Canada may be a relatively young country—it was founded only in 1867—but its best city hotels exude old-world charm. It’s no wonder, then, that 7 out of 10 of readers’ favorite urban stays are in Quebec, one of the nation’s original provinces, where French architecture and UNESCO World Heritage sites make for a thoroughly transportive getaway. Take this year’s No. 1, Auberge Saint-Antoine, spread across a series of Colonial-era warehouses in Quebec City’s Old Port, with an exceptionally rustic restaurant focus on local flavors. It’s not far from Hotel 71, whose sleek lobby contrasts dramatically with the centuries-old cobblestones out back. The showstopper here, however, has always been the Revivalist-style Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, designed in the late 1800s to mimic the manors of the Loire Valley. South in Montreal, Hôtel Place d’Armes, Hotel Nelligan, Auberge du Vieux-Port, and Hotel William Gray are all situated in the city’s historic Vieux-Port and feature rooftop terraces where the views stretch to that most timeless feature of all—the mighty St. Lawrence River.

The Slow Road - Rather than rush from Tokyo to Kyoto by train, as most visitors to Japan do, Tom Vanderbilt chose to bike - coasting down country roads, spying snow monkeys, and refueling with hearty bowls of soba
Rather than rush from Tokyo to Kyoto by train, as most visitors to Japan do, Tom Vanderbilt chose to bike - coasting down country roads, spying snow monkeys, and refueling with hearty bowls of soba. At the peak of the day's heat, I pulled into the tiny hamlet of Hirase, in Japan's Gifu Prefecture. I'd just climbed a twisting, waterfall-lined road several thousand feet through Hakusan National Park before descending into the shimmering fantasy landscape of Shirakawa-go, an almost Tolkien-esque village (and UNESCO World Heritage Site) comprising centuries-old farmhouses with peaked thatch roofs.
