Just east of Quebec City, our No. 9 pick is one of the region’s most eco-friendly accommodations. At first we were skeptical of Hotel Tadoussac’s green agenda, but when you’ve stumbled upon a location at the mouth of the Saguenay Fjord and overlooking one of the world’s most beautiful bays, you’re right to be a bit protective.

This Quebec luxury resort is literally a stone’s throw from the sea, but why waste time tossing pebbles when you could be partaking in its bounty? Tadoussac is a small town steeped in history and big on preserving the local scenery, which accounts for the excellent whale watching and other ecotourism-related pursuits offered in its old village. Experience the difference even a small Quebec town can make when it chooses to celebrate its surroundings, rather than conquer them. From the humpback, beluga and other gentle giants that inhabit Tadoussac Bay to the windswept dunes that surround it, this is a vacation that is truly untamed. Here on Tadoussac Bay, emerald lawns stretch out along the gently sloping shores, while rugged mountains reach for the clouds that dot a clear blue sky. Add Hotel Tadoussac’s gleaming red roof, pristine white siding and forest green shutters to the mix and you’ve got a Quebec luxury hotel that’s as pretty as a postcard – and infinitely more enjoyable when stayed in during your Canada vacation!

Address

165 Rue Bord de l’Eau, Tadoussac, Quebec, Canada

With its boutique experience inspired by Old World estates, our No. 3 pick brings big city luxury to the tiny Canadian village of Tremblant. Throw in its exclusive spa, exquisite dining and inviting suites and we think you’ll agree that Hotel Quintessence was made for Quebec romantic getaways!

Mastering a foreign language is no easy task, but knowing even a few French phrases proves useful at our No. 3 pick. For instance, “sur le lac” may not sound like much, but it roughly translates to waterfront retreat – a fitting name for a dwelling that occupies the meeting place of the Laurentian Mountains and Lake Tremblant. As for the accommodations themselves, this Quebec luxury hotel is named for the fifth element, said to represent purity of spirit – and in Hotel Quintessence’s case, purity of the surrounding Mont-Tremblant scenery! With king-size beds and wood-burning fireplaces in each of its 30 luxury suites, Hotel Quintessence has all the styling of an authentic mountain lodge. Many of these Quebec accommodations face Tremblant Lake, while an outdoor infinity pool brings you even closer to the water’s edge. In warmer months, the hotel’s rare Laylare Launch, circa 1910, lets you cruise the lake’s glassy surface in vintage style!

Conveniently located at the halfway point between downtown Mont-Tremblant and Tremblant resort, Le Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant captures the best of both Quebec landmarks.

Skiing the Mont-Tremblant slopes and perusing downtown boutiques are just a few nearby offerings, while Le Grand Lodge’s idyllic location poised on Lake Ouimet’s shores is as conducive to days spent lounging on soft sands as it is to watersports or ice skating! Le Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant is so much more its location. This lakeside resort and conference center boasts authentic Scandinavian influences in everything from its award-winning spa to its guestrooms and suites.

Our No. 3 spot is one of eastern Canada’s leading destinations – and with good reason. At Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello, indulgent interiors bedecked with natural stone fireplaces and exposed log beams blend seamlessly with magnificent Quebec scenery, including the meandering waters of the Ottawa River.

Tucked deep into the Quebec wilderness, Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello is truly an escape from the everyday.
