Property Description

In February 1930, the site where Fairmont Le Château Montebello now stands was just a clearing in the woods. Four months later, the massive cedar château was erected - a construction feat that captured the popular imagination of the time, inspired newspaper features across North America and attracted crowds of on-lookers. The dream of Swiss-American Harold Saddlemire, who dubbed it "Lucerne-in-Quebec," Fairmont Le Château Montebello was inspired by the châteaux of the Swiss Alps. Craftsmen used 10,000 giant cedar logs to build the resort's three main buildings, all cut and set by hand. The central log château, which houses all the guest rooms in the resort, has a three-story central atrium, at the heart of which stands a massive six-sided fireplace with a central chimney. For 40 years after its completion in 1930, the log structure was the private retreat of the Seigniory Club, whose elite membership included politicians such as former Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson and foreign dignitaries such as Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco. The resort has a number of historic meetings under its belt, including the 1981 International Economic Summit, attended by political figures such as Ronald Reagan, François Mitterand, Pierre Trudeau and Margaret Thatcher. The historic Manor House stands on the property and is open as a museum in the summer. Guests of Fairmont Le Château Montebello can easily stroll over for a look into the past. Whether guests come here to discuss matters of global nature, or just seeking a weekend's relaxation, Fairmont Le Château Montebello offers a tranquil setting and a rich history of excellent service and refined cuisine.
