Manoir Richelieu, building in Quebec, Canada
Manoir Richelieu is a large hotel built in châteauesque style, perched on cliffs overlooking the St. Lawrence River in La Malbaie. The building features tall towers, steep roofs, and ornate stonework, with over 400 rooms, multiple dining venues, a spa, and an adjacent 27-hole golf course.
Manoir Richelieu opened in 1899 as a riverside retreat and was destroyed by fire in 1928, then rebuilt in 1929 with its distinctive château design. The hotel hosted the G7 summit in 2018 and continues to serve as a venue for high-level international meetings.
The name references Cardinal Richelieu, a 17th-century French statesman, reflecting the hotel's connection to French heritage and elegance. The châteauesque design creates a sense of refined European culture that appeals to guests seeking a touch of old-world sophistication.
The hotel sits on a cliff with sweeping views of the St. Lawrence River and is just a few minutes drive from the village of La Malbaie. Guests can easily access the adjacent golf course, nearby hiking trails, the connected casino, and regional parks for outdoor exploration.
US President William Howard Taft opened the hotel's original 27-hole golf course in the 1920s, reflecting the property's prominence at the time. The course remains one of Canada's top-rated golf experiences and draws players from around the world.
