Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations

Welcome to one of Canada's premier aboriginal tourism destinations, where visitors can experience warm First Nation hospitality. Spacious rooms (outfitted with real pelts) and river views await at this rural boutique hotel, restaurant, and museum complex in Wendake, a 20-minute drive north of the city. Dream catchers and vibrant paintings, all done by the Huron-Wendat people, adorn the walls, and entry to a traditional longhouse and the on-site museum, which is filled with traditional artifacts, is free for guests. The solid and elegant La Traite Restaurant (C$30) serves wild game, organic fare, and rare dishes, such as seal. At night, guests gather around a riverside fire pit that's just begging for s'mores and ghost stories. Soothing river sounds and woodsy landscaping make this the ideal spot for relaxation.
