 Nestled in the charming Victorian village of Knowlton since 1874, Lakeview Inn stands out from other inns in Quebec by its appearance. Now classified historical monument, this inn once welcomed celebrities from the Quebec and Canada bourgeoisie. If these upper-class members did not travel in their stagecoach, someone would welcome them at the train station of the village, not far from the inn. Since the train was more comfortable, and the station was close by, the clients of Lakeview Inn were in growing number. Unfortunately, wars and the economic crisis led to the decline of this beautiful inn. Before 1986, Lakeview Inn was known as the Lake View House Hotel. This change in name and owner allowed the inn to modernize, while respecting the historical aspect of the building.
Today, Lakeview Inn offers 28 rooms and studios, furnished and decorated with taste. And since the owner is keen on history and antiques, you won’t be surprised to find a touch of passion here and there. Each room has unique hand-made furniture, and almost everywhere in the inn you can see photographs showing the evolution of the building throughout the centuries. Lodging is of a very high standard, and the four stars it received as well as its first place at the 2002 Eastern Townships Grands Prix du tourisme are there to prove it.
The equipment found in the rooms and the studios are suited for business travelers as well as families on vacation or for a romantic excursion with the loved one. The telematics outlet will please clients on their business stay, while the television and the radio provide relaxing moments to everyone. The garden-terrace is also a sought-after place for those who want to unwind. On a very warm summer day, the water of the outdoor pool will certainly help you cool down. The central air conditioning will do the same, but inside.
To end this delightful day, Lakeview Inn invites you to step inside its English pub. The warm atmosphere of the woodwork will offer you a relaxing time. To sign a contract with a client, to discuss with your friends or to spend some good times with the loved one, the pub is the ideal warm-up to a tasty meal. The local and international beers, as well as the coffees and iced cappuccinos have the place of honour. After the aperitif, you can enter the four-diamond dining room of Lakeview Inn. Your taste buds will be delighted by the dishes served, and since you are in Knowlton, Lac Brome, you will not be surprised to be served a duck-based dish… To accompany your meal, let us suggest you one of the wines from the cellar, and as a liqueur, choose a delicious port.
The many infrastructures of Lakeview Inn allow more than lodging and catering. In fact, the inn prides itself on offering the latest technology and has four conference rooms that can welcome between 5 and 225 people. In addition, these rooms are useful when it is time to celebrate a special event, whether it is a birthday, a graduation or a wedding. The bucolic gardens of Lakeview Inn will allow you to take the best pictures of the day. And whatever the occasion, the qualified and professional staff will help you plan your event in the finest details, while in the kitchen, a menu adapted to your needs will be prepared with care. Have a nice stay with us! |
