Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
Updated on Aug 24, 2026
There are a number of venues in the Townships where you’ll just want to sit back, let go of any stress and connect with the present moment. Here are some of these, along with the first word that came to mind when we thought of them!
Although the hotel is located in the heart of Sherbrooke, you’ll still feel as if you’ve entered a comfortable cocoon when you walk into this hotel. Everything here breathes unpretentious luxury, where refinement and comfort take centre stage. Fine quality bedding, available iPads, Nespresso coffee machine, 50-inch television, modern furniture… You’ll need to be very determined to want to leave your room! Unless it’s to take advantage of the spa or the pool, or sit at a table at the Boefish where notably, among other dishes, they serve some excellent steaks!
Surrounded by a 1,000-acre forest made up of mature trees in Eastman is where you’ll find Le Vertendre’s accommodations. The Chalets and Zooboxes offer all the modern touches and esthetic beauty to have you experience true Zen during your stay. However, it’s the surrounding nature—the lakes, the hiking trails, the brooks and streams, etc.—that will offer you a daily dose of pristine fresh air. Set against the Parc National du Mont-Orford, the Vertendre is that true little oasis you’ve been looking for.
At Spa Eastman, everything is designed to help you slow down and focus on your well-being. Surrounded by more than 300 acres of forest, this peaceful retreat offers a soothing setting where time seems to stand still. From the comfort of its charming accommodations and the flavorful dishes of its renowned Cuisine ToniqueMC to the scenic nature trails just steps away, every moment invites you to unplug and unwind. For an even deeper sense of renewal, the spa’s signature retreats and wellness stays provide the perfect opportunity to reconnect with yourself, restore balance, and fully embrace the restorative power of nature.
Manoir Hovey is the perfect place to indulge in a peaceful escape in one of the Eastern Townships’ most elegant settings. Situated on the shores of Lake Massawippi and surrounded by a forest of pines and birches, this exceptional retreat naturally encourages relaxation and a slower pace of life. Its refined guest rooms, nature-inspired spa, and warm atmosphere create an environment designed for rest and renewal. Here, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to surround you with comfort and help you leave the busyness of everyday life behind.
Imagine waking up, enjoying a cup of coffee on your balcony facing the mountain. Breathe deeply; Swim a few laps in the pool, then lay back and relax with a good book. You'll also need to find time for a spa treatment, perhaps a walk on the nearby trails, an hour in the hot tub, a game of pool, a gourmet meal at the Bistro… In short, you’ll want to linger here.
Why choose the St-Georges? Because all 9 suites have their own charming appeal; because you’ll be able to relax in a lounging area by a fireplace; because there’s a lovely terrace with a spa and sauna, and because everything you see here will invite you to pause for a moment.
The fact that it’s located in the heart of Vieux-Bromont, 10 minutes from the mountain, the Parc des Sommets, Balnea Spa, and a golf course will perhaps inspire you to step outside. Just maybe!
Fifty-four recently refurbished rooms with a modern mid-century touch. With their 50s and 60s-style decor, while offering all the modern amenities for your comfort and wellbeing. And since most rooms overlook Lake Memphremagog, you’ll also treat yourself to a spectacular and unique view of the sunset here.
The restaurant—Koz—will offer you the luxury of not having to leave your lodgings if you prefer not to; But since you’ll be right in the heart of downtown Magog, with its lakeside walkway, the marsh of the Rivière-aux-Cerises, the pretty boutiques on rue Principale, etc., you might be tempted to head outdoors and explore your surroundings.
Not far from downtown Granby, by Lake Boivin, the Saint-Christophe offers you everything you’ll need for an ideal cocooning getaway. The cozy rooms with a European decor, a spa offering a long list of cares, a pool, a restaurant, and access to walking and cycling trails … if you have the heart to do so.
