The much-anticipated conference and meeting facility at FAIRMONT LE CHÂTEAU MONTEBELLO is now open for business!  With an investment of $6.2 million, this new facility adds 6,000 square feet to the previous 11,300 square feet of meeting, convention and social event space.

The free standing addition is located at the east end of the resort and linked to the main building through an underground tunnel.  In keeping with Fairmont Le Château Montebello’s style and ambiance, the new facility has been carefully designed to portrait the unique wood exterior synonymous with the hotel’s features.  On the inside, great thought was given to the decor; featuring a country-chic approach with a stunning foyer/reception area, complete with a luxurious floor to ceiling brick, gas fireplace as the focal point. The meeting space layout also offers planners great versatility. The options vary, allowing for one large ballroom that seats 350 people or two equally divided rooms for smaller meetings or functions. A notable feature is the beautiful terrace that offers breathtaking views of the Ottawa River.

“This beautiful facility opens the door to many new meetings, conventions and social functions that we simply could not accommodate in the past.  We remain confident that this new addition will help us forge ahead and we are excited about introducing it to our valued event planners,” comments, Werner Sapp, General Manager.

Fairmont Le Château Montebello is located in the beautiful forest of Montebello, Québec, halfway between Montreal and Ottawa.  With 211 rooms the resort is a peaceful retreat ideal for both, business and pleasure.  Beautiful river views and a serene forest setting are the backdrop for many seasonal activities from fishing and golfing, to cross-country skiing and curling.  The hotel is also home to the only Land Rover Driving School in Canada.   If rest and relaxation are on the agenda the hotel offers a fabulous Fairmont Spa available year-round!
