3 Best Hotels in Havre St. Pierre, Quebec

A neighborhood house with a country home feel is an apt description for this inn, within walking distance to the beach. Rooms range from colorful craft quilt to pastel country house style. No matter the interior design, veteran innkeepers maintain orderly rooms and clean, modern bathrooms equipped with hair dryers and bathrobes. Breakfast choices may be as light as fruit and yogurt or full, hot entrées with juice and coffee. A restaurant is nearby. There is a minimum 30-day stay required. Phone for the monthly rate.

A seat on the deck at this snug cottage puts you at sea level—the St. Lawrence River is right there at the back door—and miles of beach for strolling or whale-watching stretch to the left and right. One room is in a tiny house with its own private terrace. Here you get solitude, comfy beds, and a plentiful breakfast featuring the owners' homemade jams and caramel just five minutes from town.

Rooms are small but neat and well-appointed, and the no-frills atmosphere is warmed by towels sculpted into the shape of swans that attendants leave “floating” on made beds. Breakfast is humble—toast and cereal for the most part—and the breakfast area is equally uninspired. Both suites and standard rooms are available. The hotel also operates a 12-room hostel with shared bathrooms near the entrance to downtown.
