Ermitage du Lac

Tremblant's Most Intimate Address

Mont-Tremblant has no shortage of large, amenity-stacked resort hotels, which is exactly what makes Ermitage du Lac stand out: it was built, and has stayed, small on purpose. Set between two lakes a short walk from the pedestrian village, the hotel holds 69 rooms and 47 suites across four floors, a fraction of the room count at the resort's bigger properties, and a 2020 renovation gave it a chic, contemporary look that reads more like a couples' boutique hotel than a convention-ready ski lodge.

Why It Works

We picked this one because Tremblant's hotel scene tends toward scale, and this property goes the other way deliberately. It markets itself as the resort's most intimate hotel, and the details back that up: a modest room count, a windowed conference space built for twenty rather than two hundred, and public spaces designed around quiet rather than a crowded apres-ski scene. For travellers who want Tremblant's slopes and village without the volume of its largest hotels, this is the property built specifically for that trade.

Why This Location

The hotel's setting between two lakes gives it a quieter, more scenic approach than a straight walk off the village square, while still landing just steps from Mont-Tremblant's pedestrian village and its restaurants, shops, and convention centre. In winter, that proximity means the slopes are a short transfer away with ski valet service handling the gear; in summer, the lakes themselves become the draw, with the village's golf courses and hiking trails close enough to reach without a car.

A Hotel Built for Two

Ermitage du Lac doesn't try to compete with Tremblant's larger resort hotels on amenity count, and that restraint is the point. The 2020 renovation leaned into a clean, contemporary look rather than a sprawling lobby or multiple restaurants, and most rooms come with a balcony or deck looking toward the lakes or the mountain, the kind of detail that rewards a couple settling in for a few quiet days rather than a large group filling a conference room. It is a hotel that reads as a retreat first and a resort base second, which is precisely the gap it fills in Tremblant's hotel landscape.

Ski In, Village Out

Winter guests get ski valet service and dedicated ski lockers, removing the usual hassle of hauling gear between room and slope, while the short walk to the pedestrian village keeps dinner and apres-ski options close without needing a car or a shuttle. The hotel's position between two lakes means the walk itself is part of the appeal rather than a stretch of parking lot, and come summer the same lakes turn the property into a quieter base for golf, hiking, and water activities once the snow is gone.

What to Know Before You Book

This is a small hotel by Tremblant resort standards, so anyone wanting a full-service spa, multiple restaurants, or a lively lobby scene should look at the resort's larger properties instead. What this one offers in exchange is quiet, a genuinely boutique feel, and a setting between two lakes that few other hotels in the village can match. It suits couples and smaller groups far better than large parties, and its size means booking ahead matters more here than at bigger neighbours.
