Built in 1905, the armouries served as a training site for several militia units during WWI and WWII , meaning pieces of Canada’s past can be easily spotted from the moment you enter the lobby. Yet despite the cavalry sabres and old black-and-white army photos on the walls, the converted Armouries bears modern comfort in mind with recently upgraded bedding in all the rooms, plus a honeymoon suite with a king size bed in a turret and the hotel’s only two-person Jacuzzi.
Check out where the prime minister and performers like Cher might stay when in town (not together!), a huge room that takes up one whole end of the fourth floor. Featuring an electric fireplace, bar, piano and secret passageway down to a second floor room for your security guards, the space can be yours from at $399 per night. Pony up to see how the other half lives!
Regular room rates vary throughout the year, generally upwards of $100.
