An “undercover star” in the hospitality space, the picturesque Manoir Hovey in North Hatley, Quebec has been delivering refined reprieve since it opened in 1899. Set on the shores of Lake Massawippi, the sprawling estate boasts 30 acres of birch forests, English gardens and 52 accommodations between the main manor and cottages. Beautiful, yes, but it is the property’s modern approach to mindfulness and luxurious spa that make it an unassuming standout for self-care.
Artfully designed for full immersion into nature and the elements, the indoor-outdoor thermal experience—also known as Nordic Spa—is open all year.
Perhaps the most luxe offering of the property is the three luxury spa suites, located in the new Le Spa Manoir Hovey pavilion. An extension of the relaxing haven, each suite features a soaking tub, soothing color palettes and panoramic views.
Another aspect of the holistic healing journey is the mindful, nature-inspired cuisine. It delivers a true farm-to-fork experience as it celebrates local, sustainable ingredients by Chef Alexandre Vachon.
