It was hard to find just the right word for the title of this review as Hotel Quintessence’ name does represent the standard of this hotel well but doesn’t also cover the warmth and serenity it exudes. We felt that Mont Tremblant is not only French speaking but really is very French in culture too , which made all the difference in our experience in staying at Hôtel Quintessence. The sense of professionalism in Hospitality of the staff was of a European standard but more than that was their charming nature - the first we have found since moving to Nth America When we arrived we were greeted at front door by the lovely Sebastian who also saw us off at the end of our stay and the most welcoming reception staff had our check-in processed super fast. All of the staff, from our first phone call to arrange skiing lessons to a possible cancellation (from our end,) were personable, polite and efficient. Of course, all of this was made extra fun by being greeted in French and then trying out our French in return. The location of the hotel is also perfect! Right on the lake and across the street from the upper end of the village - so 30 seconds away from everything but also not on top of the noise and activity of the village. Finally, the room and food which is most important in our eyes were exceptional!! Luckily for us we were upgraded from our suite to the Presidential Suite which had three fireplaces and an outdoor spa! Everyday the fires were restocked so we had plenty of wood to burn. The rooms were stunningly decorated in a traditional style but we’re clean and updated and everything was so comfy. Bottled water, Wine and Macaroons were waiting for us when we arrived and then the water and chocolates were delivered every evening after. Slippers and Robes were also provided. We ate Breakfast here most days and the Crispy French Toast was like nothing I have ever tasted before! The coffee, (espresso,) is actually good, too! My husband said the in-house smoked salmon was also the best he had ever had. We dined in for dinner the first night and it did not disappoint either. Our waitress was very nice and made our night all the better for it and our meals came right on time. Best of all, the Lava Cake actually was lava like in the middle much to my husband’s excitement - often they are overdone. I could say so much more about the lake views, skiing and other activities but you should check it out for yourself! I highly recommended Hôtel Quintessence!
Very Good
