The Best Eco Friendly Boutique Hotels in Canada in 2026

Hotel Le Germain Quebec was one of the first of the Germain hotel chain’s Canadian boutiques, a 1997 renovation of a 1912 era building. Thus, you’ve got old-style architectural glamour outside Le Germain Hotels’ contemporary interiors. This includes clean lines and subtle colours, more connected to the stone of the building than any heritage. And it’s fine; they both have charm. We’re not of the philosophy that all historical buildings need the complications of period furniture, but if you are, this won’t be for you. Though for the contemporary style,… > Read Our Full Review

This handsome offering in Quebec City’s Old Port is a stately, refined option for those who like their hospitality simple and high-quality. We think it might be the neoclassical architecture, but there is something a hair impersonal to the converted headquarters of Canada’s first French-speaking bank. It’s the kind of impersonal that waits for you to add meaning, though, more pre-furnished luxury flat than cookie-cutter hotel. Decor is homey, if nondescript, and common areas have high ceilings and plenty of comfortable furnishings. Additionally, Hotel 71 belongs to the Preferred Hotels… > Read Our Full Review

For wellness, healthy food and a regenerative taste of Québécois history, try this unique boutique hotel in Old Port. Le Monastère des Augustines, a zhuzhed up former nun’s residence, allows some gentle historic immersion, alongside its main focus: holistic wellness. You can choose what they refer to as an Authentic, or a Contemporary experience, but all the whitewashed rooms have undergone serious renovations regardless. Yet, the hotel’s money and mouth seem to be in the same place. Both the historical white and the contemporary white speak in the language of… > Read Our Full Review

First opening in 1927, Rosewood Hotel Georgia provides some old-time glamour to central Vancouver’s generally modern hotel scene. Not that it’s really a throwback to a former age, it has been much modernized, but with a clear respect for its roots. The original, twenties era, Hotel Georgia was a stately stone number with those glowing blade signs that make old hotels so charming. And there’s still gorgeous wrought iron and carved stone all around. Generally a boutique hotel shouldn’t be this big, but with the surprising lack of historical hotels… > Read Our Full Review

For a small neighbourhood, Quebec City’s Vieux-Port has an impressive selection of boutique hotels. Auberge Saint-Antoine though may just lead the crowded market with a strong sense of local identity, good design, and some top-notch amenities. We love the way the red brick nestles in with the surrounding buildings, like it just couldn’t exist anywhere else. Indeed, the renovation that took the buildings that make up the property from “old wharf” to “chic hotel” unearthed a veritable treasure trove of historical artifacts. Many of these are on display throughout the… > Read Our Full Review

Born from Canada’s first and foremost boutique hotel chain, Le Germain, the name, is a promise of contemporary luxury. Le Germain Toronto Mercer combines classic dark wood luxury and squishy armchairs with some straight-edged contemporary chic. It’s on the edge of mismatched, but there’s a clear division between the cosy dining rooms and stylish living areas. As such, you get the best of both worlds. Combine this with a superb staff, and one of the most popular Downtown Toronto locations, and this iteration of Le Germain more than lives up… > Read Our Full Review

Between the iconic Mount Royal and Downtown Montreal, Le Mount Stephen cycles between the historical and the modern. The building is an 1883 Italian Renaissance gem, officially listed as a historic monument, and with plenty of original elements to admire. Though much of the interior has been fully remodeled, the exterior remain full on vintage glory. Le Mount Stephen is essentially divided into new and old. A separate historical entrance and old-world restaurant sit somewhat curious next to a super-chic, contemporary lobby and hotel. We’re talking moulded wood and hand-painted… > Read Our Full Review

Hotel Le Germain in Downtown Montreal is a bright modern take on boutique hotels that we’re happy to see growing. The Quebecois Germain Hotel chain have been introducing Canada to sophisticated, contemporary accommodation since the 90s. And this, their third hotel, remains one of their most eye-catching. A building coated in colour and stripes welcomes guests to a super-chic, modern interior. The crisp, minimalist-adjacent elegance of the lobby is the perfect foil to the on-the-edge-of-taste facade. It adds maturity that might feel boring if you hadn’t entered from a doorway… > Read Our Full Review
