The YukonHome/Where to stay/Sherbrooke/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Sherbrooke
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Sherbrooke, from downtown addresses to lakeside estates and converted farmhouses. It is for travellers who want the city's top-rated stays, whether for a weekend, a family break or a longer stay in the Estrie region.
Staying in Sherbrooke
Sherbrooke is a bilingual city in the Estrie region, known for its historic architecture and as a centre for education and technology, with the University of Sherbrooke among its institutions. Visitors find a compact, walkable downtown with shops, restaurants and cultural venues, historic streets in Vieux-Nord, and riverside parks in Jacques-Cartier along the Saint-François River, where the Sherbrooke Nature and Science Museum sits. Festivals fill the summer calendar, autumn brings fall foliage in the surrounding hills, and winter is skiing season.
The hotels on this list spread well beyond the centre: addresses run from Rue King Ouest and Rue Belvedere Sud in the city to Chemin Du Parc in Orford, Route 212 in Woburn, Rang Des Grenier in Piopolis and Rue Saroy near Lac Magog. The result is a mix of urban, lakeside and countryside settings. Couples gravitate to the 5-star estates with gardens, spas and private beaches; families are served by hotels with family rooms, pools and playgrounds; business travellers have downtown options with business centres and fitness rooms. Short-break visitors can pick by setting as much as by class.
