Canada’s Most Iconic Historic Hotels Still Worth Booking Today

Some hotels fade with time. Others grow into it. Across Canada, a handful of historic hotels continue to operate with purpose — not as relics, but as experience-driven stays that hold onto their architectural charm and cultural roots.

These are the heritage hotels that still feel alive.

1. Fairmont Le Château Frontenac – Québec City, QC

Built in 1893, this iconic cliffside property is more than a landmark — it’s a fully operating hotel with old-world design, modern amenities, and direct access to the cobblestone streets of Old Québec.

2. The Fort Garry Hotel – Winnipeg, MB

Originally built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1913, The Fort Garry blends vintage elegance with modern spa services and elevated food — all just steps from The Forks historic district.

3. Algonquin Resort – St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, NB

This coastal resort has welcomed travelers for over a century. The Tudor-style design and sweeping views of Passamaquoddy Bay give the whole stay a timeless quality — golf, spa, and trails included.

4. Prince of Wales Hotel – Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON

First opened in 1864, this refined boutique hotel maintains its Victorian-era character while offering easy access to the town’s theatres, wineries, and lakefront paths.

5. Craigdarroch Castle Stay Suites (Coming Soon) – Victoria, BC

While not yet open for stays, suites near this famous castle-turned-museum offer a heritage-rich home base close to Canada’s most dramatic urban mansion.
