Chambly Hotels: Where to Stay in Quebec

Hotels in Chambly are few. This Quebec town on the Richelieu River has a small group of bed and breakfasts and one motel, and the larger hotels sit in nearby towns. We checked each name from the old version of this guide against current listings. Several did not hold up. This updated guide shows what we could confirm, what we could not, and how to choose a base for Fort Chambly and the Chambly Canal. We do not quote rates, because they change daily.

Where to Stay in Chambly, Quebec

Hotels in Chambly: What Is Actually There

Many travel sites show long lists of Chambly hotels. Most of those lists mix in places from Longueuil, Brossard, Boucherville and Montreal. When we filtered for properties with a street address in Chambly, only a few remained. All of them sit on or near Avenue Bourgogne, the main commercial street, or on a nearby side street.

The three lodgings with a Chambly address on TripAdvisor are A la Claire Fontaine, Motel Mon Repos and L’Air du Temps. Booking.com and Cozycozy also list one short-term rental suite called Simplement l’Harmonie. Below, we give the details we could source for each. We also list the gaps, so you know what to confirm by phone before you book.

A la Claire Fontaine Bed and Breakfast

A la Claire Fontaine is a bed and breakfast, or gite, at 2130 Avenue Bourgogne, Chambly, Quebec J3L 1Z7. TripAdvisor and KAYAK both list this address. TripAdvisor shows the place as 0.3 miles from the Chambly Canal, the closest lodging on its list.

KAYAK lists free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, with check-in after 3:00 PM and check-out before 12:00 PM. Only one site gave us those times, so treat them as unconfirmed. Some booking sites add the words Spa to the name. We could not confirm a spa or hot tub from any source we trust, so ask before you plan around one.

TripAdvisor marks the listing as unclaimed by the owner and does not say whether the property is open now. The review we saw is from 2017. Call or message the host to confirm rooms are available for your dates. We found no phone number we could verify, so use the contact form on your booking site.

Motel Mon Repos

Motel Mon Repos is the only motel we found with a Chambly address. TripAdvisor places the motel at 1860 Avenue Bourgogne, Chambly, Quebec J3L 1Z3, about 0.5 miles from the canal. A flower delivery directory lists 1856 Avenue Bourgogne instead. The two numbers sit side by side on the same street, so confirm the exact address before you drive there.

We found no room descriptions, no amenity list and no verified phone number. We also could not confirm the motel is open today. Motels near Chambly are worth a call if you want a simple, low-cost stop for a bike trip or a drive from Montreal. Ask about parking, room types, pets and check-in hours when you call.

L’Air du Temps

L’Air du Temps is listed on TripAdvisor at 124 Rue Martel, Chambly, Quebec J3L 1V3, about 1.1 miles from the canal. A reviewer described the place as a bed and breakfast. This is a single-source listing, so we class the property as unconfirmed.

A search for the name returned mostly French properties with the same name, and we found no Chambly website. If you want to stay here, confirm the address, the opening status and the room types by phone or message before you rely on the listing.

Simplement l’Harmonie: A Private Suite

Booking.com and Cozycozy both list Simplement l’Harmonie in Chambly. The listing describes a basement suite with one bedroom, one bathroom, a private entrance, a garden terrace with a barbecue and parking with an electric vehicle outlet. The suite sleeps two guests.

This is a private rental, not a hotel. There is no front desk, so arrange your arrival time with the host. The Cozycozy listing says the suite is near Fort Chambly, a bike path and waterfront dining, but we did not verify the distances.

Auberge Handfield: The Nearest Full-Service Inn

If you want a full inn with a restaurant and spa, Auberge Handfield is the best-documented option near Chambly. The official site gives the address as 555 Richelieu, Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu, Quebec J0L 2E0. The old version of our guide placed this inn in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, which was wrong. The inn stands in Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu, a different town up the river.

The official site lists a restaurant called Le Restaurant Ancestral with a Sunday brunch, a spa called Spa Les Thermes, a marina, a sugar shack and event facilities. The site says the inn has 20 guest rooms. A booking site lists 25 rooms across two floors, so the counts differ. Ask the front desk which number is current.

The booking site also lists check-in from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The same page says the front desk is staffed Thursday to Sunday and asks late arrivals to contact the inn in advance. The page also lists a seasonal outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi, free parking and an electric vehicle charging point. These details come from one booking page, so confirm them with the inn.

We found no distance from the inn to Chambly in any source, so we do not give one. Check a map and plan for a car trip. The inn works best as a quiet stay with dinner on site, not as a base for walking to Fort Chambly.

Other Hotels Near Chambly

Larger chain hotels sit in the towns around Chambly. A booking site lists Quality Inn Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu with an indoor pool, a fitness center and free breakfast. The same site lists Holiday Inn Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu Congres with an indoor pool, a restaurant and a fitness center. The site also lists Hotel Rive Gauche in Beloeil with a seasonal outdoor pool, a restaurant and a 24-hour fitness center.

Each of these comes from one listing page, so we class all three as unconfirmed. We do not give distances. Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu sits at the far end of the Chambly Canal, so the two towns share one water route, but the drive time depends on your route.

The nearest motels and inns on TripAdvisor’s list near the canal also include Motel Saint Bruno in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and Hotel Le Mirage in Saint-Basile-le-Grand. Camping Lac du Repos, Camping Joie de Vivre and Camping Auclair appear as campgrounds in the same list. We did not verify any of them beyond the listing.

Old Listings We Dropped

The earlier version of this guide named five properties. We removed all of them, for the reasons below.

Auberge Le Richelieu and Manoir de Cavagnac. We searched for both names and found no current booking page, official site or tourism listing. We could not confirm either exists today, so we dropped them.

Hotel Chateauguay and Quality Hotel Centre-Ville in Saint-Hyacinthe. We found no source for either property. Both towns also lie well away from Chambly, so they do not suit a trip focused on the town. We dropped both.

Auberge Handfield stays, with a corrected town and updated details above. If you saw the old text, please note the fix.

Things to Do Near Your Hotel in Chambly

Fort Chambly National Historic Site stands at 2 Richelieu Street, Chambly, Quebec J3L 2B9. Parks Canada lists interactive exhibits, an outdoor guided tour, animated workshops and a picnic area by the rapids. The Parks Canada page says the fort is closed for the season and plans to reopen in spring 2027. Call 1-888-773-8888 before you plan a visit.

The Chambly Canal National Historic Site runs nearly 20 km along the Richelieu River between Chambly and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Nine locks still work. The 2026 Parks Canada schedule says the site is open daily from sunrise to 11 PM, and the path is maintained from April 15 to November 15 each year. Lock hours change by date, so check the Parks Canada schedule if you plan to boat.

Cyclists will find three major paths in Chambly. The canal trail runs about 20 km to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu on paved and gravel sections. Another path links Longueuil to Chambly. A paved path on an old rail line runs about 40 km to Granby. The three meet at Parc des Ateliers, which has rest areas, parking and a market in warmer months. Avenue Bourgogne has shops, and bars and restaurants line the Parc de Frehel path with marina views.

How to Choose Where to Stay in Chambly

Start with your goal. If you plan to walk to the canal and the fort, pick a lodging on or near Avenue Bourgogne. A la Claire Fontaine and Motel Mon Repos both sit close to the canal by TripAdvisor’s measure. If you want a spa and a restaurant, look at Auberge Handfield and plan to drive. If you want a pool and breakfast, look at the larger hotels in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and confirm the details.

Next, check the season. The canal path and the lock service run on a seasonal calendar, and Fort Chambly is closed for now. A summer weekend trip will fill the few Chambly rooms fast, so book early and ask about cancellation terms.

Finally, call before you pay. Small properties may change owners, close for a season or stop taking bookings without updating every travel site. A short call confirms the address, the room type, parking and check-in time. This one step protects your trip more than any review score.

Getting to Chambly by Car

Parks Canada gives driving directions to Fort Chambly. From Montreal over the Champlain Bridge, take Highway 10 East to Exit 22 for Chambly and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Follow the Chambly signs to Fréchette Boulevard, turn right on Bourgogne Street, and the fort sits on your left shortly after the bridge.

From the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, the route is longer. Follow Taschereau Boulevard to Highway 116, then Highway 30 West to Exit 115. Turn left onto Road 112 East, then left on Fréchette Boulevard and right on Bourgogne Street. From Quebec City, take Highway 20 West to Exit 112, then turn left on Fréchette Boulevard and right on Bourgogne Street.

The fort has two visitor parking lots, P1 and P2, reached from Avenue Bourgogne. Fees apply. Ask your lodging about its own parking, since a car helps if you stay outside town.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked each Chambly address across at least two listing sites where possible. We checked Auberge Handfield against the official site and a booking page. We checked Fort Chambly and the canal against Parks Canada pages.

We could not confirm current opening status for A la Claire Fontaine, Motel Mon Repos or L’Air du Temps. We could not confirm phone numbers for any of the three. We did not verify distances between lodgings and attractions, apart from the TripAdvisor figures we name above. We state no prices anywhere in this guide.

Treat every detail here as a starting point. Confirm availability, address and policies with the property before you travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conclusion

Hotels in Chambly are few, so plan early and verify each detail. A la Claire Fontaine and Motel Mon Repos put you near the canal, while Auberge Handfield offers a full inn with a restaurant and spa a drive away. Call ahead, confirm the opening status, and pair your stay with the canal path and Fort Chambly when the fort reopens.
