Hovey Manor
Hovey Manor, or Manoir Hovey /ˈhʌvi/ (in French) is a five-star, 37-bedroom, luxury hotel in North Hatley, Quebec, Canada.
Location
The 37-bedroom hotel's grounds cover 35 acres and has a view of Lake Massawippi.[1]
History
The hotel was initially built as a summer home for Henry Atkinson, the owner of Georgia Power, in 1900.[1] It was converted into a hotel in the 1950's, branded as The Birches, before being renamed Hovey Manor, named after local settler Colonel Ebenezer Hovey.[1] Stephen and Katryn Stafford bought the hotel in 1979, employing the son Jason to manage it in 2000.[1] The hotel is part of the Relais & Châteaux luxury hotel association.[2]
Notable guests include Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton (2017 visit), and Jacques Chirac and Bernadette Chirac (2003 visit).[3]
In 2007, the hotel was named one of Canada's top ten hotels in Condé Nast Traveler's Gold List – the only rural property in Eastern Canada to have received the award.[4] In 2014, it is ranked first among the Best Hotels in Eastern Canada in the Condé Nast Traveler: Readers' Choice Awards.[5] In 2016, it was voted Canada's top hotel by both the readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine, and by Travel & Leisure magazine.[1] Both magazines also stated that the hotel was amongst the fifty best hotels in the world.[1]
