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.

Room was smelly, AC did not work properly, no coffee in the room, wifi very slow, and extremely overpriced! Available activities are great, but impossible to enjoy much when staying for just one night. A longer stay would allow more time for activities, but cost is prohibitive at $600 for one night. Plus many activities are for a fee.

This was our second family trip. The first tip 5 years ago was fabulous in every way. This trip had a few negatives. 1. The buffet was horrible. I took my family to dinner our first night and it was the opposite of our experience last time we were here. We found the food to be less than satisfactory, the choice severely limited and the service to be terrible. This for a lot of money was very off putting! 2. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet it was well thought out and was able to give my family a great choices. It was at the level we expected with great food choices and excellent service! First class. 2. The paddle board service had hours that made no sense. It is calm and quiet early morning and generally busy and windy in the afternoon. The service did not open until 10am which frankly made no sense to me. Positives 1. The building and the grounds are second to none in the world. 2. The pool area looked after the girls and they loved it! 3. The walking trails and the ability to bike ride, walk along the river, paddle board were all appreciated.. 4. The private White Fish Lake for fishing is a great option that my son and I really enjoyed. 5. The rooms are nice, however the service in room was non existent on during our stay. Read less

Booked an upgraded room but was suprised to find it was below ground. Took a day to balance out the very chilly A/C. Excellent staff however, and the chef's plate/bbq was excellent as well. The location is what really makes this hotel. They just need to be a bit clearer that some rooms are below ground. Mine was also by the front entrance so it… Read more

The location and grounds were absolutely stunning. The facilities throughout the hotel were immaculate. The staff were all professional, extremely helpful and made us feel extremely welcome. The indoor pool is truly one of the best features of your resort - truly a beautiful structure. However, the room was in need of repair - peeling wallpaper, broken shower stall - for a resort of this stature this was simply not acceptable. The largest disappointment was the food - the brunch omelette was dried to the point of rubberiness and lukewarm as were the bacon and sausages. The toast was cold when served. For $75 this was beyond disappointing. The dinner - again the prices would indicate top notch cuisine - but disappointed across the board (steak tar tar arrived off colour and flavorless, soup was warm, oysters were fine but the presentation was lacking). The value for money simply is not there. In short, the absolute dismal quality of food at the restaurants is a major deterrent in either a repeat visit or our ability to recommend a stay at your resort. Read less
