Hotels Near Québec City Jean Lesage Airport
Only a few hotels on this page are truly close to Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport, so I will be direct about which ones serve an early flight. Hôtel Cofortel is a five-minute drive from the terminal and includes breakfast, the Econo Lodge Airport Quebec sits in Sainte-Foy with a free hot breakfast, and Hôtel Alt Québec is about fifteen minutes away with free parking. Other listings tagged airport are actually in Old Québec, Beauport or the city centre, a longer drive from the runway, which suits travellers who would rather spend their last evening on the old streets than beside the airport.
Québec City is the French-speaking capital of the province, with a walled old town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Château Frontenac above the St. Lawrence River and narrow streets that fill with visitors in summer and during the Winter Carnival. Beyond the walls, Sainte-Foy and the western suburbs are quieter and practical, built around Université Laval, shopping centres and the roads to the airport.
Airport Nights, Sainte-Foy and Old Québec
Staying near the airport makes sense for a dawn departure or a late arrival, when the drive into Old Québec adds time you do not have. The airport sits on the western side of the city, close to Sainte-Foy and the Laurier Québec shopping area, so the nearest hotels are in that western belt rather than inside the walls. If your flight leaves around midday, I would rather sleep in the old city and take a taxi in the morning.
For an early flight, Hôtel Cofortel is the most practical choice in this list. It sits a five-minute drive from Jean Lesage International Airport and about fifteen minutes from the city centre, includes a complimentary breakfast, and has a fitness centre and free WiFi. Rooms are spacious, with a small fridge, a coffee machine and a flat-screen TV, which helps when you arrive late and leave before sunrise. It also has by far the largest number of guest reviews on this page, with a strong score, so its record with travellers catching a flight is well documented.
Two more hotels sit on the western side of the city. The Econo Lodge Airport Quebec is in Sainte-Foy, with convenient access to the airport, air-conditioned rooms with a work desk and a free hot breakfast; its guest score is more modest, so I see it as a budget option for a single night. Hôtel Alt Québec, about fifteen minutes from the airport, is the more design-minded pick, with original artwork in the rooms, deluxe bedding, cotton bathrobes, the Le Bistango restaurant on site and free parking, which matters if you are returning a rental car.
If you have one free evening before flying, the old city is worth the longer drive. Hotel Manoir Morgan is steps from the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, with a restaurant, a bar and a terrace, and Monsieur Jean - Hôtel Particulier, close to the Morrin Centre and the Notre-Dame de Québec basilica-cathedral, carries the highest guest score on this page and offers kitchenettes. La Maison Kent - Par Aneyro and Les Lofts Ste-Anne provide apartment-style rooms with kitchens near the Château Frontenac. None of these is near the airport, so plan a taxi or a car for the next morning.
Drivers heading in or out of the region have two pool hotels to consider. The Courtyard by Marriott Quebec City, in the Les Rivières district, has an indoor pool, a fitness centre and spa facilities, a reasonable compromise for drivers who want a pool outside the old town. The Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Québec - Beauport, on the eastern side of the city, offers a saltwater indoor pool, family rooms and a continental breakfast, and it accepts pets. It suits a road trip toward Montmorency Falls or Charlevoix much better than an early flight from Jean Lesage.
A traveler's takeFor a flight before nine in the morning, I would book Hôtel Cofortel without hesitation: five minutes from the terminal, breakfast included and thousands of guest reviews behind it. If I had a whole evening, I would choose Monsieur Jean - Hôtel Particulier in the old city and accept the longer drive the next morning. The Econo Lodge in Sainte-Foy is my fallback when budget comes first.

A romantic restaurant, a bar and a terrace are on site, which suits adults more than young children.

Why guests love itA two-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, a garden and a terrace gives a family room to spread out steps from Old Quebec, and a washing machine helps on a longer trip. The apartment is air-conditioned with free Wi-Fi. Major landmarks are a short walk away, which keeps small legs and strollers practical. It is an apartment, so there is no front desk, pool or breakfast.
4.4Hôtel Cofortel
Airport · 4074 reviewsConveniently located near the airport with a fitness centre and free breakfast
Why guests love itHôtel Cofortel sits a five-minute drive from Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport, which makes it a calm first or last night for families flying in or out.

4.4Courtyard by Marriott Quebec City
Airport · 689 reviewsAn indoor pool and spa facilities in Quebec City's Les Rivières district
Why guests love itI would suggest the Courtyard by Marriott Quebec City to families who prefer a calmer district with a pool. It sits in Les Rivières, away from the old town crowds, and the indoor pool gives children a reliable end to the day. Bathrooms come with bathrobes, rooms have flat-screen TVs, and a fitness centre and spa and wellness facilities are available. Old Québec is reached by car or bus, so plan transport.
3.7Econo Lodge Airport Quebec
Airport · 2148 reviewsComfortable airport stay with free hot breakfast and easy access to local attractions
Why guests love itEcono Lodge Airport Quebec is a practical choice for families with an early flight or a late arrival, as it sits in Sainte-Foy with convenient access to Quebec International Airport. The free hot breakfast gets everyone fed before setting off, and rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom and a work desk. WiFi is free. It is not a base for walking Old Quebec, so plan on driving. A 7.3/10 from more than 2,100 reviews points to basic comfort.
3.5Hotel Ermitage
Airport · 525 reviewsComfortable city-centre stay with easy access to Old Quebec
Why guests love itHotel Ermitage works best for families who plan to spend their days outdoors in Old Quebec, which starts a few steps from the door. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, and the Château Frontenac is a short walk away, so little legs are not tested too hard. There is no pool or on-site restaurant listed, so the appeal is the location rather than the facilities. A 7/10 score from more than 500 reviews points to fair, simple comfort.
Local tips
- 1Check the distance before booking: several hotels tagged airport on this page are in Old Québec or Beauport, a much longer drive.
- 2Pick Hôtel Cofortel or the Econo Lodge Airport Quebec for a dawn flight, since both include breakfast and sit on the airport side of the city.
- 3Return your rental car the evening before and stay at Hôtel Alt Québec, which offers free parking about fifteen minutes from the terminal.
- 4Use the Laurier Québec shopping area in Sainte-Foy for last-minute purchases if you stay on the western side of the city.
- 5If you choose an Old Québec hotel, book your taxi to the airport the evening before rather than looking for one at dawn.
- 6Travelling with a dog? The Hampton Inn & Suites in Beauport accepts pets, but allow extra time to cross the city to the airport.
