Summer’s top 10 unforgettable stays

Handpicked stays worth the night

I’ve personally curated a selection of exceptional accommodations—from lavish urban retreats to breathtaking nature resorts. These are the highlights you shouldn’t miss.

1. Indulge in the serene elegance of the Hôtel & Spa Le Germain Charlevoix, a MICHELIN Key-certified establishment renowned for elegance and unforgettable service located on the outskirts of picturesque Baie-Saint-Paul.
2. In the city of Québec, experience unparalleled luxury steeped in history at the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac—the most photographed hotel in the world!
3. Located on Lake Tremblant and within walking distance of the Mont-Tremblant pedestrian village, Hôtel Quintessence is an award-winning gem known for personalized service.
4. Also in the Laurentides, find a deeper connection with nature in warm luxury at the enchanting Farouche Tremblant, which features A-frame cabins, 135 acres of forest, yoga, and a nordic bath. Dogs are welcome too!
5. South of Montréal, in the bucolic Eastern Townships, Manoir Hovey | Relais & Châteaux in North Hatley offers a peaceful lakeside setting, where refined lodging meets a MICHELIN-recommended bistro for the perfect blend of gastronomy and serenity.
6. For a truly unique experience, break away from the ordinary at Flotel hébergement flottant in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Montérégie, where your accommodations are literally floating on the water.
7. The Outaouais delivers thrilling adventures of its own at Parc Oméga, a unique and unforgettable immersion in nature. By day, discover North American wildlife including elk, bison, foxes, and by night get a front-row pillow to safely watch Arctic wolves from the comfort of your chalet.
8. Spend a magical night under the stars (literally) in a sleek geodesic dome at HillHaus Dômes Pontiac, also in the Outaouais, where soft light, warm interiors and surrounding nature create an intimate setting perfect for a couple’s getaway.
9. In the Bas-Saint-Laurent, wake up to a stunning panorama of the St. Lawrence River at Les Perchoirs du Cirque in Saint-Germain-de-Kamouraska, where you’ll sleep in one-of-a-kind accommodations inspired by the acrobatic skills of a circus artists, suspended and hooked onto a rock wall or on a mountain.
10. Finally, a stay in Montréal is a must when you visit. Immerse yourself in the sophisticated charm of Old Montréal at the luxurious Hôtel Nelligan, whose buildings date back to the 1850s and have been tastefully preserved to maintain their unique stone and brick features.

In my opinion, these stays go beyond accommodation, showcasing the rich diversity of the province’s most distinctive lodging options.
