Known as the ‘Limestone City’ for its grand 19th-century buildings, be sure to bring your camera to capture the classic architecture around the city, including the lakeside Kingston City Hall. The historic Fort Henry, built in the 1800s, is very close to the hotel and is a must on the ‘to do’ list, it’s also a magnificently dramatic setting for dinner.

At the end of a day of sightseeing, enjoy a relaxing swim in either the indoor or seasonal outdoor pool, ease weary muscles in the hot tub or if you like to stay fit, head down to the gym. The straightforward rooms have everything you need for a comfy stay.

The hotel offers a restaurant for Canadian cuisine (where kids 12 and under eat free) and if weather permits, dine outdoors on the attractive terrace overlooking Kingston’s inner harbour. Alternatively, Kingston offers an eclectic choice of dining venues, so freshen up and get set for a night out on the town.

Rooms are air-conditioned with cable TV, WiFi, hair dryer, ironing equipment, coffee maker and mini fridge.
