Escape airport chaos and rising gas prices by checking in for a local retreat
A posh, design-forward property on the Halifax waterfront. Chic, new boutique hotels in downtown Calgary. A Trump Hotel transformation in Vancouver. And new, stylish places to stay in both Toronto and Montreal. With inflation pounding Canadian wallets like a summer hailstorm, and gas prices reaching record highs, it’s a great time for a close-to-home “staycation.” Here’s a look at some recently opened and soon-to-open city hotels across the country that are perfect for a local holiday.
The Hyatt Centric Old Montreal is part of the bigger urban development around Place Gare Viger, which was built around the first railway station in Canada. Centric is the more “boutique” line of Hyatt, with fewer rooms and more unique features than a “standard” property. This 177-room project is located at the foot of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, at the edge of Old Montreal.
The 254-room W Hotel is a remake of the nondescript Marriott on Bloor Street, just east of Yonge. Look for a cool, youthful vibe, including a rooftop bar overlooking one of Canada’s best-known intersections. “W Hotels are always social hubs, and this particular hotel is sleek, chic and full of surprises. The design of our public spaces reflects Toronto’s brutalist architecture, graffiti art, grid-like sprawl, green spaces, and theatre and music culture,” general manager Craig Reaume said.
“We wanted to create a hotel concept that embodied the paradoxical spirit of Vancouver, where the brand was created; a city in which world-class luxury and laid-back lifestyles go hand-in-hand,” said Lorraine Simonds, Paradox’s head of brand experience. Look for lots of white and cool shades of grey. The hotel has 147 rooms and a rooftop lounge with great views. Karma, the new lobby bar, offers signature cocktails and sharing plates based on seasonal fare.
