Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu is the splurge choice in Charlevoix and the best-known address on the La Malbaie shore. It stands beside the Casino de Charlevoix, which the hotel's own site calls right next door, and its site links a spa, a golf section, pools, a fitness and sports section and a menu of restaurants, bars and breakfast, with Le Saint-Laurent restaurant named in one of its dining packages. The hotel is in La Malbaie and carries a four-and-a-half-star class in its booking details. The hotel runs offers all year round, and its winter programme is substantial: a Winter Fun package with up to 25 percent off and a daily activity credit for snowmobiling and dog sledding, booked by 31 March 2027, plus a snowmobile package from 15 October 2026 and a holiday package booked by 3 January 2027.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in La Malbaie, on the Charlevoix coast, and the Casino de Charlevoix, the Petit Manoir du Casino and the coast road are all close at hand. You will want a car, because the Hautes-Gorges park, Isle-aux-Coudres and Baie-Sainte-Catherine are drives rather than walks. The ski hill of Mont Grand-Fonds is described on the hotel's own offers page as just 20 minutes away, and the hotel sells a ski package built around it.
The rooms and the feel
The hotel's site links a full room section, though it gives no room count on the offers page, so check the type you want when you book. The resort side is the draw, with the spa, the pools, the fitness area and the golf all on the property, and Le Saint-Laurent as the named restaurant. In winter the packages add credits for activities such as snowmobiling and dog sledding, which suits couples and groups who want a ready-made weekend.
Who it suits and what to know: choose the Fairmont for a celebration, a spa weekend or a base with the casino next door. The offers page does not state opening dates or any renovation, but it advertises packages valid to March 2027, so winter stays are on sale. Rates change a lot by season, so compare dates, and ask what parking and breakfast cost, since neither is detailed on the page.
