Auberge Du Vieux Port

Old Montréal is like a city within a city, a slice of Old Europe right in the middle of a major North American city, where one can still hear the hooves of horses, drawing carriages along the meandering cobbled streets. And the Auberge du Vieux-Port is a bit of a trip through time as well—though ...

Black Rock Oceanfront Resort

On the theory that there are enough rustic, woodsy old lodges in coastal British Columbia, the Black Rock Oceanfront Resort opted for a more contemporary approach; they hired a big-time modern design firm, the Vancouver/Seattle–based VIA Architecture. It’s a decision that would have to be judged ...

Clayoquot Wilderness Resort - Bedwell River

Please note: Clayoquot Wilderness Resort - Bedwell River is open May 14th through September 30th. The resort only takes arrivals on Thursdays and Sundays and has a 3 night minimum stay policy. The two best words to describe the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort? “Rustic” and “luxuriou...

Cosmopolitan Toronto Hotel And Spa

Hidden away in plain sight in downtown Toronto’s bustling financial district is the kind of hotel experience that it usually takes hours of driving to reach. The Cosmopolitan calls itself an “urban sanctuary,” and while that may sound a bit precious, in the end it’s entire...

Hotel Le Germain Montreal

In Montreal, the boutiques have all but run the big chains out of town — and Hôtel le Germain is the place that started it all. Once a deeply unfashionable Sixties office block, this was the first hotel in town to embrace the sort of high-concept hotel design made famous by Starck and Schrager in...

Hotel Le Germain Toronto

It's about time squeaky-clean Toronto had a style transplant, and it's probably no surprise that this one happens to be a Québecois import. The Germain family's first Ontario outpost adds a dash of style to the theater district, in the form of this scratch-built 11-story red brick building, which...

Hotel St. Paul

The landmark Beaux-Arts exterior of the ten-story St. Paul Hotel, in the heart of the historic district of Vieux Montréal, is utterly at odds with what’s inside—an utterly modern and minimalist hotel, something light and ethereal, straight from the pages of a design magazine. Sty...

Jasper Park Lodge

Canada has a tradition of railway hotels, built by the rail companies to house travelers on the epic journey across this vast country. Many, like Château Lake Louise, are grand old palaces, rising like visions from the sublime Canadian landscape. Jasper Park is different: some 130 mile...

Le Place D'armes Hotel & Suites

Hotel Place d’Armes is a new addition to the historic district of Old Montréal, a modern boutique hotel within the renovated nineteenth-century Great Scottish Life Insurance building, and an ideal vantage point from which to witness the resurgence of this once-neglected neighborhood. O...

Loden Hotel

Many hotels in Vancouver can boast breathtaking views — this town is nothing if not topographically gifted. However, the district of Coal Harbour on the north edge of downtown has a slight edge on the rest. Think of it as stadium seating for the panorama that unfolds across the Burrard Inlet. Coa...

Manoir Hovey

While the Eastern Townships of Québec are the French-speaking answer to the rural idylls of northern New England, the Manoir Hovey takes its inspiration from something a little further south — this lakeside retreat was built a hundred years ago, in the style of George Washington’s Mount Vernon pl...

Nita Lake Lodge

The Spa and Fitness Centre at Nita Lake Lodge will open mid-February 2009. The Nita Lake Lodge starts with a prestigious location in the Creekside area of the Western Canadian resort town of Whistler, outside of the main Village area. It’s part of a growing movement toward modern...

Opus Hotel Montreal

Fans of contemporary-design boutique hotels are already spoiled for choice in Montreal, but most often they’re confined to the scenic-but-sleepy old quarter. The Opus Montreal, by contrast, stands at the top of St. Laurent, what’s essentially the city’s main drag; maybe not wher...

Rimrock Resort Hotel

Deep in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains is the picturesque resort town of Banff, surrounded by some of North America's best ski resorts and some of the most breathtaking mountain vistas this side of the Alps. The Rimrock Resort Hotel is designed to take full advantage of the views: the ...

Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver

The days of the purpose-built luxury hotel just might be behind us. The Shangri-La Vancouver is built, as is increasingly common, on the Asian model — as a part of a mixed-use skyscraper, incorporating offices, retail, dining and residential space in addition to the fifteen hotel floors. The big ...

The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

The railway hotels of the Canadian Rockies are famous for their grand scale, improbable luxury, and their stunning natural surroundings — and among them perhaps none is so well-known as the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Two hours west of Calgary may seem an unlikely setting for a world-class luxu...
