For nearly four centuries, the Augustinian Sisters cared for the sick in these stone corridors — not as a profession but as a vocation. When they handed the monastery to a new generation, they asked only that the act of healing continue. It does. Sleeping in a former cloister cell, eating in silence, walking through a museum that asks what their lives mean for yours — this is not a wellness experience. It is an encounter with something older and more serious than wellness: the question of how a human life should be lived, held by the weight of four hundred years of answered prayer.

Le Monastère (Holistic Health Hotel Canada) offers a unique holistic health experience, as well as a living connection with the Augustinian sisters’ heritage.
Reconnect with wellness in an inspiring environment in the heart of Old Quebec City, a Unesco World Heritage Site. Live an unforgettable experience within the historic walls of the Augustinian Sisters’ monastery, site of the first hospital in North America, north of Mexico. Completely restored and redesigned, Le Monastère des Augustines offers visitors a wide variety of programs in holistic health. For nearly four centuries, the Augustinian Sisters devoted themselves to caring for the sick, while laying the foundation of Canada’s modern healthcare system. Confronted to their decline in numbers, the Sisters have chosen to pass their precious heritage within their lifetime, and gave their impeccably preserved monastery of the 17th century to the public, with the wish to promote their values of caring, generosity and hospitality with the greatest number. After a 3 years restoration, Le Monastère opened to the public in August 2015 and continues to function as a place of welcome, healing and renewal through a contemporary and non-religious offer.
