• Its history

In 1899, the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Company built in Pointe-au-Pic, a 250-room luxury hotel made entirely of wood, serving cruise ship passengers on sumptuous steamboats. The Pointe-au-Pic sector, the true cradle of resort tourism in Quebec, was already, at that time, a very popular resort and one of the best known in North America, welcoming guests who were fleeing the big cities in search of fresh air and wide open spaces, to spend quality time with their families. In 1928, a major fire razed the Manoir to the ground and the hotel was quickly rebuilt, this time in concrete, and opened its doors again in June 1929. A salt water swimming pool and a casino, intended for shows and dances, were then the two new attractions of the Manoir Richelieu. On June 8 and 9, 2018, Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu hosts the G7 Summit in Charlevoix and welcomes the world's greatest leaders. A long tradition of hospitality... for more than 120 years.
