a European breakfast buffet that can be savoured at leisure. On a sunny day with the open picture windows — there’s no finer place to be.

An intimate, unusual space  

And, as a testament to its grace, personalized service and unique atmosphere, Monsieur Jean is one of the 620 Small Luxury Hotels of the World so you’ll be right at home if you’re a brand aficionado.
