You – yes you – you are long overdue to treat yo’self!
There’s nothing like a getaway that’s not too far from the city, but just far enough to justify shelling out a few bills for an epic experience.
From spas, to amazing dining and amenities, to plush beds and worldly art, it’s time to indulge in some serious self care at a swanky hotel. It’ll all be worth it in the end – right?
If you’re looking for a swanky hotel to drown some cash in, look no further. Here are 5 swanky hotels you have to stay at outside of Brampton, in no particular order.
Pillar and Post, located in the always classic getaway destination Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL), is actually Ontario’s only five-star country inn. Escape to NOTL’s Pillar and Post for their 13,000 square foot indoor and outdoor spa, Tuscan-style fune dining restaurant complete with a poolside patio (if you’re planning a summer trip, perhaps), and a wine bar and lounge. Let’s not forget that this place is walking distance to different parks and attractions in NOTL, so you don’t have to hole up at the inn for the entire weekend – you and your friends, family, or S/O can get out and explore. Vintage hotels are always a good choice for a small group seeking some time away from the city.
