This fall, enjoy a relaxing escape at Hôtel Castel in Granby.

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.
