Historic Railway Hotels Take New Hotel Honors in Canada

"Set amid the striking scenery of Charlevoix, I found Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu to combine classic grandeur with breathtaking vistas: built by Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company as a luxury retreat for steamship passengers around the turn of the 20th century, the hotel resembles a French château surrounded by manicured gardens, a golf course, farmsteads and charming waterfront villages. The 405 classically designed rooms and suites (all stocked with Le Labo bath products) and a state-of-the-art spa with indoor and outdoor pools make it easy to relax, while the location offers year-round outdoor activities from skiing to rock climbing and a lively casino within a short walk; across multiple dining venues, the scenery and views are what truly stand out." - The MICHELIN Guide
