Item Description

Rustic Charm in the World's Largest Log Cabin in Quebec, Canada for Five Days & Four Nights at The Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello for Two, Including a $300 Fairmont Gift Card Toward Skiing, Golf, Spa or Dining (Land Only)

 

For over 90 years, Fairmont Le Château Montebello has been known for its charm, unique architecture and beautiful natural surroundings, including forests, lakes, woods and meadows dotted with cheery farmhouses and quaint villages. Described as the true Canadian experience, the world's largest log cabin is a welcoming resort destination with more than 40 unique activities and experiences available on-site - no wonder it was named one of the top ten resorts in Canada in 2022 by Travel & Leisure! A Bucket List destination in itself, the exclusive Fairmont Le Château Montebello is quiet, private and peaceful, and manages to feel both grand and cozy at the same time.

Set on 300 bucolic acres overlooking the Ottawa River, Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello is a quintessential Canadian resort. Soak in the 90 years of history at this former Canadian Pacific Railway hotel and private club, and take advantage of dozens of guest activities year-round, from curling to tube sliding and ice skating in winter, and kayaking, badminton, and horseshoes in summer. In true resort style, everything is right here. Lounge by the largest indoor hotel pool in Canada, luxuriate at the spa, and sip white martinis in the château's magnificent 1930s lodge by the towering three-story stone fireplace, the iconic centerpiece of the biggest log cabin ever built. Each of the hotel guest rooms celebrate the local aesthetic that exudes an evolution of Quebecois life and display an elegant rustic yet contemporary decor with residential comforts and amenities – making guests feel at home and at peace with their surroundings.

You'll find a plethora of activities in all seasons on this 300-acre Canadian wilderness! Known for its fascinating past, Fairmont Le Château Montebello Golf Course winds tightly through graceful forests and features dramatic elevation changes – captivating the imagination of golfers from all over the world. Designed by Stanley Thompson in 1931, some of its elevated tees provide lovely views of the gentle rolls of the surrounding mountains. Unlike most new layouts today, each hole at this course seems secluded, providing that lovely closed-in feeling, like your group is the only one playing. Come winter, you can make this log cabin into your base camp! With 15 km of perfectly groomed cross-country skiing trails and nearby slopes, such as the iconic Mont Tremblant, Montebello is undeniably an ideal winter destination! You can find wellness in the heart of nature year-round at Spa Fairmont Le Château Montebello. This warm and comfortable sanctuary is the ideal place to restore your own balance.

Just a short stroll away from the resort, Montebello is a main-street-style Quebecois town dating back to the 1800s. With more cows than residents, this sleepy village exudes authentic French-Canadian charm. Browse the boutiques, dine at a sidewalk café, try some microbrew beer, taste craft chocolate and sample the province's celebrated artisan cheese at a local fromagerie. Nature is all around us in the Outaouais, a region between Montreal and Ottawa known for its rugged beauty. Wild and rural, and truly spectacular come autumn with the fiery changing leaves reflecting on placid lakes, this area is all about outdoor adventures of all kinds. Watch bison and bears roam on a wildlife safari at Parc Omega. Take a boat trip along Canada's second-largest waterway, the Ottawa River, or motor along a scenic self-tour to artisan distilleries, family farmsteads, a mom ‘n pop fromagerie with tempting cheeses and boutique wineries.

5 days/4 nights accommodations at The Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello
Daily complimentary breakfast
(1) $300 Fairmont Gift Card toward skiing, golf, spa or dining
