Perfect Family Weekend at a Cozy, Rustic Fairmont
TravellingMamaYYZ (Toronto, Canada) on Nov 28, 2025
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Fairmont Le Château Montebello. The property has a bit of an older, rustic charm, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. The service was top-notch from start to finish. We visited for a weekend family getaway, and there were plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained—even on a gloomy November weekend. The curling lesson was a fantastic touch that both the kids and adults enjoyed, and our curling instructor was friendly and helpful. We also took advantage of the indoor tennis courts and swimming pool, and we never ran out of things to do. A big bonus is that the hotel is pet-friendly, and our dog loved exploring the beautiful trails and waterfront. The Christmas decorations and fireplaces in the lobby were also absolutely lovely, creating a warm, cozy, festive atmosphere that made the whole stay feel magical. A special shout-out to Jeanne at reception. She was incredibly thoughtful, remembered my name and details, and made me feel genuinely welcome. As a Diamond member, I truly appreciated the added touches. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety, and we had dinner every night at the hotel’s main restaurant, Aux Chantignoles. The food quality was consistently great, and the cozy dining atmosphere fit perfectly with the rustic charm of the property. While the rooms do have an older design, we actually enjoyed the rustic feel. The bathrooms have been renovated, everything was clean, and the housekeeping staff were very friendly—especially toward our dog, which we appreciated. Also, don’t miss Parc Omega nearby. It’s absolutely a must-do! We had a great experience and saw so many animals making it a highlight of the trip. Overall, it was a memorable and lovely stay, and we will definitely be back!
A Beloved Tradition That’s Starting to Decline

We've (big family group of 10) been visiting Château Montebello every year for over 15 years and have always loved our stays. Unfortunately, our most recent visits have felt increasingly underwhelming. The lodge is still beautiful, but it’s beginning to feel seriously outdated. The rooms look like they haven’t changed since the early 2000s—we’ve literally had the same furniture since our first stay. The bathrooms also feel very old and in need of renovation. On top of that, a lot of the building is showing wear: the “temporary” gym feels like an old storage room with a few machines, the paint is peeling, and the carpets are noticeably stained. There also isn’t nearly enough seating in the lobby, which makes it hard to relax during peak times. And while we love children, we travel as a large family ourselves ( 3 generations and 4 young-ish children) —there seem to be little to no rules around noise. Kids were screaming in the hallways at all hours of the night, and nothing was done about it. The pool has always been our highlight, but this year the edges were covered in slime, which was really disappointing. Food-wise, prices are extremely high, and both restaurants offer strange combinations that seem designed to justify the cost (ex., rose petal tartar sauce for 40$ fish and chips...). The breakfast buffet, however, is fantastic—very fresh and varied. Just keep in mind that if you want anything other than the basic, tasteless poured coffee, you’ll be paying extra. Most of the staff are wonderful and genuinely go above and beyond, especially if you’re friendly. Overall, though, the experience no longer matches the hefty price tag, and we really hope to see some updates and improvements soon.
