The best hotels in Prince Edward Island

What are the best hotels on Prince Edward Island?

Prince Edward Island may be small, but for us, The Inn at Bay Fortune is the standout hotel on the island. Set on a 48 acre heritage estate in the countryside, this stylish country inn combines a relaxed, distinctly PEI atmosphere with beautiful rooms, attentive service and one of the island’s most celebrated dining experiences. Its famous FireWorks Feast, created by chef Michael Smith, is a major draw, but it’s the combination of food, setting, and local character that makes this our top pick.

Prince Edward Island has the feel of a place that time forgot. Covered with lush green meadows and woods, pretty fishing villages and farmhouses, rich terracotta-coloured soil and wonderful sandy beaches. The best places to stay in Prince Edward Island are gathered both around the main town, Charlottetown, and in the smaller villages and hamlets. As charming as the island itself, the hotels tend to be elegant, traditional, affairs. Perfect for cosying up after a day spent outdoors.
