The Best Pet Friendly Boutique Hotels in Canada in 2026

Snuggled between Old Montreal and Downtown, Hotel Gault is contemporary chic in an historic stone shell. The building itself has a facade perfectly in line with the rest of the neighbourhood’s 18th-century charm, but the interior of an early Blackberry investor’s Quebec property. The new-fashioned structure allows for a wonderfully spacious layout, supplemented by clean lines and white space that whisper at new money. Squidgy, midcentury furnishings and some nice stone floor work keep the rest of the decor from feeling dull. What happens is the old-fashioned, arched windows let… > Read Our Full Review

Sooke Harbour House is a modernized build with a timeless feel, a bit like a seaside cabin with a couple extra limbs. It is also one of our favourite sizes for a hotel. There’s enough space that you can exist fairly independently, but you’ll rarely be competing with other guests for the staff’s attention. The sea views are impeccable, the exterior crisp and white, surrounded by salt air, stones, and some wilderness-esque landscaping that adds a homey feel to the property. Having been in business since the 1920s, there’s a… > Read Our Full Review

The Wedgewood Hotel & Spa stands as a bastion of old style civility in Vancouver’s modern Downtown. Bellhops are suited up, classic art and antiques abound and you’ve got seasonally themed, formal afternoon teas throughout the year. It was founded in the early 1980s by Eleni Skalbania, an old school Greek hotelier, who’s stated aim was to create the ambience of a European country-house There’s a real old-world feel to the Wedgewood then, but with enough modern amenities these days to keep it from feeling dated. The timeless quality doesn’t… > Read Our Full Review

The exterior is a mix of sleek glass and red brick facade. There’s a quality to the interiors, too, that few hotels manage to pull off. BISHA is a design drama that wouldn’t look out of place on a stage. It is Toronto’s rock star hotel. It’s not its most luxurious, though, and it really doesn’t want to be. But with its marble bathrooms, black velvety sofas, and Frette linens, it’s a place Morrissey might stay in for some theatrical self-pity. The upper echelon suites are designed by the design… > Read Our Full Review

As you might glean from the coloured lights and patterned ceilings, Gladstone House, in Toronto’s artsy West Queen West, is not your typical luxury hotel. It’s an in-your-face kind of combination of old and new, much like the hip neighbourhood it calls home. The gorgeous 1889 redbrick sits on the corner of a block that features plenty of history. The area clearly developed to complement the centuries-old railway nestled to the side of the hotel. The train runs throughout the night, be warned, and a small army of cool bars,… > Read Our Full Review

Le Capitole Hotel, in the centre of Downtown Quebec, offers a bit of cultural immersion alongside top-class, relaxed pampering. The 1901 era theatre and performance complex attached to the property brings Beaux-Arts architecture, and a busy program of productions While many nearby buildings, including the theatre itself, stand as monuments to Art Deco or Beaux-Arts, Le Capitole has a more modern sensibility. It has a nice collection of modern amenities, sleek rooms, great dining, and, all in all, offers some of the best pampering in the city.   What are… > 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

The, suites only, Windsor Arms Hotel in Yorkville, Toronto is the epitome of classic luxury. The architecture and design goes right back to the 1920s – a stately stone building filled with lush textiles. Through in lots of warm lighting, butler service, and plush soft furnishings and you now have what might called good, old fashioned opulence. If you want something innovative, something you’ve never seen before, we have other options for you. If, however, you simply want to enjoy the trappings of luxury in what really feels like their… > 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

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

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

Taller than a lot of boutique hotels of the same capacity, Loden Vancouver’s height makes for some great views, even if the architecture isn’t going to blow your mind. Indeed, not much in this hotel is hugely groundbreaking, but that’s not why we love it. They do a great job of mixing the homey feel of an apartment with the hospitality a top hotel. As you might imagine, there’s a whole lot of terrace space too, that takes liberal advantage of the higher floors, and the views. And the whole… > 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

The Hazelton Hotel in Yorkville, Toronto. doesn’t pack a lot of personality, but bring a love for chic furnishings, brass fixtures, and the kind of beige-gold that makes a hotel feel lush, and you’ll be good. The exterior is solidly contemporary, but the red brick tones that down a bit and gives it just the right amount of gravitas. Cute Juliette balconies and tree-adorned walk-outs add a luxurious touch visible from the outside. And the inside more than matches. Inside, you’ve got a space that looks like it was designed by… > 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

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
