A real gem just outside of downtown Hamilton, Kingston House B&B is a four-room charmer whose owners treat guests like family. With stunning Victorian architecture and homey decor throughout, Kingston House is the perfect place for travelers looking for an authentic Bermudian stay. Though it’s not on the beach, Kingston House is within walking distance of Hamilton’s downtown shops, restaurants, and ferry terminal. There’s a small outdoor pool and a guest lounge with a fireplace, but many guests choose to spend their days off property. The nearby Edgehill Manor Guesthouse is a similar property with more rooms and a bigger pool, but nightly rates tend to be more expensive.

The upscale Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello is set in a little village of barely 1,000 residents, and most travelers head this way simply to experience the resort and its famed facilities, including its top-shelf golf course and record-holding indoor pool. While the 211 rooms feature several modern amenities like data ports and HDTVs, worn interiors in rooms and throughout the hotel do betray its age, which extend back to 1930. The beautifully kept grounds, views, range of recreational activities, and historic charm are big draws. For the traveler simply looking to experience Montebello, the Auberge Montebello bed-and-breakfast offers a smaller, lower-cost option closer to the main town, but it lacks any of the Fairmont's stellar features.

The Four Points Sheraton Levis Convention Center is a comfortable, stylish place for a business retreat, featuring spacious, modern rooms with great light. Bathrooms are contemporary, and some have appealing soaking tubs and separate walk-in showers. The year-round outdoor heated pool is a nice touch -- though it may not be particularly appealing during Quebec winters. The distance from Quebec City is a bit of a detractor for this hotel, but a shuttle bus to the Old City is available from June through September, and a ferry that connects directly to the Old City is nearby. For a cost effective and stylish way to see the Old City, Four Points is a solid pick.

The four-pearl Westin Trillium House Blue Mountain is a lovely, ski-oriented hotel at the base of Blue Mountain, two hours north of Toronto. Its 224 spacious guest rooms and suites feature fireplaces, equipped kitchens, sleeper sofas, and balconies or patios. All units are equipped with flat-screen TVs, robes, and safes, and bathrooms have wide granite vanities, and some have shower/tub combos. There's an outdoor pool, a large fitness center, a full-service restaurant and bar, plus oodles of kid-friendly activities, but there's no spa, and Wi-Fi isn't free for most guests. The hotel can be pricey in peak ski season, and rates tend to spike. Travelers looking for a more affordable alternative nearby can consider Georgian Bay Hotel & Conference Centre.

The 465-room Sheraton Montreal Airport is a three-and-a-half-pearl hotel located near the airport. In addition to its restaurant and bar, ample meeting spaces, and full fitness center, the Sheraton Montreal is the only airport hotel with a vast garden terrace. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, though decor is unsurprisingly straightforward for the chain. Care should be taken when booking since those overlooking the runway may be noisy and some rooms are a long walk from the elevators due to the hotel’s circular plan. Although the similarly priced Aloft property across the street has less stellar facilities – its pool and fitness facilities are smaller – it may appeal to travelers seeking fresher decor, Pop Art-inspired accessories, and 24/7 access to grab-and-go meals.
