The Royal Dalhousie was originally built to produce millstones for the flour mills throughout Quebec. As time went by, the building became Chinic Hardware and served the city’s local community. Finely restored and transformed into a hotel-suites by the Biron family, residents and businesspeople from Old Quebec since 1977, the condos have been available to accommodate tourists since 2011. The vaults that stored the documents of the businesses of yesteryear have been preserved and integrated into the décor of this historic building.
