With over 400 Canadian hotels to choose from in our collection, you will easily be able to find accommodation to suit your needs. From the culture hub Montreal to capital of Ottawa, check out six of our luxury options to ignite your wanderlust…
Four Seasons Hotel Montreal
One for… those wanting glitz and glam
The Four Seasons name needs little introduction. So when you book a stay here, you’re guaranteed to be sleeping in the plushest hotel in town. As you’d expect, the rooms live up to the five-star brand’s reputation. Think herringbone wood floors, marble bathrooms, and four-poster beds. You can reach housekeeping from your bed via state-of-the-art iPad controls. And outside, the hotel’s set down in Montreal’s Golden Square Mile – a district known for its stately mansions, museums, and shopping.
But it’s the restaurant that steals most of the limelight. Celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson is at the helm of this seafood-centred eatery. There’s a raw bar with towers of lobster, crab, oysters, and sashimi. And the menu features dishes like pasta with lobster, black cod, Atlantic salmon, and filet mignon.
The hotel’s spa is the real deal. You can book a Kneipp Hydrotherapy Experience, stimulating your acupressure points with a walk across polished stones before dipping into a wading pool.
Shangri-La Toronto
One for… keen sightseers
The Hong Kong-based hotel brand has brought their chic take on
luxury stays to Toronto. And they’ve chosen one of the city’s tallest buildings to do it. It’s right in the heart of downtown, so you’ll be minutes from the waterfront shops and cafés.
Inside, there are Asian-inspired Shangri-La touches everywhere you turn. From the brand’s signature scent to an impressive lobby bar, where decadent afternoon teas are presented in antique or modern Chinese teapots. The main restaurant, bosk, takes you on an international journey via your taste buds. And the wine list is 700 bottles long – one of the biggest in the whole of Toronto. What’s more, you have the option of a workout with a view, thanks to a 9,000-square-foot wellness centre on the fifth floor. It also comes complete with a pool and spa.
1 Hotel Toronto
One for… sustainability seekers
1 Hotel Toronto’s elevator pitch would read: stylish but sustainable oasis in the heart of downtown. It’s the perfect pick for those who like their five-star hotels with a conscience. And it’s not empty promises. The hotel’s LEED Gold certified, which means it’s kitted out with energy-efficient heating and cooling systems and energy-saving room thermostats. And they have their own fully electric Audi Q8 e-tron that will take you sightseeing.
In fact, everything here is inspired by the natural environment. Reclaimed wood features heavily in the rooms – whether it’s the headboards or in the showers. And they’ve thought of every last detail, from sustainably sourced bedding to yoga mats and in-room trees.
The same goes for the wining and dining. Farm-to-table cuisine is dished up in a trendy conservatory at 1 Kitchen. Flora Lounge deals in plant-based meals, while the immersive dining experience pairs Mexican and Mediterranean food with a side of DJs and live performances. Up on the roof, you can sunbathe amongst the skyscrapers by the pool, while sipping freshly juiced cocktails.
The Westin Ottawa
One for… business travellers
The Westin hotel is parked up right in the middle of Ottawa’s downtown business district. But it’s not all work and no play. It’s connected to the Rideau Centre Shopping Mall – the city’s premier upmarket shopping centre. It’s also right on the Rideau Canal, so you can easily tick this UNESCO World Heritage Site off your list. Parliament Hill and the National Gallery of Canada are all within 15 minutes’ walk, or less, too.
There’s a trio of restaurants to choose from. Daly’s has an express offering for breakfast with Starbucks® coffee, or a full-scale restaurant that serves breakfast and weekend brunches. The Shore Club, meanwhile, dishes out oysters, black cod, and rainbow trout alongside prime cuts of meat, like filet mignon. Plus, every room comes with a special Service Express® button for ordering room service 24/7. The leisure facilities come up trumps, too, with an indoor saltwater pool, squash courts, and a modern gym with a Peloton bike.
The DOUGLAS, Autograph Collection, Vancouver
One for… foodies
Boutique but on a big scale – that’s how you could sum up The DOUGLAS, in Vancouver. It’s part of Parq Vancouver, a grand hotel and casino complex. But, as a member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, you can also look forward to the sophisticated feel and atmosphere you’d expect from a smaller boutique hotel. There are some extraordinary rooms on offer – take The Den, for instance, which lines up a pool table and a floating staircase.
And did we mention the never-ending list of facilities? You can stroll between pines and flowers on the 30,000-square-foot rooftop park, then head over to D/6 Lounge for panoramic views of downtown Vancouver. The Victor is the place to come for seafood or steak, while BC Kitchen deals in pizzas, burgers, and Mexican street food. Honey Salt is the farm-to-table restaurant, where only the best seasonal and local ingredients will do. There’s also a gelateria, a café, and a lounge that switches from serving teas by day to whiskeys at night.
Fairmont Vancouver
One for… history fans
The Fairmont is a bit of an icon on the Vancouver hotel scene. The Chateaux-style hotel, dubbed the Castle in the City, has been hosting guests since 1939 – even the Royals have checked in. But it’s anything but old on the inside, thanks to a $75 million revamp at the end of 2019.
In true grand style, the rooms feature a navy blue and gold colour scheme. And the Notch8 restaurant and bar is seriously stylish with an uber-modern chandelier, zebra-print bar stools, and brick walls. It’s not style over substance, though. There’s a raw bar serving oysters, mussels, caviar, and crab legs. And the cocktail menu features a unique concept, where drinkers let the dice decide on their cocktail construction. Plus, it wouldn’t be a five-star hotel without a pool, sauna, and fitness centre.
The postcode’s standout, as well. It’s minutes from Vancouver’s main shopping streets – Robson, Alberni, Burrard, and Granville. And historic Gastown is just a few blocks away.
