You’d love to head out with the family without any hassles attached? Here are three accommodations to fully enjoy the region without making any compromises. Each venue offers activities that will please everyone. In fact, they’ve thought of pretty much everything to satisfy the entire family!

Enjoy a Stay Defined by Comfort

This fall, enjoy a relaxing escape at Hôtel Castel in Granby. Located near the Granby Zoo, cycling paths, hiking trails, and several of the region’s must-see attractions, the hotel is the perfect home base for taking in the vibrant colours of the season. Whether you're travelling as a couple, with family, or with friends, you'll find everything you need to combine relaxation, local flavours, and outdoor adventures.

Its 136 spacious rooms and suites, spread across five floors, provide a warm and welcoming setting with private balconies and views of the city, gardens, pool, or Mount Yamaska.

When it comes to dining, Hôtel Castel stands out with its three on-site venues. At L’Émulsion, Chef Frédéric Michon showcases local ingredients through refined cuisine. For a more casual atmosphere, Pub Le Parloir delights guests with local craft beers, comforting dishes, and a popular kids’ menu. Meanwhile, Resto Café serves hearty breakfasts to help you start the day right.

With its extensive amenities and family-friendly offerings, Hôtel Castel is the perfect place to create lasting fall memories.

Escape Into an Extraordinary World

For more than 20 years, Entre Cîmes et Racines has welcomed visitors seeking nature, simplicity, and meaningful moments together. Set on a 175-acre forested property, the site offers 12 km of trails, a woodland labyrinth, treasure hunts, and countless opportunities to discover local wildlife and enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends.

To extend the experience, settle into one of the property's unique eco-cabins. With their storybook charm, Le Hobbit and La Pierre de Feu transport guests into a setting that feels straight out of a fantasy film. Accessible by car year-round, these comfortable retreats invite visitors to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters. Free of electricity and perfectly integrated into their natural surroundings, they provide an ideal setting for sharing a meal, gathering around a crackling fire, and stargazing beneath the night sky.

Guided by values of authenticity, respect for nature, simplicity, and sustainable tourism, Entre Cîmes et Racines offers much more than a place to stay. It is an opportunity to unplug from everyday life, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories that will stay with you long after your visit.

Located just steps from the lake and downtown, the hotel serves as the perfect home base for exploring the region’s attractions, from Mount Mégantic and the Observatory to local shops, restaurants, and surrounding natural areas.

The hotel’s modern, fully equipped rooms and suites stand out for their large windows, which showcase the urban and natural landscapes of Lac-Mégantic. By day, sunlight highlights the town’s picturesque scenery; by night, the stars take centre stage, reminding visitors why the region is renowned for its exceptionally dark and beautiful skies.

Designed to accommodate all types of travellers, the property offers a range of complimentary amenities, including a continental breakfast, high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped fitness room, free parking with electric vehicle charging stations, and accessible facilities.
