OUR HISTORY
GROUP GERMAIN HOTELS IS A QUÉBEC CITY FAMILY-OWNED
BUSINESS THAT WAS ESTABLISHED MANY YEARS AGO BY
VICTOR AND HUGUETTE GERMAIN.
It all started in 1957 when the Germains
became the owners of a convenience
store with a lunch counter. Soon after,
Victor and Huguette acquired another
establishment, this time a restaurant
located in a small shopping centre.
And a few years later they opened yet
another restaurant, Le Fiacre, which
became renowned in Québec City.
Victor acquired a residential building
in the mid-1970s and it was then that
he created his property management
business, called “Casot.”
Victor Germain set the tone for the
business with his financially successful
operations, including Le Fiacre
restaurant and many residential
and commercial buildings. Guided by
the same commitment to excellence,
Christiane and Jean-Yves, Victor
and Huguette Germain’s two eldest
children, developed original restaurant
concepts like Cousin Germain and
the Café Saint‑Honoré.

th e h is to r y of g r ou p g er m a in h ot el s
While in their early twenties, Christiane
and Jean-Yves Germain already showed
great leadership in the management
of establishments that were making
an impression on the Québec City scene.
In the 1980s, while on a trip to New York
City, Christiane and Jean-Yves fell in love
with Morgans Hotel. The legendary
institution with its innovative boutiquehotel concept captivated their interest.
Then and there they decided to open
their first hotel property.
In 1988, Christiane and Jean-Yves
inaugurated their very first hotel, which
they named Hôtel Germain-des-Prés.
It was the very first boutique-hotel in
4
g
Canada. It included Le Bistango
restaurant, successor to the famous Le
Fiacre restaurant. At the time, with its
bold and avant-garde concept, Hôtel
Germain-des-Prés quickly became a
resounding success! Its comfort, quality
and service garnered praise and the
enthusiasm of a dynamic business
clientele in touch with the latest trends.
The success continued. Other hotels
followed in Québec City, Montréal,
Toronto and Calgary. In 2007,
Group Germain Hotels began a brand
new adventure by launching Alt Hotels,
a pared-down, reasonably priced luxury
concept featuring modern designs.
Today the Germain family owns many hotels across Canada and is
increasingly recognized for its business acumen, innovation and concern
for offering the highest quality products and services. Every year, guests
spend 325,000 overnight stays in Group Germain Hotels properties, bringing
the total number of stays to nearly 4 million since the opening of the first
hotel in 1988. The company is even ranked as one of Canada’s 50 Best
Managed Companies and now employs close to 800 people. And the family
has grown: Huguette and Victor Germain’s grandchildren, Hugo and Marie
Pier and Clarah, are now working for the company! Since its start over 50
years ago, Group Germain Hotels has witnessed remarkable growth, which
will continue in leaps and bounds as it pursues its national expansion.

SUSTAINABILITY
From the environmentally
friendly building practices
we follow to the charitable
donations we make, from
the financial health of our
organisation to the training
programs we have
developed for our team,
each decision we make is
guided by the knowledge
that we are contributing to

WE CARE
ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENT
Montréal-based
LEMAYMICHAUD
Architecture Design
created all Alt Hotels
and Le Germain
Hotels. Our most
recent hotels are
designed and built
with careful attention
to environmental
conservation,
efficiency and
controls. For instance,
our most recent
projects feature
geothermal heating
and cooling as well
as energy-efficient
lighting systems.
Whenever possible,
we use products that
can be reused,
recharged or recycled,
and all our hotels
offer a smoke-free
environment.
WE SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES
We encourage local sourcing of our products and
services to give back to the communities where we do
business. We employ close to 800 people across
Canada and support hundreds of jobs indirectly
thanks to our local procurement policies and hotels
under construction.
Group Germain Hotels also supports the next
generation of hoteliers and encourages local designers
and artisans whenever possible. For example:
We support local hospitality schools and offer internships
in every one of our Alt and Le Germain hotels.
Le Germain Hotels staff wears local designer clothes created
by Marie Saint-Pierre and Bustle.
Artwork in all of our hotels is created by Canadian artists.
We support a number of local charities and events every year.

LE GERMAIN
HOTELS
Le Germain Hotels were founded on elegance and authenticity. Whether in Calgary,
Toronto, Montréal, Québec City or Charlevoix, staff at Le Germain properties have
a single goal: to make every person feel like a treasured guest in an environment
where comfort and design go hand in hand, and where personalized yet discreet
service is of the utmost importance.

LE GERMAIN HOTELS
PIONEERED THE BOUTIQUE-HOTEL
CONCEPT IN CANADA
BOUTIQUE-HOTELS ARE DESIGNED TO SATISFY CUSTOMERS
PASSIONATE ABOUT DESIGN, QUALITY AND COMFORT.
Contrary to what the name implies, a boutique-hotel is not a hotel where one
can find boutiques. We often speak of the feeling when we want to describe
boutique-hotels, but the concept is defined mainly by:
Personalized service – a key difference – every need is anticipated and clients
are treated as guests.
The average size of the establishment – generally less than 150 rooms.
Architecture and design – unique architecture, luxurious, stylish and simple design with an attention to detail and decor that offers an intimate atmosphere.
An urban location – hotels located in major cities and in vibrant and trendy neighbourhoods.
“We provide personalized
services and quality.
Authenticity is reflected
in what we are
and what we offer.”
— Christiane Germain
24
g
BOUTIQUE-HOTEL
CONCEPT
Emerging during the 1980s in New York City, the boutique-hotel niche market
experienced a boom in the 1990s. This type of hotel fills the gap in the market left
by the standardization typical of large hotel chains. In contrast to these, each
boutique establishment develops a unique style based on a concept
and a personality of its own. Each Le Germain Hotel bears a distinctive signature,
that is to say, each has a different lobby in terms of the look and the architecture.
It’s the same for the rooms and public areas in the hotels.
25
“For us, each
establishment is unique.
Each has a different
location, clientele, design
and environment.”
— Marie Pier Germain
