Commissioned in 1900 by Atlanta resident and Georgia Power’s esteemed president Henry Atkinson, Manoir Hovey is a road trip–worthy spot that’s just a seven-hour drive from Manhattan. Anyone who appreciates historically inclined architecture should move this Québec hotel to the top of their travel bucket list, because its exteriors are a nod to one of the most famous residences in the world: George Washington’s Mount Vernon. In fact, Atkinson was so taken by the first American president’s estate that he designed his Canadian summer home, now a 36-room Relais & Châteaux hotel, as a pretty accurate take on Washington’s 21-room Virginia mansion.
The boutique hotel, which still feels like a sprawling private home, sits on 30 acres, encompassing highly manicured English gardens and nearly 2,000 feet on Lake Massawippi’s shoreline. The centerpiece of the space, however, is one of the hotel’s resident restaurants, Le Hatley, which takes its name from the quaint village in which the hotel resides. Chef Alexandre Vachon’s Franco-Canadian delicacies seem even more decadent in the recently refinished dining room, which is wrapped in a quiet seagrass wallpaper and features a large-scale watercolor by local artist Sara Peck Colby.
Though plenty of hospitality outposts were forced to permanently close their doors during the pandemic, The St. Regis Toronto took that time to work on itself, enlisting the masterminds behind Chapi Chapo Design to reimagine the newly contemporary 258 guest rooms and suites. The hotel also completed the long-awaited 15,000-square-foot Iridium Spa on the 31st and 32nd floors. The wellness concept, which features 11 treatment rooms, expansive locker rooms (each of which has a steam room), a nail salon, and a lounge, is nothing short of an urban sanctuary. Just one floor above the spa is an infinity-edge saltwater lap pool and detoxifying infrared cedar saunas.
Built in 1942 in Alberta, the Post Hotel & Spa’s main lodge gives a whole new meaning to the idea of DIY. Local Canadian guide and packer Jim Boyce gathered a crew of just 10 men and went to work using nothing more than logs they sourced in nearby Revelstoke and at the headwaters of the Bow River. With traditional guest rooms and suites, private cabins, and a 3,000-square-foot lodge on the banks of the Pipestone River, the Post’s accommodations are as warm as they are sprawling. Did we mention that the lodge boasts a 23,000-bottle wine cellar?
