Manoir Richelieu

[1] About 150 kilometres (93 mi) northeast of Quebec City, the hotel sits on a cliff along the St Lawrence River.

[3] U.S. president William Taft opened the hotel's 27 hole[3] golf course in 1925 which was designed by British architect Herbert Strong.

He ran the hotel with a private ownership group until 1975 after which it was sold to the Quebec provincial government and then to Raymond Malenfant in 1985.

In 1998, Loto-Québec partnered with Canadian Pacific Hotels (which became Fairmont) and the Solidarity Fund QFL to acquire the Manoir Richelieu.

Malenfant refused to recognize the union for the then 300-350 employees at the hotel, claiming he had bought the building, not the collective agreement.
