Food was great but our room was still outdated despite the website indicating that the rooms have been updated. The mattress on the king size bed was aweful, really soft and bends in the middle. Fairmont hotels are overpriced.

Such a beautiful resort and staff were wonderful.. lots of activities and cant say more but the service is imprecicable.. however theree are things that just falls short.. The food was not up to par with our experience traveling around Quebec for thr past 2 decades.. we were expecting better food to be honest.The pool while it was huge and looks impressive.. the water was too cold while the hot tubs were not hot enough.

Our family loves staying here. We have had close to 20 weekend stays at "Monty" (our now adult children call it) over the past 25 years. Easter, Christmas all seasons. Special place.

We had a wonderful winter getaway experience. The breakfast was excellent, one of the best buffets we’ve ever had, and it was included in our package. There were plenty of winter activities available, including snowshoeing, which made our stay even more enjoyable. All the staff were attentive and polite, and the swimming pool was fantastic. The spa was also excellent; we enjoyed a very relaxing massage. The location and surrounding scenery are beautiful, and the lobby is truly spectacular, with its iconic hexagonal chimney and game tables for backgammon and chess, a great touch that adds to the overall experience.

Spent the night at Le Chateau Montebello. The rooms were nice but the common areas are where it really shines! Walking in, you are hit with the central fireplace, bar and resting area. The activity center has a pool, spa, fitness room and dome with various sports. Trails outside with support of rental equipment in the curling building. The restaurants in town and onsite were quite booked so we enjoyed a room service dinner as well as buffet breakfast that really lived up to the hype The only problem we had is that we spent one night here. You should really plan for a couple of nights if you want to take advantage of all of the onsite and nearby activities.

***I would like to update this to state that the front desk supervisor responded to my review and was very attentive to my concerns. He found a way to provide fair compensation and apologize for our experience. It was timely, appropriate, and very much appreciated*** I visited with my 9 year old daughter for a mother/daughter trip for 3 days in early January 2026. The fireplace was closed for chimney sweeping for the entire week - there was no warning about this upon booking and no notification prior to our stay. When I asked the manager about it, he was not empathic and said we should have received a notice, which we didn't. There is a $40/day "resort fee", yet many advertised amenities were not available during our stay - the sledding/luge was not running; we shoveled the skating rink on our own; and the curling rink only has one clinic/day more so for adults. Our room was small, had a huge wooden pole in the middle of it, hair on the bed, no mattress cover. The bathroom was decent. Food was fine; breakfast buffet was good. Overall - the hotel felt dark and cold due to the fireplace not running. It was not like the pictures. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am truly sorry for the disappointment you experienced during what was meant to be a special mother and daughter getaway. I fully understand how upsetting it is when key elements of the experience do not align with what you expected, particularly when information was not communicated as clearly as it should have been. Please accept my sincere apologies for the way you felt your concerns were handled during your stay. This is not the level of care and support we strive to provide. Your comments have been shared with the appropriate teams, as it is essential for us to review both our communication and the consistency of our guest experience, and onsite support. If you would be open to it, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your stay directly so we can ensure the proper follow up is completed.

An amazing place for a family holiday. Great location, especially with all the snow we had. The ski trails were well groomed and the equipment was perfect. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Food is delicious. There is nothing that compares to the immense hexagonal fireplace in the foyer. Very comfortable on a cold winter day. Will definitely return. Our spa experience was excellent!

As a wedding photographer with extensive experience, Fairmont Le Château Montebello is truly one of my favourite venues to photograph. The venue offers almost limitless creative possibilities and works beautifully for documentary-style wedding coverage. Getting ready in the hotel rooms allows for a calm, stress-free start to the day, which always sets the tone for better moments and more natural images. Both the grounds and the interiors are ideal for capturing images that feel timeless and editorial at the same time. The darker, slightly more dramatic light inside the reception spaces adds warmth and depth, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere in photos. The flow of the venue makes the day feel effortless, no matter the season. And the staff are professional, attentive, and genuinely wonderful to work with. The food is excellent as well, which always elevates the guest experience.

The Ladies 91st Annual Sewell Bonspiel was a great event and well run. Staff and curling rink were wonderful. Food was great. Made lots of new friends while visiting with friends from the year before. Nice to have snow and a horse drawn sleigh ride! Enjoyed the entire experience. Great value for the price! I will be back next year!

There is so much potential in this hotel but honestly it’s easy to see why it’s gone into receivership. The service is terrible largely because there are not enough people to support guests, service is terribly slow (it took 3 attempts and >90mins to get a robe), the bar on the ground floor doesn’t haven staff. The pool however is lovely and it was fun to try curling. At $510 a night which was a discounted rate - this hotel is not worth it. I struggle to see how this hotel can still be in business under its current performance …. It has so much potential! Loved the engraved hearts on the column in front our room - you’d think this would have been painted over.

We were there from 22-27 Dec 2025, along with our daughter, her husband and their 3 children (aged 4, 2 and 6 months). It was fantastic!!! The Christmas decor was absolutely beautiful; service was great throughout the hotel; food was excellent (both “A la Carte” and at the buffet); there were plenty of activities for all ages, both inside and outside; and room service was superb! Well done indeed, Chateau Montebello! An we also truly appreciated the ALL ACCOR "member status recognition" gifts! Very thoughtful selection...and simply well done! Our whole experience was memorable! We are already looking forward to the 2026 Christmas break!

So disappointed that the menus said kids below 6 age is free but was charged 9CAD for 2 and 4 year old. Waitress placed us at the centre of the dining area which isn't that suitable for kids.

The rooms are small and a bit dated but it's part of maintaining the charm of the original structure of the hotel which we adore and we don't spend much time in the rooms regardless so it all works out!

Went for a Spa day. It was a little bit confusing with not enough signs as to where the Spa actually was. Especially if it’s your 1st time. Had to call my friend who had been there to help me find the spot. They should add more signs. Otherwise Amazing location, beautiful view. Massage was great so thank you Samira Arrad. Headed over to the pool and then lunch. Will definitely be back again.

We came for a vacation between Christmas and New Year’s. We used almost all of the services in the resort, except for ice-skating. We found the facilities to be clean, the food was very good, the service was absolutely excellent. We also spent the day at the spa, which was very enjoyable and relaxing! The concierge services at the hotel went above and beyond to help arrange transportation for us to and from the resort and to help with booking the resort experiences.
