Wood is good at the Chateau Montebello, a memorable lodging choice for a Montreal, Quebec golf vacation.
When Fairmont Hotels merged with the Canadian Pacific railroad concern, they acquired the historic grand hotels that the latter once built to entice passengers to travel, including classics like the Banff Springs Hotel and Jasper Park Lodge. The least well-known of these gems is the Chateau Montebello, the largest log structure in the world, and the most unique place to stay on a Montreal, Quebec golf vacation.
An amazing piece of architecture, it was hewn from 10,000 red cedar logs, and consists of a four-story open-air central atrium, from which radiate four lodging wings, creating a huge, star-shaped hotel. The lobby is built around an enormous four-sided stone fireplace pillar, so big it actually requires four separate fires to reach its openings. Outside, the grounds are endless, and include a lake with a marina, gardens, a large spa and fitness center, and trails for horseback rides, biking and hiking. Read more →

You can bet that wouldn’t have happened if the tournament was being played at nearby Lionhead Golf Club, as it is home to one of the toughest courses in North America, and certainly the toughest one you can play on a Toronto, Ontario golf vacation. Read more →
