Rosewood Hotel Georgia

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac crowns Cap Diamant within the walls of UNESCO Old Québec — a grand Canadian Pacific railway château from 1893 and one of the most-photographed hotels in the world. Its 610 rooms carry château-style heritage over city, river and turret views; Champlain serves new-Québec cuisine, the 1608 bar pours wine and cheese, and afternoon tea unfolds at Place Dufferin over the St. Lawrence. The cobbled old city begins at the door.

The Four Seasons Resort Whistler is the quiet, intimate alternative in Whistler's Upper Village — a short walk from the Whistler Blackcomb lifts, with a ski valet and concierge to smooth the way. Every room has a fireplace, a balcony and a deep soaker tub; the heated outdoor pool steams against the snow; and Sidecut serves as the signature steakhouse. Private multi-bedroom Residences suit families and groups, on the mountain that hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Fogo Island Inn stands on stilts at the edge of the North Atlantic, off the coast of Newfoundland — a Todd Saunders design icon, Relais & Châteaux, and one of only two Canadian properties to hold Three Michelin Keys. Its 29 one-of-a-kind rooms frame the ocean through floor-to-ceiling windows above handmade island furniture. Stays are all-inclusive: every meal, a personal Community Host who pairs with you, outer gear and on-island transport. The reward is the wild — icebergs on the Labrador Current, whales and puffins, foraging and seven-seasons local cuisine. It is a community-owned social enterprise, with surpluses returned to the island.
