Wellness Retreat Packages at a Former Quebec City Monastery

The building is the former Hôtel-Dieu de Québec hospital, and the Augustinian Sisters' heritage is the thread running through the whole stay — the museum, the archives, the restored spaces. Guests sleep on site and eat at Le Vivoir, the on-site restaurant, where breakfast is taken in silence as standard across the packages.

What separates one package from another is mostly what gets added on top of the room and meals. Discovery and Balance is the entry point for anyone who wants the movement and wellness activities included. Serenity swaps those for a 60-minute massage therapy treatment. Relaxation and Spa adds one admission per person to the thermal experience at Strøm spa nordique Vieux-Québec, and Foodie and Spa adds an evening meal at Le Vivoir on top of that.

The two-night Wellness Experience package includes a 90-minute global health consultation and a 60-minute massage. The Tranquility Pro Sleep Retreat, also two nights, is built around sleep: a 60-minute Tranquility Pro Sleep Massage Ritual, a 30-minute NeuroBed session and a 75-minute private sleep meditation and breathing session, with six healthy meals across the stay.

The Renewal packages run three or five nights. Three nights gets you all meals at Le Vivoir, a 60-minute private session with a well-being coach, a 90-minute Signature massage and a 90-minute holistic health consultation. Five nights doubles the coaching sessions and adds a 60-minute massage therapy treatment on top of the Signature massage and the consultation.

Single and double occupancy rates are quoted separately for every package, and the site is set up for solo guests — individual retreats, silent or not — as much as for couples.
