Hotel et Pavillons Le Petit Manoir du Casino is a spa-minded hotel on the La Malbaie shore, described on its own site as just steps from the Charlevoix Casino. The main hotel, at 525 chemin des Falaises, holds reception and most services, while Pavilions A and B, at 75 rue des Villas, offer rooms and suites with kitchenettes. An indoor heated family pool is in Pavilion A, and outdoor hot water pools sit on Pavilion B's terrace over the St. Lawrence. The O'Quartz Spa has a waterfall, thermal pools and saunas, and there is a Zen Évasion spa for massages and a family spa on the second floor. The booking details count 190 rooms and a 3.5 class, with free parking and free WiFi, and the restaurant, Les Délices, serves family-style breakfast, lunch and dinner with a river view.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in La Malbaie, near the casino and the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, and a car is needed for the coast road, the Hautes-Gorges park and the Isle-aux-Coudres ferry. The main lot is behind the hotel off rue Richelieu, and guests in the pavilions park at 75 rue des Villas, less than a minute away by car. The hotel has electric car charging stations for guests, though not at the pavilions.
The rooms and the feel
Rooms are individually furnished according to the booking details, with air conditioning, free WiFi, a safe, a jetted tub, a refrigerator and a coffee maker, and the pavilion rooms and suites add kitchenettes, which helps families and longer stays. The spa and pools are the main draw, especially in winter, when the thermal pools and saunas are the best reason to stay in. Winter services include snowmobile parking at the front of the hotel and winter sports equipment.
Who it suits and what to know: choose it for a spa weekend near the casino at a lower price than the Fairmont, or for a family that wants a pool and a kitchenette. Cooked-to-order breakfast is shown at a surcharge, so ask what your rate includes. The minimum check-in age is 18, and check-in begins at 4 pm, with check-out before 11 am. The site does not state that the hotel is open year-round, but it describes winter services, so confirm dates for your trip.
