There is a new luxury hotel in a beautiful Ontario town and you can admire the building's history while staying in a glamorously updated room.
The Dorchester Hotel in Collingwood is found in the downtown core and they opened for bookings in October. Guests can enjoy the 1920's style elegance as of December 15, 2022.
The town of Collingwood is just about a 2.5-hour drive from Toronto and it is where you'll find the Blue Mountain ski hill. It sounds like it's time to plan a winter road trip.

The hotel building has been a landmark in Collingwood's downtown core for almost 130 years since it was first built as the Dominion Hotel in 1895. It had the town's first elevator which has been preserved.

While there have been many updates for this new opening, you can walk the hallways and admire historic photos of the hotel and the town. The original brick exterior has been restored to keep the heritage feel and many modern accents have been added for a blend of the old and new.
