Our Neighbourhood

We’re located just steps from Stratford’s best shopping, galleries, dining, and theatre.

Stratford Festival: A World-Class Theatre Experience

At the heart of Stratford’s cultural identity is the legendary Stratford Festival—North America’s leading classical repertory theatre. Running from April through mid-November, the Festival presents an incredible lineup of Shakespearean classics, contemporary dramas, musicals, and new Canadian works across four distinct venues. Our hotel is just steps from the Avon Theatre (350 meters), Studio Theatre (450 meters), and Tom Patterson Theatre (700 meters).

Explore Nature

Step outside the theatre and into Stratford’s serene natural spaces. Walk or cycle the scenic trails along the Avon River, feed the ducks and swans, or unwind in the beautifully manicured Shakespearean Gardens. In the warmer months, enjoy a paddleboat ride or a river tour.

Savour the local food scene

Stratford’s culinary culture is a destination in itself. Stroll along Ontario Street to discover cozy cafés, international eateries, and gourmet restaurants. Embark on local tasting experiences with The Stratford Chocolate Trail or The Bacon and Ale Trail.

Shopping

Downtown Stratford is full of one-of-a-kind shops, from vintage boutiques and bookstores to local artisans and curated gift shops. Find handmade treasures, original artwork, and everything in between along Ontario and Downie Streets.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

  • Gina P. - Google review, Nov. 2024

    “The bed was incredibly comfortable. Had the choice of checking in online or at their sister hotel, The Windsor as there is no staff at hotel. Received pass code to hotel and room, which was very convenient. Staff communication was impeccable as they sent us texts throughout our short stay to check if we needed anything. Room provided real glasses, wine glasses, a Nespresso machine and a breakfast box with muffin, croissant and fruit in the morning. We have stayed in multiple accommodations in Stratford over past 20 years and the price of this hotel and service was truly a bargain. The location and walkability to shops, restaurants and theaters was perfect.”

  • Chris M. - Google review, Oct. 2024

    “This is our second, and definitely not our last, time staying. The staff are excellent, courteous and very helpful. The hotel is clean and the rooms are unique and it's perfectly situated to walk to anything you might need. Wouldn't stay anywhere else!”

  • Barbara A. - Google review, Sep. 2024

    “Perfect, small historical hotel in the center of Stratford. Securely park your car there and enjoy the stroll throughout the town to any one of the theaters that are just minutes away. Enjoy a Beautiful walk along the lake and Parks. We stayed in the lovely suite that included two bathrooms , living room area with pull out comfy bed, fireplace and a separate king bed with a refrigerator. The shower was very warm and strong pressure. Hotel management was very kind to give us two delicious chocolate mousse cakes to celebrate my friend's birthday. Also, the box breakfast in the morning had a delicious oversized fresh, blueberry muffin very large buttered croissant and a fresh orange ; there's plenty of cappuccino to make or tea in the suite. A delightful stay and very ,very clean”
