The YukonHome/Where to stay/La Malbaie/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in La Malbaie
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in La Malbaie, from riverside inns to chalets and apartment-style stays, drawn from guest scores, facilities and distance to the centre. It is for travellers who want a comfortable base in Charlevoix without giving up character.
Staying in La Malbaie
La Malbaie sits on the Saint Lawrence River in the Charlevoix region, a town built on its history as a summer resort. Visitors come for the natural beauty and the outdoors — hiking, skiing, whale watching and golf — and for cultural stops such as the Charlevoix Museum and the Casino de Charlevoix. The architecture and the many hotels and inns still reflect that resort past, and the sectors of Pointe-au-Pic, La Malbaie Centre and Cap-à-l'Aigle each have their own feel.
These 3-star hotels are spread across the town rather than clustered in one spot. Several sit on Rue Principale and Rue Richelieu in the main town area, others on Chemin Des Falaises toward Pointe-au-Pic, and some further out on Route 132, the Vieux Chemin, Rue De La Remontée or Chemin Grand Fonds Nord. The nearest to the centre are Domaine Frais Air at 1.7 km and the Richelieu and Chemin Des Falaises addresses at around 3 km. Couples and short-break visitors will find small inns with fireplaces and terraces; families are served by family rooms, kitchens and pools; drivers suit the outlying chalets.
