Set between Collingwood and Blue Mountain, Georgian Bay Hotel puts you close to the things that bring people to Southern Georgian Bay, while giving you a quieter place to return to at the end of the day.

The hotel is just minutes from Blue Mountain, with Georgian Bay, the Georgian Trail, beaches, parks and plenty of places to eat all close by. And when you’re ready to call it a day, there’s plenty of room to settle in.

The rooms and suites are spacious, with kitchenettes and full kitchens available in select accommodations. Some suites also have fireplaces, which are particularly appealing after a winter day on the trails or slopes. Families have plenty of space to spread out, while the hotel’s playground, grassy grounds, tennis court and pools give kids somewhere to burn off some energy.

The heated indoor saltwater pool is open year-round, while the outdoor pool is a summer favourite. Complimentary bicycles make it easy to get out and explore Collingwood, and there are BBQ areas for relaxed meals outside.

For couples, the hotel has a different kind of appeal. You can spend the day hiking, cycling or exploring the shops and restaurants of Collingwood, then head to Scandinave Spa Blue Mountain for some time in the thermal baths. Back at the hotel, dinner at Gustav Chophouse & Bar is a perfect way to end the day.

The area changes with the seasons, too. Summer is made for beaches and the water; fall brings hiking, colourful forests, orchards and cideries; and winter puts Blue Mountain’s ski slopes, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing within easy reach.

Georgian Bay Hotel is a good choice when you want to make the most of the area but still have a comfortable place to come back to at the end of the day. Whether you’re travelling with the kids, planning a weekend for two or simply looking for a few days outdoors, it gives you a relaxed home base in one of Ontario’s favourite four-season destinations.
