Warm colors mix with elegant trims and large wooden beds in the rooms of this welcoming B&B. There are modern amenities throughout and a gorgeous sitting room and balcony where guests can mingle and swap whale stories.
It's a 20-minute hike (uphill) from the town center, but oh, it really is a stunning view. Several common balconies take in the harbor below. The rooms are bright and modern, if a bit small.
The higher-end rooms in this old merchant's home have a canopied bed, fireplace and Jacuzzi, which explains why the Globe and Mail designated Leaside as one of Canada's 'most romantic destinations.
It's a toss-up who has more character: the energized owner Carola or the building itself. Crooked homemade furniture resists the steeply plunging floors, and electrical cords and world maps adorn the walls.
While the Balmoral is a typical B&B in many ways (cherub statues, long wooden antique tables), its owners live off-site and breakfast is self-serve, so it's more relaxed and private than many B&Bs.
Take tea from a seat on Cantwell's deck and stare out over a colorful collage of row houses to the blue harbor. The B&B's friendly atmosphere combines with a sense of privacy amid Victorian ambience.
Built from the same historic stone as Cabot Tower and Government House, this B&B provides towering plasterwork ceilings, fireplaces and original artwork in its rooms. It was for sale at press time, so changes may be in the offing.
Thank the Great Fire of 1892 for sparing this historic home. It's set across from Government House and full of 19th-century opulence. Superb architectural details, grand canopy beds, fireplaces and mighty bathtubs embellish the rooms.
It's everything a good hostel should be: well located near the action, spic 'n' span facilities, not too big (16 beds in all), and helpful. A whiteboard lists everything of interest happening in town each day.
It's the Marriott chain's typical property, with comfy beds. Some rooms have harbor views (about $10 extra). Wi-fi access is lobby only.
Polished floorboards, plasterwork ceilings, ornate fireplaces, bright-colored walls and beds you'll have trouble leaving make this B&B memorable. The living and dining rooms are as swank as they are comfy.
The Delta is the main, amenity-laden business hotel in town; it's located next to the convention center. Parking costs $11.
