The Inn at Fortune Bridge

Boutique
The Maritimes, Canada

Nestled somewhere within a whimsical 46-acre plot of land on Prince Edward Island, The Inn at Fortune Bridge is an elegant boutique hotel that boasts a fragrant flower garden, an aromatic herb garden, a plethora of walking trails, a handful of cosy fire pits and a local beach just a short walk away.

Offering just six exquisite Parisian-inspired rooms, this former summer home to Broadway playwright Elmer Harris has an impeccable reputation as the only five-star property on the island.

Determined to showcase the people, culture and land of Prince Edward Island, each guest room boasts original artworks crafted by local artists (and available for purchase). A rooftop terrace is an ideal spot to sip sundowners, and the nearby horse paddock belonging to the owners’ daughter makes for a pleasant morning visit for equine lovers.

Why we like Inn at Fortune Bridge

Owned by a formidable husband and wife duo (made up of a Canadian superstar chef with a reputation for sustainable home cooking and an innkeeper with deep-set Maritimes roots), the property has its sights set on becoming one of the world’s leading culinary tourism destinations. Their restaurant FireWorks, named after its 25-foot custom brick-lined wood-burner, showcases a myriad of locally sourced ingredients, and overnight guests are offered priority seating and complimentary chauffeur service in a vintage 1957 Bentley.

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Dream Dome at Ridgeback Lodge £££££

The Maritimes
Unusual

A unique adults-only glamping site in the Canadian Maritimes, the Dream Dome at Ridgeback Lodge is a romantic getaway set against the natural beauty of the Kingston Peninsula. Featuring its own private Japanese wood-fired hot tub, propane barbeque, fully-equipped kitchenette and modern bathroom, the Dream Dome is suited to both hardy campers and lovers of luxury. Come rain, shine or snow, the Dream Dome is a tranquil place to watch the world go through panoramic 180-degree windows from the comfort of a memory foam bed.

Kingsbrae Arms £££££

Canada
Boutique

Located in an unspoiled 19th-century seaside village that lies on the border of Canada and the United States, Kingsbrae Arms is a calming retreat that overlooks the New Brunswick coast. A charming luxury inn with just 10 bedrooms, the property is an under-the-radar hideaway that sits at the gateway to the Canadian Maritimes and the United States’ coveted New England. Offering privacy, peace and comfort, the accommodations range from unique rooms brimming with old-world charm to luxurious balcony suites. Boasting attributes like sweeping views of blooming private gardens, log fireplaces, historic tapestries and shimmering chandeliers, each of the rooms are utterly unique.

The Great George £££££

Canada

Set within a cluster of 17 lovingly restored heritage buildings in the Prince Edward Island capital city, The Great George is an award-winning boutique hotel that is quite unlike any other in downtown Charlottetown. Offering an eclectic mix of classic rooms and suites, multi-room townhouses, luxury apartments and romantic hideaways, the property is made up of 54 individual accommodations. While a plethora of nearby walking and jogging trails complement the in-house fitness centre, we find that the on tap fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, family board games and lobby library can make it hard to leave this comfy island property.

Keltic Lodge at the Highlands £££££

Canada
Wellness and Spa

A majestic property perched on the cliffs overlooking Ingonish Beach, Keltic Lodge at the Highlands is an oceanfront resort set off the Cabot Trail that boasts a world-renowned 18-hole, par 72 golf course. The property offers 120 main lodge rooms, luxurious suites and oceanside cottages, as well as a handful of plush lounges, an outdoor heated pool and a panoramic al fresco restaurant that showcases the fresh flavours of Cape Breton. The seaside spa is built on the edge of the cliffs at Middle Head Peninsula and is the ideal spot for sipping herbal tea and marvelling at the panoramic views of Cape Smokey.

Trout Point Lodge £££££

Canada
Wilderness

Dubbed by National Geographic as one of the ten “most innovative, sustainable travel programmes around the world”, Trout Point Lodge is a luxury wilderness lodge and nature retreat that has garnered a rising collection of major accolades. Set within 100 acres of Canadian backwoods and bordering the Tusket and Napier Rivers, the rustic five-star property offers 12 rooms, suites and cottages that all feature original artworks and antique furnishings.
