Culinary Corner

The Westin Harbour Castle welcomed a new kind of loyal guest this past summer – they said hello to over 20,000 European Honey Bees!  Within just a couple of months, they were able to extract over 20kg of honey from their very own bee hives. With this local, unpasteurized, pure honey pulled from the nectar and pollen within flowers on the Toronto Islands, their crafty culinary team developed some sweet new recipes.  Learn more about how this SuperFood has been incorporated into several of our Westin properties.

Estérel Resort

Nowhere else in the Laurentians can you find rare wines, luxury suites or grand meeting halls so close to a lake! Bordered by three navigable lakes, this lakeside resort is a must-see destination!

When he landed on the shores of Lake Dupuis nearly 60 years ago, Estérel founder Fridolin Simard knew this was an idyllic site for a resort centre: a spectacular piece of land nestled among three lakes and a lush Laurentian forest. So it was no surprise in 2008 when new investors appeared to revamp the hotel and confirm its stellar reputation. An investment of nearly $50 M transformed the Estérel Hotel into the Estérel Resort, a project that took close to five years to complete.

Today, this premium hotel offers a distinctive range of services for your events: a total of 200 contemporary suites, half of which face the lake, with fireplaces and kitchenettes for your participants; a Nordic spa with whirlpools, swimming pools and two beaches; lake-view meeting rooms; access to a wide variety of culinary offerings including three restaurants overlooking the lake and one of Quebec’s most renowned wine cellars, that of the famous Champlain Charest. Only an hour and ten minutes from the airport in Montreal, this natural playground will be sure to enchant you all year round.

Hôtel Quintessence

Located at the foot of Mont Tremblant, the Hôtel Quintessence is the first five-star boutique hotel.  Its 30 luxury suites, all between 700 and 1,200 sq. ft., offer a magnificent view of Lake Tremblant.

The special thing about the Hôtel Quintessence for the small groups we host is our expertise when it comes to all the options the area offers. Our sales team customizes every booking to meet your unique needs. We don’t have the typical large meeting rooms you’ll find in other hotels in the area, but we offer our Philosophers’ Room: a small, private room that accommodates up to 14 people for meetings that require a calm, peaceful atmosphere. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, this room provides access to the patio facing the lake.

We can also convert our two restaurants according to your needs: choose the main hall of the La Quintessence restaurant or the main hall of the Winebar, or one of our spacious third-floor luxury suites, which can be converted into an intimate meeting room with all the audiovisual equipment you require.

The décor is quite different from the meeting rooms you’re used to: the crackling of a fire in the fireplace remains discreetly in the background but provides warmth during a meeting, and what could be more inspiring than the spectacular view? Various group activities can be offered and organized by our personalized concierge service. Your business… our expertise.
