The YukonHome/Where to stay/Saguenay/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Saguenay
This shortlist covers 3-star hotels in Saguenay, from central Chicoutimi addresses to riverside and lakeside inns.
Staying in Saguenay
Saguenay is a region shaped by the Saguenay Fjord and its national park, and by the three boroughs of Chicoutimi, Jonquière and La Baie. Chicoutimi is the central borough, with hotels, restaurants and cultural attractions such as the Pulperie de Chicoutimi. Jonquière lies to the west with its own commercial district and access to outdoor activities along the Saguenay River. La Baie sits on the shores of Ha! Ha! Bay, closest to the fjord and the national park. The hotels here are spread across these areas. Several sit right in central Chicoutimi, on Rue Racine Est, Rue Morin, Rue Du Séminaire and Ruelle Gaudreault, all within about a kilometre of the centre. The mix suits couples and families on a short break in the city, business travellers who need a central address with meeting rooms, and nature lovers who prefer to stay closer to the fjord, the river or the lake.
