Day five transports you to charming Niagara-on-the-Lake, established in 1792 as Canada's first capital and now renowned for its Shaw Festival theater and world-class wineries benefiting from the region's unique microclimate created by Lake Ontario's moderating influence. Victorian mansions line tree-shaded streets while vineyard tours reveal award-winning ice wines and Rieslings. Your sixth day combines High Park's 400 acres of natural beauty—famous for spectacular cherry blossoms gifted by Japan in 1959 that transform the park into a pink wonderland each May—with the bohemian energy of Kensington Market, where vintage shops, international food stalls, and street art create Toronto's most eclectic neighborhood, reflecting the multicultural spirit that makes this city one of the world's most diverse.
Days 2 - 4
Days two through four blend world-class culture with natural wonders, culminating in one of the planet's most powerful waterfalls.
Your second day combines the Royal Ontario Museum's spectacular collections—from dinosaur fossils to ancient Egyptian artifacts housed in Daniel Libeskind's striking crystalline architecture—with the sophisticated pleasures of Yorkville, Toronto's answer to Rodeo Drive, where this former 1960s hippie enclave now showcases luxury boutiques and sidewalk cafes. Day three immerses you in authentic Toronto flavors at St. Lawrence Market, operating continuously since 1803 and ranked among the world's great food markets, before ferry rides to the Toronto Islands reveal stunning city skylines and peaceful beaches just minutes from downtown chaos.
Your fourth day delivers the thunderous spectacle of Niagara Falls, where 150,000 gallons of water per second crash 167 feet down the Horseshoe Falls, creating rainbows in the mist and an earth-shaking roar that inspired daredevils and honeymooners for over two centuries. The iconic Maid of the Mist boat tour brings you impossibly close to this natural wonder.

Best Luxury Hotels in Canada: Conte's Seasonal Picks for 2025
Fairmont Banff Springs
Banff, Canada
Perched inside Banff National Park, the hotel - nicknamed the “Castle in the Rockies” - dates back to 1888, built originally as a grand railway‑era hotel. It combines historic castle‑style architecture with modern comfort, offering hundreds of rooms and suites, many with breathtaking views over alpine peaks and valleys.
Guests at Fairmont Banff Springs enjoy a broad variety of experiences through the seasons. An expansive spa - the renowned Willow Stream Spa - delivers waterfalls, mineral pools, sauna and a wide menu of treatments. In winter, it’s a gateway to nearby ski hills; in summer, it sits beside an award‑winning 27‑hole golf course and offers hiking, horseback riding and river‑valley adventures. Dining is equally rich - from fine Alberta steak and game to Italian and alpine‑style fare, across multiple restaurants and lounges within the hotel.
Hotel 71
Québec, Canada
Hotel 71 sits in a historic, 19th-century stone building in the heart of Old Québec’s Old Port - once the head office of the then‑National Bank of Canada, now transformed into a refined boutique hotel with 60 contemporary rooms and suites. The rooms blend minimalist modern design with historic charm: expect hardwood floors, high ceilings, rainfall‑shower bathrooms, Nespresso machines, minibars, and in some rooms terraces or views of the city or St. Lawrence River.
For dining and socialising, the hotel’s Italian restaurant Il Matto offers stylish meals and drinks, while a rooftop terrace and lobby espresso lounge give pleasant spots to relax or meet friends. Hotel 71 also offers perks like free Wi‑Fi, 24‑hour gym and business centre, free bicycle rentals, and concierge services - making it a great base for exploring Québec’s historic core or attending business events.
1 Hotel Toronto
Toronto, Canada
1 Hotel Toronto is a sustainable‑luxury hotel located in the vibrant King West Village area of downtown Toronto, just a short walk from the waterfront, trendy Queen Street West, and Trinity Bellwoods Park.

Rosewood Hotel Georgia
Vancouver, Canada
Rosewood Hotel Georgia feels like stepping into a more glamorous era—think polished marble, jazz notes in the air, and staff who greet you like old friends. At the city’s heart, it’s as elegant as it is unpretentious.
Rooms are calm and quietly sumptuous; the cocktail bar is a destination in itself. Whether you’re catching a show, shopping on Robson, or simply soaking in the spa, Rosewood is a timeless base with a beautifully modern soul.
Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge
British Columbia, Canada
Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is where raw nature meets refined comfort, deep in the old-growth forests of British Columbia. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this tented retreat offers canvas-topped suites with polished wood, plush linens, and the soundtrack of the forest all around.
Days are filled with bear sightings, cold plunges, and campfire storytelling; evenings bring candlelit dinners that rival any fine city dining. It's worth visiting alone for its Equestrian Ranch; being known as the place for the ocean, Bedwell river activities, and the most excellent of equestrian activities in one property. Recently awarded the accolade of 3 Michelin Keys, it’s a place where you disconnect completely - then reconnect with something far more lasting.
Fogo Island Inn
Fogo Island, Canada
Fogo Island Inn isn’t just remote - it’s otherworldly. Perched above crashing North Atlantic waves, the inn feels both stark and nurturing, like it grew out of the landscape. Rooms are raw-luxe: handmade quilts, wood-burning stoves, and windows that frame the horizon like a living painting.
You come here for quiet, for space, for wind that rattles your bones and stories that stay with you. Every detail is intentional, every stay deeply personal. It’s less about luxury and more about meaning - about being somewhere that reminds you how wild and precious the world can be.
