Trip Highlights
Fairmont Le Château Montebello
The Fairmont Le Château Montebello or simply Château Montebello is a hotel and resort complex in Montebello, Quebec. The resort is located on 65,000 acres of forested wildlife sanctuary on the shore of the Ottawa River, between Ottawa and Montreal. It is known as the largest hotel in the world built from wooden logs.
The hotel is on one of the last surviving land grants made by 17th-century French kings to early settlers of New France. An army of 3,500 labourers ensured that the project could reach completion in only four months. Among countless conferences, the Chateau was host to the G7 summit in 1981 and the NATO summit in 1983.

The centerpiece is a hexagonal rotunda, containing a six-sided stone fireplace that rises more than 20 metres (66 feet) to the roof and soaring rafters featuring logs 18 metres (60 ft) long. The buildings contain 10,000 logs shipped from BC, 500,000 hand-slit cedar roof shakes and 166 km of wooden moulding. When Margaret Thatcher first saw Château Montebello, she was reported to have observed that it must be the world's largest "log cabin,". Today the hotel's amenities encompass an indoor and outdoor pool, an 18-hole golf course and 26 kilometres of cross-country ski trails.
Wine & Cheese Tasting Experience
|
Since Quebec is famous for it's cheese, it seemed only natural to enjoy a wine tasting with a unique cheese pairing so on our way to Montreal, we will be visiting a small family owned organic winery where you will taste a few wines and then select the one you prefer to enjoy with your Quebecois cheese experience.
