“We are thrilled to open bookings for Club Med Québec Charlevoix,” says Amélie Brouhard, Vice-President, Club Med Canada and Mexico. “Canadians have been visiting Club Med resorts for decades and we are honoured to be able to bring Club Med’s legacy as worldwide leader in all-inclusive travel to the exceptional Charlevoix region. We can’t wait to open our doors December 2021 to longtime fans of the brand and first-time guests, while showcasing everything our all-season resort has to offer.”
Interior interludes to magnify exterior beauty and enjoy a premium resort experience
Guests can choose from Superior, Deluxe and Suite accommodations, each designed to echo the character of the region:
Superior rooms channel the colours of Quebec’s expanses– winter white, twilight blue and yellow sun play on the environment of the Boreal Forest
Deluxe rooms feature elements akin to the warmth of ancestral homes - blond wooden floors, lofty ceilings and lower walls that call on barn doors, painted carmine red;
Exclusive Collection Suites experiment with textures – leather, wood, fur, knitted wool – in a modernized setting. Nestled at the top of the resort, the Exclusive Collection Space, Le Saint-Laurent, offers incredible views, exclusive amenities, and premium services.
The design motif extends throughout the resort’s varied dining options: the main restaurant, a gourmet marketplace, nods to Quebec’s history with harvesting, fishing, breeding and hunting for food; Le Chalet, features a specialty restaurant, lounge bar, wine cellar and gourmet market, all within an intimate atmosphere; Terroir & Co offers an entertaining dining experience for families, where parents and kids prepare and share a meal together, including participative fondues and raclettes with local Quebec cheeses and charcuteries. The main bar, at the heart of the resort, is a colourful multifunction space that evolves throughout the day, from a daytime lounge to an evening entertainment centre, hosting shows and parties.

Winter in Charlevoix is much more than just a ski vacation
As the only waterfront ski resort in Le Massif, Club Med Québec Charlevoix boasts exceptional distinctions, offering the most spectacular skiing east of the Rockies. However, the outdoor fun extends far beyond skiing, with an extensive portfolio for adventure. Guests can take (à la carte) advantage of the wealth of activities in the region, including dogsledding, snowmobiling, ice-fishing and even ice-canoeing. Immerse yourself in the Quebec culture and tap into the province’s distinct joie de vivre for the full experience, complete with Charlevoix’s finest culinary delicacies: local cheeses and cold cuts, microbrewery beers, ciders and of course, maple products.
“Charlevoix is known for its pristine beauty, warm hospitality and charming culture,” says David Meyer, Project Director, Club Med North America. “Shaping Canada’s first Club Med within this region has been a complete privilege and we are looking forward to highlighting Charlevoix’s heritage and character within every facet of the resort, staying true to Club Med’s values of social responsibility and sustainable touristic development.”
Designed to reflect and ignite the joie de vivre of the region
The modern design concept, developed by Quebec City-based architectural and design firm, Lemay Michaud, is a nod to a Quebec quilt: an amalgam of colours, textures and shapes inspired by the four seasons that characterize the province. The resort reinterprets and integrates elements from Quebec’s traditional architecture, a testament to its adaptation to winter climate, use of local resources and storied craftsmanship. The curvature of the building shows a will to naturally follow the curves of the terrain, to enjoy the sunlight as much as possible, and to offer spectacular views of the picturesque surroundings from the interior spaces.
Opportunities for the region
In partnership with Groupe Le Massif, Club Med has created a superior recreational vision that will bring a significant economic impact to the region; with an average of 50,000 guests per year. Stakeholders within the region will see benefits from increased tourist activity, and the creation of 325 direct and 400 indirect jobs. Club Med is also working directly with local businesses on a variety of partnership opportunities.
As a part of Club Med’s dedication to minimizing its ecological impact, it is pursuing two recognized sustainability certifications for Canada’s inaugural resort. The brand hopes to be the first hotel structure in North America to comply with strict BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environment Assessment Method) environmental standards and is diligently working towards sustainable operations management of the resort in order to become Green Globe-certified by opening day.
