Le glamping, between luxury and nature

Le glamping, a contraction of "glamorous camping", is a growing trend that attracts those looking to merge intimacy with nature and modern comfort. In Quebec, this form of luxury camping finds an ideal playground thanks to the diversity and beauty of its landscapes, and it is possible to indulge in it all year round.

A CHARMING ESCAPE IN THE HEART OF NATURE

Quebec is renowned for its vast wilderness and breathtaking landscapes. Among the must-see destinations, the Dômes Charlevoix offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. These domes, with their transparent walls, allow you to admire the starry sky from the comfort of your bed.

The Parc Aventures Cap Jaseux, located on the edge of the Saguenay Fjord, is another sought-after site. Visitors can stay in spheres suspended in the trees or in perched wooden cabins, offering an immersive experience in the middle of the forest. For those who prefer a coastal ambiance, Domaine Floravie in Rimouski offers log cabins, tiny houses and cabins with sea views.

THE NEW FACE OF THE IBERVILLE TOWER

Keen to remain competitive in a demanding industry, the Monteleone hotel has carried out major renovations of its Iberville Tower in recent years to build 160 additional rooms and 48 luxury suites, as well as a heated swimming pool and a bar on the roof. Sumptuous with their high ceilings, woodwork, marble bathrooms and king-size beds, these modern rooms and suites offer all the comfort one could dream of.

A PHILOSOPHY CENTERED ON EXCELLENCE

But behind the glamor lies the work and constant efforts of an extraordinary team whose mission is to ensure that each guest keeps an unforgettable memory of their stay. In addition to a warm welcome upon arrival, each visitor can use the service of a concierge to plan a visit or reserve a private car transportation service or a dinner at the restaurant. If he chooses to eat at the hotel at one of the Criollo tables, he will be entitled to a dedicated server and impeccable service, in addition to enjoying fine cuisine combining Caribbean and American flavors.

THE CAROUSEL BAR: A UNIQUE REVOLVING BAR AT THE HOTEL

In addition to welcoming celebrities, offering sumptuous rooms and unparalleled service, the Monteleone hotel has something that no other establishment has: a magnificent revolving bar. Created in 1949, the Carousel Piano Bar & Lounge offers 25 seats. Rotating on 2000 large steel rollers pulled by a chain powered by a quarter-horsepower motor, it completes one revolution every 15 minutes. However, you have to arrive early to hope to get a place! If this is your case, try the Vieux Carré! This whiskey-based cocktail was invented here. Several evenings a week, the hotel also offers on-site concerts.

In conclusion, the Monteleone hotel is one of those rare places combining history, comfort and impeccable service. Staying there, whether during carnival or at any other time of the year, is a guarantee of happy memories... which will make you want to come back!
