The owners
A story of friendship, first and foremost
Long before the renovations, the business plans, the budgets and the long days of management, there was a friendship.
Les Battures is the result of an entrepreneurial adventure carried by three partners who first learned to know one another, to trust one another and to grow together. Over the years, Simon-Olivier, Stéphanie and Any-Claude have shared far more than projects: successes, challenges, moments of doubt, ideas that were sometimes brilliant and sometimes a little wild, and above all an impressive number of coffees, dinners and conversations that ran much later than planned!
Like any good team, they don't always see things the same way. Thankfully. In fact, that's one of their greatest strengths. Where one sees an opportunity, another sees a risk. Where one dreams big, another builds the road to get there. The discussions can get lively and the opinions are firmly held, but one thing never changes: the deep respect they have for one another.
Over time, they learned that the finest companies aren't built on numbers or strategies alone; they're built with people at the centre of every decision. People who want to succeed together, who put their respective strengths in the service of a shared vision and who move forward convinced that the best projects are never built alone. Three different personalities, three ways of seeing the world, but one and the same drive: to build something they can be proud of, together!
That relationship of trust is reflected today in the culture of Les Battures. Here, employees aren't numbers. Guests aren't simply occupied rooms. Suppliers often become partners, and partners sometimes become friends.
Les Battures is therefore far more than a hotel. It's the reflection of a friendship, a mutual trust and a shared vision: to create lively, warm and authentic places where people feel at home the moment they arrive.
Co-owner and Director of Finance
Simon-Olivier Côté
An entrepreneur at heart and a natural captain at the helm, Simon-Olivier is the one who turns ideas into concrete projects. Always on the move, always available and rarely short on energy, he watches over the finances as closely as the growth of the businesses.
Loyal to his team and deeply attached to the people around him, he has that rare ability to stay the course even when the seas turn a little rougher. If Les Battures keeps moving forward, it's in large part thanks to his unshakeable faith in the projects, the people and the slightly ambitious dreams.
Co-owner and Co-General Manager
Stéphanie Fortin
Stéphanie is the one who makes sure the wheels stay firmly bolted on at Les Battures. Organized, structured and blessed with a formidable instinct for telling the essential from the superfluous, she's affectionately nicknamed the minister of unnecessary spending.
A true pillar of the organization, she watches over the teams, the operations and the people who make them up with remarkable energy. A self-assured extrovert, her laugh often carries from one end of the hallway to the other long before you see her coming. Her presence brings people together, reassures and rallies. Deeply attuned to others, sensitive to what people are going through and always ready to lend a hand, she has that rare balance between kindness and efficiency. Behind her big heart lies an impressive strength of character and an uncommon ability to stay the course when challenges arise. If Les Battures sometimes feels like one big family, Stéphanie surely has something to do with it.
Co-owner and Co-General Manager
Any-Claude Robitaille
Behind many of the renovations, concepts and slightly ambitious projects at Les Battures, you'll find Any-Claude. Self-appointed head of the ministry of beauty and guest experience, she's constantly on the lookout for the small detail that will make all the difference.
Passionate about design, hospitality, dining and marketing, she believes a hotel should tell a story and offer far more than just a place to sleep. Her favourite playground? Transforming buildings, dreaming up experiences and giving a unique personality to every project she touches.
Creative, ambitious and deeply human, she loves bringing people together around a shared vision and pushing the limits of what's possible. When she isn't dreaming up the next renovation or moving a piece of furniture for the third time in a single day, she's working to make Les Battures shine and to create places people can't wait to return to.
Our world
The Les Battures management team
At Les Battures, we believe it's possible to aim for excellence without ever taking ourselves too seriously.
Our management team is made up of different personalities, varied backgrounds and complementary strengths. Some are passionate about numbers, others about design, dining, guest experience or events. Together, though, they share the same ambition: to offer a memorable experience to every person who walks through our doors.
What unites them? A deep passion for hospitality, a genuine care for work well done and the joy of building something together. Here, ideas flow freely, challenges are met as a team and fits of laughter are part of everyday life.
Les Battures is far more than a hotel. It's a living environment driven by people who love to welcome, create, innovate and do things with heart. Because in the end, we're convinced that the best experiences are born when fun and excellence work hand in hand.

Jessika Lévesque
Director of Sales
From day one, Jessika has been part of the DNA of Les Battures. Organized, available and always ready to orchestrate an event, she turns ideas into reality with disarming ease. A true ambassador for the house, she looks after guests with care and is one of those people with whom it's easy to build, dream and collaborate.
Étienne Trottier
Head Chef, Resto des Battures
As disciplined as a soldier, but far more likeable. Étienne runs his kitchen with rigour, calm and humour. Always ready to take on a challenge, or three, he moves forward with determination, even when the winds are less favourable. Present for his team, he cultivates a cuisine that reflects who he is: generous, authentic and unpretentious.
Andréa Rolet
Guest Experience & Front Desk Manager
Smiling, organized and deeply caring, Andréa puts the guest experience at the centre of everything she does. Despite her young age, she impresses with her professionalism and her sense of responsibility. For her, Les Battures is far more than a workplace: it's a second family, and you feel it from the very first hello.
Émilie Lefebvre
Manager of the Resto des Battures & Social Media Lead
Émilie is the kind of person who shows up to work smiling and keeps that smile even when 100 guests arrive for a wedding, the Resto des Battures is full and the phone won't stop ringing. Creative, attentive and always a pleasure to be around, she has the rare talent of making busy days feel much lighter. She loves challenges, big services, fast-moving events and projects that call for a bit of creativity. Her other specialty? Sending reel ideas at 11 p.m. or kicking off a planning discussion just when everyone thought the day was over. Luckily, her ideas are often excellent.
Guillaume Desgagné
Inventory Manager
Passionate about wine, cocktails and discovery, Guillaume is always on the hunt for the next favourite find. Available, loyal and meticulous, he makes sure nothing ever runs short, all while turning up a new bottle or a new ingredient for us to discover. A resource as reliable as he is curious. Affectionately nicknamed our geek-in-chief, he's also often the first person we turn to when a piece of software acts up, a connection refuses to cooperate or a technical problem appears without warning. Luckily for us, Guillaume enjoys solving puzzles as much as discovering new products.
Manon Bergeron
Head Housekeeper
For more than 27 years, Manon has watched over Les Battures as if it were her own home. Behind every spotless room and every detail in its right place is her meticulous work and her care for a job well done. A native of Rivière-Éternité, she brings the team her good humour, her authenticity and her unmistakable accent that makes colleagues and visitors smile alike. Present, devoted and deeply attached to the establishment, she's one of those people who have long shaped the soul of Les Battures.
