As a remote-first company with 65 employees, we place a high value on the opportunity to connect in person to foster collaboration and strengthen relationships. The picturesque Montebello grounds offered the perfect setting for our retreat, the team’s dedication to hospitality exceeded all our expectations and their support throughout the planning process was invaluable. With their help, we were able to seamlessly execute a complex event.” —Tyler Hardie, Executive Assistant, CapIntel Inc. FAIRMONT LE CHÂTEAU MONTEBELLO: A FULLY CONNECTED EXPERIENCE At the centre of it all is Fairmont Le Château Montebello, a venue that sets the tone before the first session begins. Recognized as the world’s largest log cabin, the resort blends rustic elegance with a distinctly Québec sense of place. Set along the Ottawa River and surrounded by 300 acres of wilderness, the atmosphere feels open and immersive, while still delivering the seamless infrastructure planners rely on. With more than 16,000 sq. ft. of meeting space across 19 meeting rooms, the property adapts easily to everything from leadership retreats to full-scale conferences. Add 210 guestrooms, on-site dining, an 18-hole golf course, outdoor activities and a full-service spa, and the experience becomes fully integrated. In the Outaouais, business events take shape in a setting that feels grounded. With everything close at hand, programs unfold naturally, from first session to final send-off.

FLAVOURS OF THE OUTAOUAIS At Fairmont Le Château Montebello, dining reflects Québec’s culinary identity through seasonal menus and regional ingredients. From the refined, storydriven experience at Nymark to a relaxed terrace at Le Grill BBQ, each meal carries a clear sense of place. A stroll through the village of Montebello adds personality to any event program. Les Brasseurs de Montebello, a craft brewery and pub, is a great place to discover regional beverages, while Fromagerie Montebello offers fine cheeses flavoured by Québec’s unique terroir. Then there is ChocoMotive, an artisanal chocolate factory located in a restored heritage train station. Using only certified fair trade organic chocolate, sugar and cocoa, ChocoMotive offers corporate gifts as well as an introductory chocolate-making workshop. SPACE TO THINK, ROOM TO CONNECT Not far from the village centre, Kenauk Nature is a vast protected reserve where groups can take part in guided teambuilding activities such as hiking, ice fishing, fly-fishing or clay shooting. The site also offers meeting spaces, making it possible to combine strategy sessions with time outdoors in a meaningful way. Parc Oméga offers a different kind of immersion. Whether it’s the 12-km drive-through safari, where visitors observe wildlife from their vehicles, dining at OmegaBon restaurant with views into bear and Arctic fox enclosures, or the ONIRO immersive forest night walk, each experience feels far removed from the usual event format. “If you're looking for something crazy unique, it's a private cocktail reception with wolves. From behind an observatory window, you can see the wolves in action,” says Tracy Campbell, Business Events Specialist, Outaouais Tourism.
