My unpaid review of Le Westin Mont-Tremblant

When I first wrote about the Tremblant Westin hotel (a.k.a. The/Le Westin Mont-Tremblant), our kids were just four and six years old. It was the first hotel we stayed at in a place that would — during the course of the following decade — become like a second home to us.

But, special memories aside, of all the hotels in Tremblant we’ve tried, it also happens to be the property that’s grown with us the best. From the early years when the four of us could fit in a room with a king bed and pullout sofa for the littles to share to this winter, with our 15-year-old daughter and 17.5-year-old-almost-man son in tow, which required a two-bedroom suite, Le Westin has seen us through every stage.

Le Westin Mont-Tremblant: my unpaid review

There are so many different things people want when considering hotel reviews and I’m going to try to make this review as broad as possible so it doesn’t matter if you’re visiting with a group of friends, a small or large family, or a romantic escape — this should help. I’ll cover it all in several parts:

• Location
• Rooms
• Ski access
• Food & drink
• Amenities (pool, hot tub, gym and concierge)

You might also want to check out my OG review of the Tremblant Westin hotel, especially if you’re interested in seeing some of the “before” photos, but I ultimately decided to write an entirely new post because the hotel renovations have changed SO MUCH of the property.

The Westin Mont-Tremblant location

Le Westin Mont-Tremblant offers one of the most unique locations in the Tremblant village — and no other accommodations in Mont-Tremblant can, to my knowledge, make the same claim: there are three distinct doors from which you can enter and exit to different sections of the village. The front doors, where you’ll drive up to unload your luggage and hand your keys to the valet, are in the lower village; the doors on the third floor, where the ski lockers are, take you into the upper village; and the newest doors, with direct access to the hotel’s main restaurant, Léo Boire + Manger, exit to a mid-village zone.

No matter which doors you use, you’re close to restaurants, shops and activities that include the village waterpark, laser tag and escape rooms. The main benefit comes once the cabriolet “people-mover” closes for the night and the temperatures drop even more during the already-chilly winter months — you can start your après-ski festivities in the upper village and then make your way to the lower village for dinner, with no need to walk all the way back up the village road to return to your cozy bed; just use different doors depending on where you end up.

The rooms

Aside from the new lobby at the Westin Mont-Tremblant, which still boasts a roaring fire and lots of different areas to meet up with a larger group or take a rest at the end of the day as you warm up after being out on the slopes, the rooms are where you really feel the biggest impact of the multimillion-dollar renovations.

They’re bright and modern while still offering home-away-from home comfort and there are nine different room categories available:

1. Traditional with one queen bed.
2. Traditional with two queen beds.
3. Traditional with one king bed.
4. Deluxe with one king bed and one sofabed.
5. A one-bedroom suite with one king bed and one sofabed.
6. A larger one-bedroom suite with one king bed and one sofabed.
7. A one-bedroom suite with two queen beds and a one sofabed.
8. A two-bedroom suite with one king bed, two queen beds and one sofabed.
9. A two-bedroom penthouse suite with one king bed, two queen beds and one sofabed.

And the bonus? There’s at least one fireplace in every room, no matter the category. Some rooms are also accessibility-friendly. Technically, depending on the ages of the children in your booking, the two bedroom suites could accommodate up to a family with eight people. Rates are pretty good, too, with midweek February* stays — during peak ski season — starting at $399 (plus taxes and parking) for a traditional room with a queen bed and heading north from there until you hit the two-bedroom penthouse suite at just under $1,100 per night. This drops to $279+ after March Break.

Keep in mind that if you choose a suite with a kitchen, you’ll save A LOT of money by eating breakfast and most dinners in your room, so make sure you balance the extra cost of a kitchen-outfitted suite with what three meals a day in the village will run you even with a cheaper room.

The kitchen facilities, in tandem with suites that have enough bed configurations to comfortably house a group or family with FIVE adult-sized humans (two in the king, one in each queen and one on the sofabed), is what really sets Le Westin Mont-Tremblant apart from every other hotel in the Tremblant pedestrian village. There are a couple of condo-style properties that also have multiple bedrooms and in-room kitchens, but they don’t function like proper hotels in other ways, with daily housekeeping, onsite dining options and additional amenities. For families like ours — with two teenagers who absolutely cannot share a bed, who want to be able to prepare and enjoy meals in our room but also like the flexibility of onsite dining, and who also need a gym and want to relax in a hot tub after a day on the slopes — the Westin really stands alone.

Note that the photos on the hotel website are not reflective of the renovated rooms (yet), nor do they mention which rooms have kitchen appliances and dining areas unless you click into each room description. And despite the two-bedroom suites having basically full kitchens, those are not listed in the descriptions at all. Hopefully, these updates will all be online once the renovations are 100 per cent complete.

Ski access

As I mentioned, there are ski lockers on the Westin Mont-Tremblant’s third floor. After check-in, the bellman will help take your luggage to your room and also guide you to your designated area on the third floor, handing you the combinations to the locks that will keep your skis and poles secure during your visit, when they aren’t in use.

We have stayed at a number of the Tremblant village hotels and only two — one with its own onsite ski valet at the foot of a run and one that’s situated right beside the gondola — get you closer to the lifts. Le Westin’s third floor exit is a mere two- or three-minute walk from the gondola. Now, with small children who cannot yet manage their equipment, you might want to keep your things at the public ski valet beside the gondola (a small per-person charge applies), but for us, it was no big deal taking our skis and poles to and from the mountain. It’s a very quick and easy walk when everyone carries their own things — a nice perk that offsets some of the other challenges that come with parenting teenage children.

Food & drink

There are two spots at the Westin Mont-Tremblant where you can get some bites and whet your whistle: Léo Boire + Manger and Margaux.

Léo Boire + Manger

Restaurateur powerhouse duo Oliver & Bonacini have done it again with Léo Boire + Manger, which opened in early 2025. Open for brunch and dinner, it transforms from casual breakfast spot with people eating in ski boots and snowpants to fine dining at dinner.

There’s a gorgeous bar area and a little fireside nook on one level plus a long dining room flanked by a glassed-in wine cellar on another. The design team knocked it out of the park with this space and the menu is just as sophisticated. For brunch, the omelette was a standout; a gentleman dining beside us heard me wondering aloud about it and described it as “French onion soup in an omelette” — and he was bang on. Look for the dishes that are served with the house-made sourdough toast and duck fat-fried potatoes; both are outstanding.

Brunch service wasn’t quite as strong as dinner, or perhaps our evening server was just so excellent that it would be hard to beat anyway. But dinner itself is really where Léo shines, so make a reservation ahead of your stay and do not miss out. Start with a cocktail (my recommendation: the Cabin Ember, made with Crown Royal blackberry whisky, amaro averna and cinzano rosso is about as perfectly balanced and joyful as cocktails come) while you peruse the dinner menu.

It’s hard to take a wrong turn with this menu, so don’t be afraid to take a risk on a new-to-you dish or ingredient. My favourite starters include the cream of mushroom soup, beet salad, grilled octopus and seared foie gras. For mains, my son raved about the steak frites (and he’s a true steak guy with discerning taste) and I tried some of my daughter’s yummy poutine, which is so enormous that you could easily share it as a main between two people. Big B and I both ordered the beef wellington; it’s my first-ever beef wellington and, though I thought it was excellent, I had nothing with which I could compare it. Big B, however, has enjoyed this dish all over the world and said this was his favourite.

We also ordered the mashed potatoes and Quebecois mushrooms as extra sides and both WOWed us. I’d order them again next time, without question. Desserts are another place where every choice is a good one and I can’t even choose a clear winner!

Margaux

Margaux is essentially an upscale lobby bar. Every room receives a $15 coupon to use there for each night of the stay, so our three-night visit netted us $45 worth of coupons; just note that you can only use one each day — don’t save them up like we did thinking you can use them all at once.

Some of the food and drink offerings on the menu overlap with what you’ll find at Léo, but Margaux also has some of its own fare like a lovely charcuterie board and their own snacks and desserts. Sit down for a drink and lite bite or grab something ready-made for a day out on the slopes — Margaux offers convenience both in terms of its central location within the hotel as well as its menu options.

Miss Q had a really good berry smoothie here that could easily work as a quick breakfast and we tried a couple of cocktails that we’d seen on the Léo menu but didn’t have with our dinner. Truth be told, they still didn’t compare to that Cabin Ember! But the vibe was great — it’s lively but not so loud you can’t have an intimate conversation, even sitting at the bar.

We’re now far too old for some of the Tremblant village’s most notorious spots for après bevvies, so Margaux hit the spot. The best part? We didn’t even have to go outside.

Amenities

Let’s chat about the pool, hot tub, gym and hotel concierge — because the Westin Mont-Tremblant has it all.

In the hotel

I’m not sure if the outdoor pool and hot tub will eventually be part of the renovations, but — for now — they seem to be the same as our previous visits. And, frankly, they’re great as is. Both are heated nicely and easy to access through both the gym doors and a set of doors off the lobby near Margaux — and the whole outdoor space is licensed if you want to make a pitstop at Margaux, by the way. The patio and water features are especially lovely at night all lit up, but we focused our visit this time on the late-afternoon post-ski timeframe. It was never so busy that you couldn’t find a spot to sit in the hot tub but also rarely so empty that it didn’t feel like an après moment. (I barely had an opportunity to snap a pic with no one but Big B in it!) The only thing that could have made it better was if Margaux’s servers came out to proactively take drink orders!

The gym is all new — and beautiful. There are plenty of cardio machines and lots of stations to do a full-body circuit. I didn’t spend any time in there (skiing is enough of a workout for me!), but my gym-going son went every day and seemed pretty happy with the set-up.

Through the concierge

Le Westin Mont-Tremblant’s dedicated concierge is available to help every guest with a number of things. For example:

• Pre‑ordered amenities and curated welcome treats — ranging from small welcome treats to elaborate setups. Highlights include a helium balloon bouquet (12) for $50*; a mixed floral bouquet for $60 -$200 or even a dozen long‑stem roses for $120 if you’re celebrating something (or someone) special
• Cakes and pastries
• Wine and artisanal platters featuring Québec cheeses, curated on a bespoke basis
• Ski passes and activity bookings — they can help co-ordinate lift tickets, rentals, spa appointments, activities like snowshoeing and more
• Arranging a Ski Butler for in‑room fittings, which is a popular service for families and longer stays. The Ski Butler comes directly to your room for fittings and both delivers and collects the equipment. Pricing will obviously depend on the equipment type, but the in‑room convenience is included in the service model
• Transportation arrangements — think airport transfers, private drivers, shuttles and taxi bookings, completely tailored to your travel plans

So, while a Westin property anywhere is typically a four-star stay, these extra touches — especially the Ski Butler! — really elevate it.

We experienced only two downsides during our stay:

1. One was our breakfast server pouring our coffees before he brought cream and sugar to the table, which meant by the time those arrived, our coffee wasn’t as hot as we’d have liked.
2. The other was a broken elevator, and with only two for the hotel, it was noticeably absent but not terrible. It’ll probably be fixed before you even get there.

Yup — that’s it. Otherwise, Le Westin Mont-Tremblant was perfection.

HAPPY TRAVELS!
