Booking a meal package is another option for families looking to save money on dining.
Although the property doesn't necessarily bill itself as a "family resort," the Fairmont Chateau Montebello is used to hosting families with children young and old within its log walls. The staff the hotel is more than welcoming to families, and will accommodate requests for childcare, children's toys, sports lessons for youngsters, kid-friendly activities and more.
The Art of Smart Timing
The Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello is open year round. Yes, it's quite frigid in Quebec in the winter. But with its large list of cold-weather activities -- including dog sledding! -- the hotel is a undoubtedly top-notch winter destination (nothing beats sitting by that enormous fire in the magnificent log-cabin lobby while snow falls outside).
During summer, families can take advantage of outdoor activities and sports from kayaking to hiking.
Getting There
