The most romantic and swoon-worthy hotels to visit in Canada

A romantic getaway starts with choosing the perfect place to stay, and when it comes to setting the mood, several hotels in Canada offer just that.

Whether your idea of romance is dinner with a city skyline view or a lakeside retreat, hotels in Canada certainly deliver. And there’s plenty to choose from, too, from a quaint boutique hotel in Montreal that feels like you’ve been transported to Europe to a palatial hotel in Edmonton that oozes old-world charm.

If you’re celebrating a major milestone or need a little R&R with your beloved, here are some of Canada’s most romantic hotels.

Rosewood Hotel Georgia, Vancouver, B.C.

You might think that Rosewood Hotel Georgia’s rather austere architecture extends to its interior, but you’d be wrong — inside this newly renovated hotel is a veritable jewelry box of luxurious rooms with pops of colour and artwork curated by a local gallery. It’s located in downtown Vancouver, so you’ll have your pick of nearby restaurants. However, the hotel does have its own restaurants and a cafe, so you won’t have to wander far.

Address: 801 W. Georgia St., Vancouver, B.C.

Fairmont Pacific Rim, Vancouver, B.C.

Mountain or harbour views? Fairmont Pacific Rim is one of the few hotels in Canada that has both. If you’re in the mood to get a little spendy, there are several larger suites to choose from. There’s the Prime Minister suite, where you can soak in a bathtub that offers a jaw-dropping view of the harbour, while Suite X was designed by Canadian visual artist and author Douglas Coupland for art lovers.

Address: 1038 Canada Place, Vancouver, B.C.

Four Seasons Resort Whistler, Whistler, B.C.

You already know you’re in for something special at the Four Seasons Resort Whistler. Rooms and suites resemble modern chalets where you can curl up by the fire. Although the hotel is open year-round, with numerous outdoor activities, the resort is particularly magical during the winter months. And if you’re feeling peckish after a day of skiing, you can tuck into a steak at Sidecut Steakhouse or warm up with a whiskey at the Library Bar.

Address: 4591 Blackcomb Way, Whistler, B.C.

The Dorian, Autograph Collection, Calgary, Alta.

Whether you’re vacationing or staycation, the Dorian Hotel is a slice of British whimsy in the heart of downtown Calgary. The hotel is a Michelin Key recipient, and it’s easy to see why: stylish suites combine modern comforts with old-world elegance. Rooms are inspired by author Oscar Wilde — there’s even an award-winning restaurant called the Wilde on 27, where you can sip cocktails while enjoying views of the city. 

Address: 525 5th Ave. SW, Calgary, Alta.

Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, Edmonton, Alta.

Stepping inside the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald is like stepping back in time. A Canadian railway hotel since its opening in 1915, this hotel offers a unique blend of nostalgia and luxury. With its castle-like charm and sweeping views of the North Saskatchewan River, the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald will undoubtedly put you in the mood for love.

Address: 10065 100th St., Edmonton, Alta.

JW Marriott the Rosseau Muskoka Resort and Spa, Minett, Ont.

Located along a bay, the coastal-inspired JW Marriott Rosseau Muskoka Resort and Spa feels like you’re vacationing in the Hamptons. Whether it’s winter or summer, there are plenty of outdoor activities to choose from. And when Canada’s summer gets a little too hot, you can cool off with a drink at the Crystal Head Vodka ICEBAR, which, as the name suggests, is made of ice.

Address: 1050 Paignton House Rd., Minett, Muskoka Lakes, Ont.

Bisha Hotel, Toronto, Ont.

Looking to impress a stylish someone? Then Bisha Hotel in downtown Toronto is sure to dazzle the fashionista in your life. If food is your love language, you’re in the right place. The hotel is home to the KŌST, a rooftop restaurant that serves “lively flavours of the Californian coastline,” and Akira Back, a modern take on Korean and Japanese cuisine.

Address: 80 Blue Jays Way, Toronto, Ont.

Hotel Nelligan, Montreal, Que.

There’s a reason why Hotel Nelligan keeps winning awards. Tucked away in Montreal’s Old Town, the hotel features suites with centuries-old brickwork and romantic details like fireplaces and wrought-iron balconies. It truly feels like a European escape.

Address: 106 Saint-Paul St. W., Montreal, Que.

Manoir Hovey, North Hatley, Que.

When it comes to romantic hotels in Canada, it’s hard to beat Manoir Hovey, located in the heart of the Appalachian landscape and on the shores of Lake Massawippi. Unplug and unwind by swimming in the heated outdoor pool by the lake or getting pampered at the spa. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you can enjoy a meal at the Le Tap Room Bistro or a more refined experience at Le Hatley restaurant.

Address: 575 Rue Hovey, North Hatley, Que.

Fogo Island Inn, Joe Batt’s Arm, N.L.

If you’re in search of something truly unforgettable, Fogo Island Inn is the perfect choice. It’s the only place in Canada to make Condé Nast Traveller’s Gold List 2025. The inn has 29 rooms and suites overlooking “the wildest and most powerful ocean on the planet.” Perched on stilts and overlooking the Labrador Sea, staying here feels like staying on the edge of the earth.

However, an unforgettable experience comes at a price: a stay at Fogo Island Inn costs over $2,300 per night. But can you really put a price on love?

Address: 210 Main Rd., Joe Batt’s Arm, N.L.
