Blend of Old World Charm and Modern Luxury
Hidden away in 30 acres of English gardens and serene woodland on the shores of Lake Massawippi, Manoir Hovey offers an idyllic base from which to explore the charms of south-eastern Quebec.
Located near the tiny village of North Hatley just outside Montreal, this family-run Relais & Chateaux property promises the perfect blend of old world charm and contemporary luxury. It was originally built in 1900, modelled after George Washington’s Mount Vernon home with huge wraparound verandas and white pillars. Oozing countryside elegance, most of the 36 rooms and suites enjoy panoramic lake views, as well as little luxuries like Nespresso coffee machines and L’Occintane amenities.
Surrounded by expansive grounds and gardens, the hotel presides over 600 meters of prime lakeshore on Lake Massawippi. In this enchanting setting, a stay is all about soaking up the fresh air and relaxing amidst bucolic surroundings. Kayaks, canoes, bikes and paddle boats are at your disposal, with a tennis court and heated outdoor pool also available. Both the award-winning Le Hatley Restaurant and more casual Le Tap Room offer menus that showcase the best of on seasonal, locally sourced and foraged ingredients.

The service we received from 91ºÚÁÏÍø was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
