This eight-room pavilion with its permeating country charm is just slightly set back in the woods. A testament to the sweet life!

The Pavilion's History

Pavilion Kaufman was built in 1989-90. At the time, treatment rooms were spread out among Le Bois Cordé, Les Volet Bleus and Le Salon Rose. The Spa Eastman had to answer to an increasing demand for more accommodations and all the while equip itself with a larger room to hold workshops and activities. This new housing structure was also an answer to a need that had already been expressed by the clientele. Up until this time, all the pavilions of the Spa Eastman encouraged conviviality, most of the rooms were grouped by houses and clients shared a lounge. However, some clients would have preferred a more private setting.

In order to answer to these expectations, the rooms in the new pavilion were designed differently. Each unit had its personal entrance, thus allowing guest direct access to the exterior of their quarters. Placing this pavilion farther away from the other infrastructures permitted the Spa Eastman to respect certain clients need for privacy.

During the early 80’s, Jocelyna Dubuc had been inspired by a book: To Love Is To Be Happy With, written by Barry Neil Kaufman. Essentially, it was suggesting that by exploring physical or psychological illness and allowing oneself to be surrounded by love, humans can remarkably improve wellness and health. Naturally, when the structure was completed, the new pavilion was baptized Le Pavillon Kaufman.

Since 2001, Le Pavillon Kaufman has offered 8 rooms to Spa Eastman clients. It is appreciated for the size of its rooms, the view of the mountain and nearby woods and its proximity to the great Pavillon du Spa.
