Manoir Hovey

When it comes to luxury in the Eastern Townships, one venue is naturally always mentioned: Manoir Hovey. So, of course, we propose that you settle peacefully at the Manoir for the next 72 hours. Nestled on the tranquil shores of Lake Massawippi, this historic establishment epitomizes excellence and refinement. Awarded two MICHELIN Keys, the Manoir provides much more than just a stay. Here you’ll enjoy a total immersion in the art of living slowly and serenely. As soon as you enter, you’ll receive a warm and heartfelt welcome. All the rooms offer an elegant decor meticulously designed, combining absolute comfort with subtle aesthetics, inviting guests to relax as they take in the natural environment. Imagine yourself sitting by the fireplace with a hot beverage in your hand, watching the snowflakes dance outside the window. Indeed, the beginning of a cozy winter interlude, nestled in a calm and stylish setting, at the heart of an estate where every detail tells a story.

Spa du Manoir

The Spa at Manoir Hovey invites guests to enjoy a day of pure wellness. Nestled in the middle of nature, overlooking the dreamlike lake landscape bordered by century-old trees, this soothing haven offers a moment of luxury and serenity. Therapeutic massages, personalized facials, manicures and pedicures... each treatment is intended as a restful ritual. Here, the cares are at the heart of the spa experience. The thermal installations complete the picture: a year-round heated outdoor pool, hot tubs, dry sauna, a hammam and a cold-water pool blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. As an added touch, the relaxation rooms offer spectacular views of the landscape. At the Manoir Hovey Spa, time slows down. Every moment becomes an invitation to refocus, breathe and savour deep, luxurious calm.

Restaurant le Hatley

After a carefree day at the Manoir, the restaurant Le Hatley offers a gastronomic moment well anchored in our Québec terroir. Each dish tells a story: that of chef Alexandre Vachon, his family roots, and the rich nature that inspires him. Every menu selection pays tribute to the land, the lake, and the forest by harmoniously blending their textures and flavours. You’ll find your table in an elegant luminous dining room, opening onto the lake, and enjoy an experience that is both intimate and grandiose. Their table d’hôte is a true celebration of the seasons and presents a refined overview of the region’s vast gastronomic palette. Each meal takes you on a sensory adventure, where the culinary creations leave a lasting impression well beyond your last bite.

LesDómes by Bistro Kóz

For your evening meal, we invite you to Bistro Kóz, a restaurant that transports its guests to the shores of the Mediterranean, where the flavours of Greece and Turkey come together in a generous, colourful and distinctly gourmet cuisine. In a chic and charming decor, dishes are shared and savoured in a convivial ambiance. But in winter the restaurant stands out even more with its unique and memorable experience, LesDómes. These transparent, heated bubbles facing Lake Memphremagog offer a magical setting for an open-air meal while staying warm. Good news: for its 4th anniversary, in 2025–2026, a fourth dome will be added to the dining concept. Inside, the vibe is cozy, intimate, and almost mystical.

Le Vignoble du Ruisseau

To conclude your stay in the Townships, we invite you to spend an afternoon at the vineyard. Yes, even in winter! In fact, when vineyards are covered in snow, they take on a new dimension. At Vignoble du Ruisseau, the cold season offers a unique moment for your senses, where wine can be discovered from a totally different perspective. Accompanied by a passionate guide, you’ll explore the winemaking process behind the scenes on a one-hour walk through the estate. The experience continues in the intimate Pinot Noir room, facing the cellars, with a tasting of four carefully selected wines. For a more complete experience, a 90-minute package includes a welcome glass, an in-depth tour and a guided tasting, accompanied by Québec—made cheeses. Truly, a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the world of wine while savouring the moment, glass in hand!
