When we arrived in Canada we booked in to stay at the Prince of Wales Hotel, there are only 10 days of off season rates available.
Constructed in 1927 by the Great Northern Railway The Prince of Wales Hotel has striking architectural designs. The design includes soaring roofs, gables and balconies that set this hotel apart from the typical hotel lodging and give the Prince of Wales Hotel a romantic alpine chalet feel. Named after Prince Edward, the hotel offers a traditional British atmosphere complete with afternoon tea.
From our floor looking down to the foyer. All male staff here including the bell boys wear kilts. The girls wear tartan sashes with black skirts or pants, and kilts in the dinning room at night.
Craig was intrigued with the typical railway bridge type construction.
Picture windows in the foyer. High tea is served here every afternoon.
All rooms are in keeping with the era in which the hotel was built. No TV or Internet here, but look at the view from our window.
The Royal Stewart Dining Room offers fine English and Continental Canadian dining. We had breakfast here each morning and dinner Friday night. Craig decided to sample the most expensive dish on the menu - lamb!
