Fairmont Le Château Montebello

We have stayed here several times and always enjoyed it, despite the very high cost (higher than what it is worth in my view). We enjoy the facilities, though increasingly, despite a relatively new cash grab $37 resort fee, facilities are not available because of repairs (indoor tennis courts most recently). We have taken our dog (well trained Siberian Husky) in the past and other guests and kids in particular love coming to see him as we relax in the expansive lobby.Well, this experience was different and disappointing this time. We arrived with our Husky and the reception worker was quick to tell us he needed to be on leash at all times (reasonable request) and was not allowed in the lobby or any other part of the indoor resort except our room, and we needed to be there with him. If we left him in the room, he needed to be in a cage and must be quiet. Our dog, like many, has never been in a cage/kennel, and he would certainly howl under such circumstances. So we cancelled our reservation and drove back home. While I was cancelling our reservation, right in front of the receptionist was a beautiful golden retriever sitting in the lobby, so I asked the owner how it has been with the dog. She said they were in the lobby a lot over the past few days and no one said anything. That is like what it had been in the past for us, and certainly adds to the atmosphere. They also have a hotel dog that spends much time in the lobby, as do other Fairmont hotels - it is one of the features I particularly like about these hotels. Anyway, I caution any dog owner from bringing your dog to this resort. By their rules it is NOT DOG FREINDLY, at best DOG TOLERANT. They clearly apply the rules inconsistently making it harder to assess the true standards. We need to find a place where dogs are welcomed and not forced into the room when not outside.

Beautiful hotel. It is actually breathtaking. The grounds are amazing, the interior is incredible, and the location is amazing. I hope someday I can afford to spend a night here. :)

Me and my husband we have a long weekend experience, staff very friendly and efficient, the food at the restaurant delicious, excellent service at pool's bar, the concierge, etc. Room clean and nice, I have profit also of the spa simply wow, we surely come back with our son and his family

Amazing views! The staff was friendly and made sure to accommodate for our baby. The food from the hotel is absolutely delicious, had their breakfast and dinner! Definitely recommend this for a couple getaway or family.

The room is kinda rough but the whole building looks cool. ( The way to show room number was funny lol ) Receptionist was friendly, service at outdoor bbq was sweet. Lots of sitting area, nice and chillax.

Fun place to stay, with so much to do and beautiful surroundings. The historical nature of the hotel makes this place even more amazing. The service staff is so friendly, helpful and welcoming - even for a non French-speaking American.
