Holiday Inn Express and Suites Tremblant is a chain hotel in the Mont-Tremblant area, and it fills a useful gap between the luxury resorts of the pedestrian village and the small inns and bed and breakfasts around the lakes. The Holiday Inn Express format is built around simple, comfortable rooms, suites for families and groups, and a no-surprises approach, which is why it appeals to travellers who spend most of the day on the mountain, on the trails or on the lakes and want a reliable room at the end of it. Exactly what is included, from breakfast to parking to the pool, changes from season to season, so check when you book. Winter and holiday weeks sell out first, and summer and autumn rates are usually lower.
Location and getting around
Mont-Tremblant is spread out. The pedestrian village at the base of the mountain holds the gondola, the shops and the resort hotels, while the town, the lakes and the highway are a short drive away. A hotel outside the pedestrian village normally means you will drive or take a shuttle to the lifts, the village, the beaches and the trailheads, so ask about the ski shuttle, parking and distance to the village before you reserve.
La Macaza-Mont Tremblant International Airport is about a 50-minute drive, and most guests arrive by car from Montreal, so plan on winter tires and snow conditions between December and March.
The rooms and the feel
Expect a modern, practical chain hotel with standard rooms and suites rather than a lodge or a spa resort. Suites can be a good answer for a family or a group of friends sharing a trip, but bed layouts, kitchen facilities, breakfast, pool or hot tub access, pet rules and parking fees differ and change, so read the details of the room you choose and check when you book. Because the hotel is not on the slopes, rates are typically lower than at ski-in and ski-out properties, and that saving can cover lift tickets, a spa visit or a dinner in the village.
Who it suits and what to know: families and groups who want a straightforward room, drivers who like easy parking, and travellers who want a chain they know will all find it practical. It is less suited to anyone who wants to step out onto the slopes, wander the pedestrian village after dinner or stay in a lakeside lodge.
In ski season, book early for weekends and school holidays, and compare cancellation terms before you pay. In summer, ask about distance to the beaches, the Petit Train du Nord linear park and the golf courses, because a car or bike makes the area much easier to enjoy.

Good questions
