Hotels in Chibougamau are few, and most sit along the same main road. This guide covers every Chibougamau hotel, motel, inn, resort, and campground we could confirm in Quebec’s Eeyou Istchee Baie-James region. We also name places the web still lists but we could not verify. We do not quote rates because they change daily. Phone ahead before you book.

Hotels in Chibougamau on 3e Rue
Most lodging in town lines 3e Rue, the main street. Four of the properties below stand within about 500 house numbers of each other. Staying here puts you close to the shops, the restaurants, and the taxi stands. Each listing comes from the Quebec tourism directory and at least one other source. Check-in and check-out times were not published for any of them, so ask when you call.

Resorts, Chalets, and Campgrounds Near Chibougamau
Not every visitor wants a standard room. Chibougamau sits among lakes and forest, so cabins and campsites suit many trips. Both places below lie on the shore or near the water.
Centre de Villégiature Marina Chibougamau
This lakeside resort sits at 7 Chemin du Lac-Chibougamau Sud, Chibougamau, QC G8P 2K6. The tourism directory lists 9 chalets and 10 campsites. The resort stays open all year and offers a winter campground.
Services include a restaurant, a marina, a boat ramp, and a reception desk. Guests can rent boats, kayaks, pedal boats, and stand-up paddle boards. The listing also names ATV and snowmobile trails.

Hôtel Opémiska in Chapais
Chapais is a separate town, and this hotel sits there. Hôtel Opémiska is at 101 boulevard Springer, Chapais, QC G0W 1H0. Call 418-745-2828 or toll-free 855-745-2828. An accessibility agency lists 13 rooms, with one accessible room set up for guests with disabilities. The tourism directory says the hotel opened in June 2013.
We did not find a sourced drive time from Chapais to Chibougamau, so check a map before you book. Chapais has hiking on Mont Springer, a loop trail around Lac Campbell, and a town park with an artificial waterfall. The local village network also lists a boreal forest oil distillery tour. Choose Chapais if you want a quiet base and plan to drive in each day.
Places We Removed or Could Not Verify
The older version of this page listed two properties we could not confirm. We dropped Gîte du Lac Parent in Saint-Félicien and Auberge Tournebœuf in Saint-Honoré. Neither appeared in the Quebec tourism directory for this region, and both lie far outside Chibougamau. If you want a bed and breakfast near Lac-Saint-Jean, search for one directly.
Auberge Le Beau Séjour in Chibougamau is also off the list. The Cégep de Saint-Félicien bought the building, and a local news report from September 2025 says the college plans to turn the inn into a residence for students and teachers. The report expects 16 tenants starting in January. Do not plan a stay there.
One more name may confuse you. A business directory lists Motel Harricana at 1000 3e Rue with 100 guest rooms and a restaurant. We found no tourism listing for this motel and no phone number, so we cannot confirm the property is open to the public. Ask before you drive there.
How to Choose a Chibougamau Hotel or Motel
Start with your reason for the trip. Business travelers and groups usually pick Hôtel Chibougamau because of the meeting rooms and the on-site dining. Drivers who want an easy stop often pick Relais Lac Caché on Route 167. Guests who want a small inn pick Auberge Boréale. Anglers, paddlers, and snowmobilers should look at the Marina resort.
Next, check the season. Winter brings snowmobilers and festival crowds. A travel wiki lists a ten-day winter festival called Folifrets from late February to mid-March. Summer brings campers and anglers. Book earlier in those periods because the town has few rooms.
Last, ask about pets, parking, and breakfast. Many properties here allow pets for a fee and offer free outdoor parking. Breakfast terms vary, so ask what is served and when.
Things to Do Near Hotels in Chibougamau
A travel wiki lists these options in and around town. Centre de plein air du Mont Chalco offers skiing, snowboarding, and 29 km of cross-country trails. Club de Golf de Chibougamau has nine holes and opens from mid-May to mid-September. You can walk, bike, and fish at Lake Gilman. Bolorama has eight lanes of bowling, and a mini golf course has 18 holes.
Two Cree communities lie nearby according to the same wiki. Oujé-Bougoumou is 47 km west of town, and Mistissini is 86 km north. Check opening hours and any visitor rules before you go, since they can change.
Getting to Chibougamau
Most guests drive. Route 167 runs in from Lac-Saint-Jean, and Route 113 comes in from western Quebec. A travel wiki says Autobus Maheux runs a bus twice a week from Val-d’Or, with a stop in Senneterre. Air Creebec flies from Montréal to Chibougamau/Chapais Airport, which sits about 18 km southwest of town, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Schedules change, so confirm them with the carrier. The wiki says the town has no public transit, and taxis work 3e Rue.
If you fly in, arrange a ride in advance. Ask your hotel whether a shuttle runs from the airport.
What We Checked
We compared the Quebec tourism directory, a second Quebec listing site, an accessibility agency, a municipal village network, a travel wiki, and a local news report. We confirmed address and listed amenities for each property above. We did not confirm check-in times, check-out times, or current rates. Directories may lag behind real changes, so a phone call is the safest last step.
