Granby Hotels: Where to Stay in Quebec

Looking for hotels in Granby, Quebec, Canada? This town of the Eastern Townships is best known for the Granby Zoo, and a handful of hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts sit along rue Principale and nearby streets. We rebuilt this guide from tourism listings and hotel pages in November 2026. We kept the places we could confirm and dropped the ones we could not. We state no rates here, because prices change by date. Check them on the booking page before you commit.

Where to Stay in Granby: Our Verified Shortlist

How We Checked Hotels in Granby

We looked at the Eastern Townships tourism board listings, the Quebec accessibility group Keroul, the Route Verte cycling network, Quebec Vacances, and the hotels own sites. We also read two large booking sites for the full list of lodging names in town. A property earns a full write-up here only when at least two sources agree on its address and basic services.

Some details stayed out of reach. Most pages did not publish check-in and check-out times. Several listings also showed different phone numbers for the same hotel. Where we found a gap or a conflict, we say so, and we suggest a call to the front desk. This is the honest way to plan a stay, and Granby has enough choice to make the effort worthwhile.

Our original 2024 version listed five places. Two of them, a bed and breakfast called Gi’Temps couette et cafe and another called La Maison Collins, did not appear on any current listing we could reach. We removed both. We also removed the old claim of a Victorian mansion and private balconies, because no source backed those details.

Hotels in Granby on and Near Rue Principale

Rue Principale is the main road through Granby, and several hotels and motels line this road. Staying here puts you close to restaurants, shops and the road toward the zoo. The next sections cover each property we could confirm, in the order of how much we could verify.

Hotel Castel and Centre des congres: A Large Downtown Hotel in Granby

Hotel Castel stands at 901 rue Principale, Granby, Quebec J2G 2Z5. The Eastern Townships tourism board and the Keroul accessibility network both list this address. The phone number is 450-378-9071, with a toll-free line at 1-800-363-8953. The hotel has its own booking site at hotelcastel.ca.

The tourism board counts 136 units, made up of 129 rooms and 7 suites. Listed room features include air conditioning, a whirlpool, a microwave, a mini fridge, a telephone and a television. The hotel also runs a convention centre with 21 meeting rooms, so you may share the lobby with a conference or a wedding party on busy weekends.

Food is a strength. Three venues are listed: L’Emulsion for fine dining, Pub Le Parloir for local beer, and Resto Cafe for breakfast. Free outdoor parking and an electric vehicle charging station are listed too. The hotel site describes an exercise room, a children’s play area, and a heated outdoor pool. Our 2024 text said indoor pool. Current sources say outdoor, so we corrected this. A spa called Halta offers care and relaxation treatments.

The tourism board lists the Granby Zoo as 4 kilometres away. Keroul visited the hotel in 2019 and counted one fully accessible room and 16 partially accessible rooms. The main entrance has automatic doors, and the accessible bathroom has a roll-in shower. The pool has no adapted equipment, so guests with mobility needs should ask about pool access when they book.

We could not confirm check-in and check-out times. Call 450-378-9071 before you arrive, especially if you plan a late arrival.

Hotel Motel Granby: A Practical Pick for Cyclists

Hotel Motel Granby sits at 1085 rue Principale, Granby, Quebec J2J 1Z4. Both the Eastern Townships tourism board and the Route Verte cycling network list this address. The website is motelgranby.com. The two listings give different local phone numbers, 450-361-1112 and 450-378-6966. Both show the toll-free number 1-877-535-0535. Try the toll-free line first.

The tourism board lists 36 units, with 32 rooms and 4 suites, renovated in 2017. Rooms are listed with wireless internet, air conditioning, a whirlpool, a microwave, a mini fridge and a telephone. The property has an outdoor pool, free outdoor parking, a meeting room, and a breakfast service.

This motel holds the Bienvenue cyclistes certification. The Route Verte page lists a pump and tools for minor repairs, information on nearby cycling networks, secure locked bike storage with an electrical outlet, and a way to dry clothes. One-night stays are possible. If you ride the Route Verte through the Eastern Townships, this is one of the easiest places to stay in Granby.

The tourism board says the motel is in downtown Granby near the zoo. We found no sourced distance, so ask the front desk how long the trip takes from your door. Check-in and check-out times were not published.

Hotel Le Principal: Breakfast, Pool and Pet Friendly Rooms

Hotel Le Principal is at 700 rue Principale, Granby, Quebec J2G 2Y4, according to Quebec Vacances. The listed phone number is 1-800-267-8406, and the website is hotelleprincipal.com. We found this hotel on Quebec Vacances and on a large booking site, but only one page gave address details. Treat the address as confirmed by a single listing.

The listing shows internet access, a pet friendly policy, elevators, laundry, a business centre, ice and breakfast. A photo shows a room with two beds and an outdoor pool. A travel review site mentions free parking and restaurants reached from the lobby. One guest comment on the review site called the pool cold, so bring a flexible plan for swimming.

Pet friendly rules differ from hotel to hotel. Ask about pet fees and room types by phone. We did not find check-in times.

St-Christophe Hotel and Spa: Granby Hotel Beside Lac Boivin

St-Christophe Hotel and Spa is part of the Ascend Hotel Collection. Quebec Vacances gives the address as 255 rue Denison Est, Granby, Quebec J2H 2R4, and the phone as 450-405-4782. The website is hotelstchristophe.com. A travel review site also places this hotel in Granby beside Lac Boivin.

The listing describes a Nordic spa with saunas, hot and cold baths, and massage and aesthetic treatments. Guests also find an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and a sundeck, plus elevators, a bar, a boutique, a health centre and luggage storage. Bistro Le Piccolo serves Mediterranean style food, including Portuguese grilled dishes and tapas, with a lakeside terrace. The gardens overlook Lac Boivin.

The Quebec Vacances page calls the property partially accessible. A travel site notes the Nordic spa carries an extra charge, so ask what your room includes. We did not find room types or check-in times. Our 2024 text mentioned classic rooms and water views. We could confirm the lake view from the grounds only, so call before you book a room for the view.

Motel Bonsoir: A Roadside Motel in Granby With a Pool

Motel Bonsoir is at 1587 rue Principale, Granby, Quebec J2J 0S5, with the phone number 1-888-311-7947 and the website motelbonsoir.com. Quebec Vacances and a large booking site both list this motel in Granby.

We found no check-in times and no second detailed source, so call to confirm the room details.

More Places to Stay in Granby: Chains and Bed and Breakfasts

Two chain hotels appear in Granby listings. Holiday Inn Express Granby Northwest and Candlewood Suites Granby Northwest, both part of IHG, show up on a large booking site and on a travel review site. The review site lists parking, electric vehicle charging, dog friendly policies and pools for both. We could not reach their official pages, so we list them as single source properties. Confirm the details before you rely on them.

For a bed and breakfast, Magnolia bed and breakfast is listed at 180 rue Dufferin, Granby, J2G 4X3, on one booking site. Another listing shows La Maison Bradford with two units named La Tournesol and La Magnolia. A guesthouse called Une Fleur au Bord de l’Eau is listed at 90 rue Drummond. We confirmed none of these by phone or on an official site, so read recent guest reviews before you choose.

If you want a bed and breakfast with a historic feel, ask each host about the building and the breakfast. Small places often change owners and names.

Things to Do Near Your Granby Hotel

The Granby Zoo is the headline attraction. The zoo site describes three parks, which are the Animal Park, the Amazoo Water Park and the Amusement Park, with around 1,500 animals arranged by continent. The zoo calls itself open year round. The 2026 summer season has ended, and the winter season is set to reopen on December 26. The site also lists Halloween weekends and Zoo at Night evenings. Check the zoo calendar for hours before you plan your day.

The Eastern Townships tourism board also points to Bromont nearby, with cycling trails, golf, shows and the Musee du chocolat. The board lists Parc national de la Yamaska in Roxton Pond for cross country skiing, snowshoeing and tube sliding in winter. We found no sourced drive times for these places, so use a map app for your own route.

Our 2024 text mentioned a Miner’s Village and Mont Sacre-Coeur near Granby. We could not match either to a current Granby attraction, so we removed them.

How to Choose Between Granby Hotels

Start with your main reason for the trip. If you want a large hotel with a spa, several restaurants and accessible rooms, Hotel Castel has the most verified detail. If you ride a bike, Hotel Motel Granby has the Bienvenue cyclistes certification. If you want a Nordic spa and a lake setting, St-Christophe Hotel and Spa is the match.

Next, think about pets and parking. Hotel Le Principal lists a pet friendly policy. Hotel Castel lists free outdoor parking and an electric vehicle charging station. Several others list parking without further detail.

Finally, look at the season. Summer pools are outdoors at Hotel Castel, Hotel Motel Granby, Hotel Le Principal and Motel Bonsoir, so a winter trip changes what you can use. Winter brings the zoo reopening and snow sports, so book earlier for holiday weekends.

Getting to Granby and Booking Tips

We found no sourced details on bus, train or airport links, so we will not guess. Plan your route with a map app and check the zoo and your hotel for parking instructions. Most hotels on rue Principale list outdoor parking.

When you book, ask four questions. What are the check-in and check-out times? Is breakfast included in your rate? Is the pool open on your dates? Does the hotel allow your pet if you travel with one? Write down the answers or ask for an email confirmation. Use the Expedia link above to compare current rates across the hotels on this page.
