Catalog
A general cross-section of accommodation, read the slow way — through the room you would sleep in, the address it stands at, and the region around it. Five properties, five different kinds of setting, each described on the same terms.
Etobicoke, Ontario · 4-star (★★★★☆)
Set in Etobicoke, on Toronto's western edge near the airport, this four-star hotel is the city-facing half of a larger resort campus. It suits travellers moving through town rather than away from it — an easy base for city-paced days.
Vancouver, British Columbia · 5-star (★★★★★)
A five-star address in the heart of downtown Vancouver, this high-rise hotel keeps the harbour and the mountains in view from its upper floors. It is a city-centre stay in the fullest sense: street life directly below, skyline out the window.
Kananaskis, Alberta · 3-star (★★★☆☆)
Set against the foothills of Kananaskis, this three-star mountain resort suits days that involve the range rather than the lobby. The country around the door is wide and quiet — the kind you come to drive, walk and watch the weather cross.
Whitecap, Saskatchewan · 4-star (★★★★☆)
Far from any provincial capital, this four-star resort stands out on the open prairie outside Whitecap, where the horizon does most of the decorating. It is a countryside stay in the unambiguous sense: flat, wide and quiet.
La Malbaie, Quebec · 5-star (★★★★★)
Perched on the edge of the St. Lawrence at La Malbaie, this five-star manor is the historic anchor of a waterfront resort on the gulf. It is a place where the region does the talking: the bay below, and the Laurentians behind.
