Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello

In Quebec, directly on the Ottawa River, sits the grand cedar structure of the Fairmont Le Château Montebello, a historic resort featuring buildings that date back to 1930. With over 10,000 red cedar logs used in the construction of the three main buildings, this resort contains the largest log cabin in the world. This log structure was originally used as the exclusive retreat of the Seigniory Club, which hosted the likes of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco. In 1970, this relaxing escape to nature was opened to the public, after which it became one of the most popular luxury resorts in Quebec and Eastern Canada. Guests have an array of destinations to visit during their stay in Quebec and the outdoor adventures that await guests are seemingly endless. Fall and spring welcome activities like squash, tennis, biking, hiking, fishing, and indoor golf. Winter allows for even more recreational activities such as hockey, broomball, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, tobogganing, tube sliding, sleigh rides, ice skating, and dog sledding. Finally, summer is perfect for croquet, canoeing, swimming, volleyball, basketball, badminton, golf, and horseshoes. Surrounding the hotel, guests can explore the Rouge River, Plaisance Falls, Parc Omega, and Kenauk Nature Reserve to experience the natural beauty of the area.
