Many visitors fly or take Via Rail to Quebec City. However, I live within easy driving distance, and finding Old Quebec City Hotels with parking in the charming and walled Old City can be difficult.
The Old City of Quebec is very small, so car access is limited. Only a few hotels have parking on their property, while most provide a valet service to nearby lots or private garages. For others, there is no parking, so you need to park in the large self-park lots. There is no free parking in the Old City. So rates listed below are subject to change.
Insider Tip: In Old Québec, once you park, you usually won’t need your car again. The historic district is extremely walkable, so you can simply use the valet service and explore on foot for your entire stay.
I will sort out the Old Quebec City Hotels with Parking options for you.

Hotel Manoir D’Auteuil – My Experience
It was easy to get to the hotel once I figured out the one-way streets. The Hotel Manoir D’Auteuil ís located near the city walls between the St. Louis & St. Jean gates. I parked in front of the hotel between the signs for arriving guests.
At the hotel reception, I was given a parking card (and map) to the Youville Garage around the corner. The card got me into the garage with in-and-out privileges.
This is a small boutique hotel with friendly staff, offering a great breakfast and in a nice location.
