3-star hotels in Rimouski
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels and inns in Rimouski, from the town centre to the shores of Parc national du Bic. It is for travellers who want a simple base for the maritime historic sites, the river and the surrounding parks, whether on a short break, a family trip or a stopover on the south shore.
Staying in Rimouski
Rimouski sits on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River and is known for its maritime heritage, above all the Pointe-au-Père Maritime Historic Site and its lighthouse, and as the gateway to Parc national du Bic. The city is also a regional centre for education and research, and the waterfront and marina are popular with visitors. Downtown is compact and walkable, with restaurants and shops within a few blocks, while the wider region rewards a car. The hotels on this shortlist are spread across that setting. Hôtel l'Empress and Auberge Internationale Espace Globetrotter are close to the centre, 1.5 km and 0.1 km from it, on Montée Industrielle et Commerciale and Rue St Germain Est. Auberge de l'Évêché sits on Rue De L'Évêché Ouest, 1.3 km out. Couples, families and motorists will all find something here; the quietest stays suit nature lovers, the central ones suit a short city break.
