6 Best Hotels in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

This centrally located boutique hotel is fashioned from 20 heritage buildings, and history is clearly in the air (some Fathers of Confederation stayed in them during the Charlottetown Conference), but it's nicely balanced by the contemporary style and 21st-century touches. A complimentary continental breakfast buffet is presented in the Pavilion reception area, with seating on luxurious old chairs and sofas, as is an afternoon happy hour, and treats are available in the lobby around the clock. Accommodations range from stylish doubles (some with fireplaces or claw-foot tubs) to luxe condos that rent by the week. Forego housekeeping during your stay and you'll be rewarded with a C$10 meal voucher valid at any Murphy Hospitality locations.

A 1903 Queen Anne mansion and modern annex make up this attractive inn just minutes from downtown—rooms in the main house are homey, historic, and furnished with period pieces; those in the annex, being more boutique-y, are stylish and contemporary. Drinks are served in the English-style pub April through October. 

Four lovingly restored heritage buildings in the heart of Charlottetown offer luxurious, bright suites in a range of configurations to suit groups of all sizes. Some suites offer gas fireplaces and huge picture windows, and some have balconies. The period decor works perfectly in these beautiful old homes, and staying here feels like stepping back in time (but you still have Wi-Fi and everything you need for a comfortable stay).

This is a contemporary lodging option with high-end atmosphere and high standards of service. Except for the fact that some guest rooms are accessed from the outside, no trace of its former motor inn roots remain. The interiors are muted and modern, and the downtown location puts you conveniently close to shops, eateries, and entertainment. In line with their "greener is cleaner" ethos, guests who choose to skip housekeeping services receive a C$10 voucher valid in local restaurants.

The name of this cottage-y 1860s inn is a nod to the first owner's occupation, and its charming accommodations further attest to his seafaring ways (the Captain's Quarters, the Navigator's Retreat---you get the picture). A nautical motif is highlighted throughout. Several rooms, for instance, have original floors made from marine-grade pine planks, and ship-theme memorabilia is prominently displayed. The sustaining four-course breakfast and afternoon tea (both free) are memorable. Ditto for the friendly hosts. For extra-special stays, ask about the romance and golf packages.
