Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu Turns 110, Offers Rooms for $110 a Night

Where: 181 Rue Richelieu, La Malbaie, QC, Canada, G5A1X7

Another gimmicky hotel rate! Although, this takes place in Quebec and it's a Fairmont Hotel so it's a little pricier (and Frencher) than other room rate gimmicks we've seen as of late.

The stunning, cliffside Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu is turning 110 years old and to celebrate, the hotel is offering rates for--you guessed it--$110 a night. While the stays are good through December 22, you must book between October 12 to 31. The rate is also open based on availability. The hotel suggests you call in person at 1-888-403-9199 to book. Normally, rooms are about $170CAD a night.

So what do you get for $110 a night? Well, nothing really besides a room which is non-refundable and full pre-payment is required.

Cubicle Dreamin' :: Lofty Dreams in Canada

Where: 1 Rue Des Carrieres, Quebec, QC, Canada, G1R4P5

Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven KatieK fantasizes aboot Canada. Enjoy.

Oh, Canada. Land where yaks run free (right?), maple syrup falls like the Dow, and disenchanted liberal and conservative Americans alike can find a common escape route. And who needs to wait until Nov. 4th to determine who's heading north? Hell, I'm ready now. (From my outpost in Washington, D.C., I'm as fed-up with the election as anyone--except maybe Joe the Plumber from last night's debate.)

That's why this cubicle dreamer is setting her sights on Quebec City's Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. While the rest of you schmucks wait out America's return to the proverbial City on a Hill, I'll be sleeping pretty in a dreamy storybook castle, lofted high on a St. Lawrence River bluff.
