Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations

Built in 2008, the Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations offers an exceptional concept inspired by First Nations culture and its relationship with the world—nature, spirituality, and mythology. This boutique hotel features 79 rooms, including 4 luxury suites, as well as several reception halls that can accommodate over 200 guests. It is the ideal place to host weddings, conferences, and special events in a natural setting with authentic character. Seven of Quebec’s eleven First Nations are represented among the staff. The Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations is 100% owned by First Nations.

In addition to offering 4-star service, guests can savor boreal cuisine at its restaurant, La Traite, which showcases a menu inspired by hunting, fishing, and foraging. Its Wendat Chef, Anora Lia Collier, invites you to experience a gastronomic journey filled with unique textures and flavors.

The hotel is also home to the Huron-Wendat Museum, which presents Wendat culture through its permanent exhibition Wendat Endi’, We the Wendat. Visitors can also discover the cultures of other nations through temporary exhibits or learn more about Wendat traditions in the traditional longhouse, Ekionkiestha.

The Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations recently completed a major renovation project of over 14 million dollars, including the construction of a new wing, the creation of 24 additional rooms and suites, the modernization of the three-story glass atrium overlooking the Akiawenrahk River, new meeting rooms, refreshed outdoor landscaping, and upgrades to the restaurant La Traite. The rooms and suites also feature new décor and furnishings that reflect both elegance and tradition.

A visit to the Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations is a journey of discovery, an unparalleled experience in an inspiring environment where the history and modernity of the First Nations come together. It is a refined, authentic, gastronomic, and immersive escape in the heart of an ancestral Indigenous territory rich in cultural traditions, creating a timeless union between the roots of the past and the allure of the present.
