NORTH HATLEY, Quebec, July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Manoir Hovey, a five-star luxury resort in the Quebec countryside, has been ranked among the best hotels in the world by the readers ofTravel + Leisure magazine.

The romantic Relais & Chteaux resort on the shores of Lake Massawippi appears as one of only three Canadian hotels on the list of Top Hotels in the World. The year-round destination also was named the #2 resort in Canada. The winners were recently announced as part of Travel + Leisure's 2017World's Best Awards.

"I'm very proud of our entire team and thankful to our guests and the readers of Travel + Leisure for their support," said Jason Stafford, Manoir Hovey's managing director.

They can also feast on new flavors in the renovated Tap Room Pub, which introduced a new bistro menu, as well as a seasonal Sugar Shack concept featuring flavors of maple, as well as birch syrup made from tapping Manoir Hovey trees.

Chef Francis Wolf's innovative cuisine continues to earn him accolades. He was named Young Talent of the Year 2017 by Gault & Millau in the organization's first gastronomic guide focusing on Quebec. A part of the Manoir Hovey team since 2002, his bold, terroir-driven cuisine features flavors of the season, from wild mushrooms and other foraged edibles in the summer to free-range poultry and fowl in the fall.
