The best accommodations Canada

Located in the heart of downtown, a stone's throw from McGill University, Mount Royal and the metro, this guesthouse is an excellent base for exploring Montreal, and at an attractive price. Its rooms can comfortably accommodate two to four people, depending on the unit, in a well-preserved historic setting. An on-site café is open daily to satisfy your caffeine and gourmet cravings, and there's also a terrace area where you can savour all that this place has to offer.

The name and architectural style remain faithful to the original inn, built many decades ago. The rusticity of the original 17-room inn has, however, given way to refinement. Today, this magnificent hotel features exclusively 1- to 4-bedroom suites (70) with full kitchens or kitchenettes, living rooms with gas fireplaces and private balconies. A full range of upscale services, a guest lounge with pool table, and an outdoor pool and whirlpool complete the experience.

Located in the heart of the Innu community of Uashat, the site is home to the Atikuss artisanal workshop-boutique, which sells products from the 11 Aboriginal nations of Quebec (with special mention to the superb mukluks boots, atikuss.com). To finance its activities, part of the house has been converted into a small hotel with lovely studios. There's also a superb loft with private balcony, large kitchen and dining room that will make you feel right at home. Bonus: a package allows you to combine accommodation with a whale-watching cruise.

A real heart for this cottage, a little bit outside the area where tourists are concentrated. Michel, the owner, decorated this former presbytery with a wonderful care: lace, earthenware dishes, jetés beds, pastel colours. We really feel very well. In the morning, don't miss the home breakfast. A pure delight!

How would you like to have your own little nest just a few steps away from the Sommet Saint-Sauveur station? That's what Domaine Nymark and its luxurious condo-hotels offer you! Equipped with high-end amenities, all units offer exceptional comfort, a terrace or balcony, a gas fireplace and a view of the mountain (partial view for some units). Sleeping from 2 to 8 people, they are ideal for a few days getaway or a week-long vacation. Bonus: the domain is close to all services.

Just a stone's throw from the famous Pointe-des-Monts lighthouse (visit available for a fee), some 15 rustic camps can accommodate 2 to 5 people. Amenities vary from unit to unit: some are quite rustic, while others are almost as large and well-equipped as a house. On-site and nearby activities include: shore expeditions, hiking the Charlotte Trail and visiting the Ashini aboriginal camp, birdwatching and stargazing, trout and salmon fishing.

This family hosting network, known as "guest room" in France, allows you to experience the Quebec experience at its best. The village comprises a dozen municipalities in the Upper Laurentians such as Ferme-Neuve, Mont-Laurier or Lac-du-Cerf. The group base package, for example, includes a welcome cocktail, twinning with a host family for one night, evening meal, breakfast and a folk animation with musicians. An unforgettable experience!

Following the trend of boutique hotels, BOHO has set up shop in the Dunham Brewery complex, in the heart of the village. The tone is set! There are shared rooms for three or four people with lockers and shared bathrooms, private rooms with one king or two queen beds and private bathrooms for all, as well as two fully equipped villas for groups of friends and families. Everything is hyper functional, modern and ultra well decorated in neutral tones. We recommend it!

Very large campsite for tents and caravans, just a stone's throw from the wild zoo. For those who want more peace and quiet, the wooded section of the white forest is recommended. It is also possible to spend the night in a trailer, a yurt or a cottage. On-site services and activities: swimming pool and water games, walking trail, train ride, playgrounds, community pavilion with laundry room, canteen and convenience store, etc. The owners also operate a campground in Saint-Prime, a few kilometres from Saint-Félicien.

An extraordinary place with adorable bohemian owners, a superb setting and a view of the fjord; a rustic cottage (with electricity) for longer stays, a small comfortable chalet and 2 bedrooms in the main house. Between sea (Saguenay), mountain, forest and countryside. Ideal as a base camp to visit the surroundings (Saguenay, Lac St-Jean, Tadoussac and more) or simply to rest in a bucolic setting. A crazy charm, I promise!
