Catalogue 01 — Landmark Stays

Landmark Stays

The entries on this page are the ones where the building itself is the reason to stop looking. Each is described from its architecture and its history first, and from its rooms second — then the reader is handed to the property's own listing for everything practical.

Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, La Malbaie

Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu

La Malbaie, Quebec · 5-star hotel · ★★★★★

A historic manor at the water's edge in La Malbaie, whose long architectural past is the whole point of the address. The resort scale shows in the setting, and the 5-star class in the care given to the first things a guest meets.

JW Marriott Parq Vancouver, Vancouver

JW Marriott Parq Vancouver

Vancouver, British Columbia · 5-star hotel · ★★★★★

A high-rise in the middle of downtown Vancouver, its glass-and-green silhouette easy to spot from across the neighbourhood. Inside, a 5-star hotel built around a full resort operation, where the casino floor sits below the rooms the tower was raised to hold.

Hotel at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto, Etobicoke

Hotel at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto

Etobicoke, Ontario · 4-star hotel · ★★★★☆

A 4-star hotel on Toronto's western edge in Etobicoke, built around the resort operation of the casino beside it. The city is close, the airport corridor closer still, and the rooms suit travellers who want both a place to stay and a place to be.

Details, current facilities and availability are held by each property and its official listing page, not by this guide. If what is written here matches the kind of stay you are planning, the button on each entry above leads straight to that page. The method behind these entries is explained in Reader Notes, and properties where the street matters more than the architecture sit in the In the City catalogue.
