Reach for the sky

Reach for the 
best life has 
to offer!

Awarded one key in the Michelin guide, the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, a hotel on the grounds of the Hôtel-Casino de Charlevoix, promises a singular stay enhanced by the history to be found in the castle-like stone walls, and in the amazing view on the emerald waters of the St. Lawrence River. Singular also, thanks to the wide array of experiences on offer in facilities that, from its inauguration at the close of the Victorian era, through to the present day, have allowed this resort to remain a place of dreamy amusements! 

Dream of reconnecting to oneself, to time that, strangely, seems to slow down in the hot, steam-filled water of an outdoor pool in the dead of winter, under the skilled hands of a massage therapist at the Moment Spa, or in a wood- and eucalyptus-scented barrel sauna… Touch genuine relaxation that slows life right down, immediately!
Dream of indolence, of lounging in bed without a care, of taking a bubble bath while gazing at the river, of reading a book in the sunshine of the solarium, of a plate of patisserie at tea time, of lingering over an apéritif on the terrace… In short, dream of reaching the ultimate luxury of peaceful headspace, of time for yourself.

Dream of rediscovering the kid in you, too: the one that laughs genuinely and loves a good time because, though relaxation is seductive, it's far from being the only thing on offer at the Hôtel-Casino de Charlevoix resort. A panoramic golf course that's over 100 years old, and its Petit Golf mini-golf course, rental of electric snowmobiles or of quad bikes with kilometres of trails to explore, a zipline from the roof and an overhead course, the Via Ferrata, so you can push your limits, comedy shows, and a fairground atmosphere when the season's right, a food truck, campfire, DJ, ice rink, and electric evenings at the Casino de Charlevoix's Bar Le 21: an escape to pleasure is at your fingertips in this massive playground set into the side of Charlevoix's mountains! 
And, no word of a lie, at the Hôtel-Casino de Charlevoix resort, you can reach the sky! Reach a euphoric state of wellbeing, different according to the occasion, according to one's desires. Groups, families, friends, couples getaways, major life events, or a simple weekend outing: the attentive welcome featured at the Manoir for more than 125 years is still provided and, these days, takes shape in the hyper-customization of guests' stays. 

The commitment to building something that has a positive impact on the community is central to the actions of the teams led by Messrs. Emmanuel Perot (Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu) and Pierre Maltais (Casino de Charlevoix), the Chief Executive Officers of the Hôtel-Casino de Charlevoix, with the clear goal of being recognized as the largest playground and wellness area in the province! Accordingly, philanthropic initiatives proliferate, from the Grand Marché en Rose, an epicurean event for the benefit of the Fondation cancer du sein du Québec [Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation], to the Arbres de l’Espoir [Trees of Hope] event with its illuminated trees in the Grand Hall entrance in November, and the Tombe à l’Eau summertime fundraiser to benefit local foodbanks; all of these activities show a commitment to the community. And, besides the social impact, for such a large resort located in the Charlevoix Biosphere Region, the environmental impact must also be taken into account. A feature for which the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu was congratulated recently, having been awarded the Biosphere Sustainable certification.

Taste the sky! 
…And the flavours 
of Charlevoix.

An entire world is hidden behind the heavy doors leading into the kitchens of the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu! Chocolatiers, pastry chefs, master sauce makers: the huge kitchen brigade pulls out all the stops to dazzle the tastebuds of those who sit at the tables in the dining rooms at the Hôtel-Casino de Charlevoix resort. On the menu? The abundance of Charlevoix's terroir because at this venue, we use the local products with finesse and respect, at all hours of the day... 
From the generous morning buffet to the noon meal on the sun-filled Bellerive terrace. To a warm latté at the Bellerive café, an evening dinner on the St. Lawrence watching the colours of the sky fade at the end of the day, or a meal in the electrifying ambiance of St.-Hubert, the promise remains the same: impeccable flavours in the ambiance of your choice. For Chef Annerose and his team, this hotel is a creative playground: from operating a food truck to creating a banquet, to seasonal pleasures like Easter chocolates, there's room for his creativity to breathe!

This idea of ground fertile enough to imagine the dreamiest of scenes, to stage moments of magic, spreads among the very large family formed by the team at the Hôtel-Casino de Charlevoix resort. At the end of the year, one might see a scene in front of a fireplace hinting that Santa Claus himself may have stopped here to eat a few cookies. While, in wintertime one skates on the ice rink beside the hotel and the river, in the summer evenings one lingers to marvel at the colours between river and sky and one can enjoy well-known songs sung around a campfire… At the very end of winter, when the white carpet of snow remains, but the sun’s rays warm the air, a mini sugar shack calls to mind the sugaring off season… We told you so: that here, you'd find relaxation, indulgences, and fun… You may even see your dreams come true!
