The hotel

All the finer things in life come together at Fairmont Le Château Montebello, a showstopper of a hotel in postcard-worthy Montebello Village. It gives you a flavour of Québec’s ‘great outdoors’, with its lakeside setting between Ottawa and Montreal; its Canadian lodge styling; and the fresh air fun in its activity collection, featuring hiking, dogsledding and snowmobiling. It may be the world’s largest log cabin — complete with chalet-inspired deluxe rooms — but its rustic outdoorsy spirit is perfectly matched by VIP extras, that are more ‘luxury’ than ‘lodge’. It’s got all the essentials five star fans expect: an 18-hole golf course, a swanky al fresco pool terrace, a series of high-end dining and drinking venues, and a health club and spa looking out over the marina, river, and forest.

First of all, the place reveals dramatic architecture - very large traditional type wood structures. Secondly, five star service all the way, and fully bilingual. I had trouble with a room, and it was taken care of with full satisfaction. We had one of the best meals of our lives in the main restaurant, but you'll pay for it. They arrange some fun… Read more
First of all, the place reveals dramatic architecture - very large traditional type wood structures. Secondly, five star service all the way, and fully bilingual. I had trouble with a room, and it was taken care of with full satisfaction. We had one of the best meals of our lives in the main restaurant, but you'll pay for it. They arrange some fun activities which if you are on a certain package are free. Look for Groupon deals as there are some excellent ones sometimes. I particularly enjoyed bicycling along the trails and walking along the river, as well as looking at the local marina with some huge yachts. My biggest complaint was the movie about the hotel which ran continuously in the lobby. It showed only Caucasian people enjoying themselves. I don't think that is acceptable in a diverse society such as Canada. I gave three stars for the rooms, but only because of the cost of the hotel. They were more than adequate. Read less

I have been there twice now, and it is a superb facility. A historic log-constructed set of buildings, this waterfront resort on the Ottawa River has everything you could want for activities from tennis to swimming, biking, kayaking, and more. The rooms are elegant, well appointed, and extremely clean and comfortable (great beds) and the staff is attentive but not obtrusive. Marvelous lobby with central fireplaces big enough to walk into, some excellent boutiques for gifts and clothes, and outstanding cuisine in the restaurants; the buffets are excellent for both breakfast and lunch, but the dinner menu and it's execution, and the wine list are some of the best around. I am not a resort person, but this is one place I will go back to on a getaway vacation; ask for the basic room upgrade to a room at the end of a hall (for very little money), you will not be disappointed!

Montebello is a location I have been to a number of times. Fairmont locations are some of the most breath taking in Canada. On the River about 1.5 hours from either Montreal of Ottawa it is just a beautiful setting. Old style building with updated service and accommodation levels. Leaves were just starting to change and so the colours were beautiful but mother nature cooperated and gave us warm weather. Really really nice. Read less

Whilst staying with our friends in San Lazaire they took us to lunch in this magical place. The main reception area was awe inspiring. We have never seen anything like it before. Lunch was good, service Ok but not special. Some areas of the hotel looked a bit as though they needed attention.
