Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu

Le Manoir Richelieu

A Château Above the St. Lawrence

Rising from the clifftops of La Malbaie since 1899, Le Manoir Richelieu is one of Canada's great château hotels — a castle of grey stone, copper turrets, and terraced gardens that cascade toward the river. For more than a century it has welcomed those who believe that travel itself should be an event.

Fairmont's stewardship has preserved every flourish of the original architecture while adding the full comfort of a world-class resort. Pools, spa, golf, and some of the finest dining in Québec — all commanding views that stretch sixty kilometres across the river to the distant Laurentian shore.

The Legend

The Manoir, As the Elves See It

For one weekend in May, the château slips into legend. Look again at the copper turrets and you may glimpse banners in the mist — the halls dressed for a feast out of an older world.
