Château Albert

Top choice in New Brunswick


For complete immersion in Acadian culture, spend the night in a Historical Village – no TV and no phone, just 15 quiet rooms restored to their original 1909 splendor, complete with claw-foot tubs. The hotel bar pours local brews and Acadian cocktails. The original Albert stood on the main street in Caraquet until it was destroyed by fire in 1955.
