The house
AccorClifftop château resort
A storied cliffside château resort where travelers take in sweeping St. Lawrence panoramas from grand riverfront terraces.
What it’s good at
Notable
Generations of travellers gathering on St. Lawrence riverfront terraces for summer cocktails and celebrations.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Resembling a grand ivy-clad French château, the luxury hotel is just as striking to behold today, not to mention easier to access.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The grounds connect directly to Casino de Charlevoix, while a guided via ferrata scales the cliff face below.
The rooms
Dark wood furnishings and patterned carpeting define classic rooms, where deep soaking tubs look onto the river.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated outdoor pools and whirlpools stay open year-round, sending steam into the winter air above the St. Lawrence River.
The spa and gym
Moment Spa has steam rooms, hydrotherapy baths, and a fireplace lounge. Next door, a bright gym lines wooden floors.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Glass-enclosed dining rooms and sunset terraces look out over the river, serving regional Charlevoix cuisine and evening cocktails.
How it began
A shipping company built the manor in 1899 for steamship passengers, then rebuilt it in 1929 after a fire.
