Learning about Hovey

Manoir Hovey is truly one of Canada's most charming and romantic inns offering lakeside seclusion, affordable luxury and haute cuisine on 1800 feet of prime lakeshore. The Manor was built at the turn of the century as a private estate modeled after George Washington's Mount Vernon home. Since 1950, Hovey Manor has been a prestigious resort inn (view awards and distinctions) offering everything right on site for a complete vacation year-round. Whether you're seeking escape and renewal, or an active sporty vacation, we've got it! History buffs will enjoy reading more about Hovey's unique past.

Located on Lake Massawippi, just outside one of Quebec's most picturesque villages - North Hatley, we're only 75 minutes east of Montreal and 20 minutes north of Vermont. You can see beautiful interactive panoramas of our grounds by clicking here.

Manoir Hovey is a proud member of Relais & Châteaux, the world's most prestigious hotel group.

The criteria for becoming a member of the Relais & Châteaux are stringent. Following an invitation to apply, a candidate property forwards its official dossier to the group's head office in Paris. If the application meets a set of formal conditions, suitability is evaluated during an initial property inspection. After these preliminary efforts, the establishment is visited anonymously (several times in the year following application) to determine whether its services comply with the Relais & Châteaux Quality Charter, or the "5 C's": character, calm, charm, courtesy and cuisine. These inspection reports are examined by the board of directors which approves the acceptance of new members.

Each property within this group is privately owned and operated. Beyond that of quality, their common denominator is the passion with which every hotelier runs his particular establishment. At this time, there are 16 Relais & Châteaux properties in Canada.
