Hôtel Le Principal
Two pools and a short walk into downtown Granby
About this stay
Le Principal covers the basics that a Granby weekend actually needs: two swimming pools, a location near enough to downtown to walk to a shopping centre, restaurants and bars, and rooms with free WiFi throughout. The property sits close to Granby Zoo and to the bike trail network that runs through town, which makes it a workable stop for cyclists doing the Estriade or Granbyenne without needing a hotel built around the sport. Meeting and banquet space adds a second use case beyond leisure travel, and the pet-friendly policy covers travelers passing through the Eastern Townships with a dog. Nothing here is styled as a destination in itself, but the walk into the historic core and the two pools cover most of what a short downtown stay in Granby calls for.
- Two swimming pools
- Downtown Granby
- Pet-friendly
- Bike trail access
Our take
This suits travelers who want a straightforward downtown base within walking distance of restaurants and bars, without paying for a spa wing they won't use. Cyclists on the regional rail-trail network get real value from the central location. Anyone planning a full spa evening or wanting a view room should look at Granby's other two hotels instead, since Le Principal keeps its amenities to the two pools and doesn't run a spa.
- ✓Walk into downtown for dinner rather than driving, the shopping centre and restaurants sit a short distance away
- ✓Ask about bike storage if you're arriving on the Estriade or Granbyenne trail, the front desk can point you to it
- ✓Book the meeting space early if traveling for a group event, it doubles as banquet space and fills for local functions
