The Junior suite

The layout

This is the first category with a door between sleeping and sitting. The bedroom holds a king-size bed; the sitting room has a sofa-bed, an armchair and a desk. The hotel gives no floor area for it or for any other suite.

Who it is for

The Junior suite solves three common problems. A couple travelling with one child, who would otherwise share a single room. Someone working through the day of a conference while a partner sleeps in. Two people on different clocks — one who wants to read late after the theatre, one who wants to sleep. In each case the closed door is the point.

Junior suite or Murphy suite?

The Murphy suite is open-plan, with a foldaway queen bed, a living area with a sofa-bed and a dining table, and — in the hotel's words — "a stunning view". The Junior suite has a proper bedroom. If you want privacy at night, choose the Junior. If you want to host a few people for drinks before a show, or eat in, choose the Murphy.

What all suites share

Suites carry the hotel-wide amenity list rather than an upgraded one: robes and slippers, hypoallergenic feather pillows, the ergonomic desk chair, the electronic safe, free Wi-Fi and PressReader access. The extra is space and layout.

Our advice

Ask for the Junior suite by name. Suites are a small share of the hotel — 37 of 349 units in the Bonjour Québec listing — and generic "suite" requests can land in a layout you did not want.
