About Charlottetown

Charlottetown is a great sized city - it’s remote, so it’s got everything you might need from a city, but the population is quite small so it’s got all the charm of a small town and not a whiff of pollution or overcrowding. In fact the whole place is charming, as if it’s all a wonderfully preserved museum to itself.You’ll find some of the best places to stay in Charlottetown in the historically beautiful centre of town, but you’ll also find a smattering of the best places to stay in Charlottetown further afield where it’s rural and green.

Despite its size, Charlottetown is quickly gaining the reputation for being a foodie capital as well as the capital of Prince Edward Island. Seafood plays a major role, but there’s plenty of wonderful local produce to inspire the numerous chefs - and Charlottetown seems to have more than its fair share of great chefs.

The harbour is pretty, as is Victoria Park which is just behind it. There’s a gorgeous historic lighthouse at Point Prim, which is the oldest on the island and open to visitors.

There’s also a nice looking marina with numerous bars and restaurants, and there’s plenty to do in Charlottetown’s historic-looking heart too. See Government House with its Doric columns, St. Dunstan’s neo-Gothic Basilica and Beaconsfield Historic House.

The best places to stay in Charlottetown can be fairly busy during the peak summer months, so get organised and book early.

  • The Hillhurst Inn is a luxurious, nine room B&B in a great downtown location. The rooms are large with antique furnishings, and breakfast is taken in a wood panelled dining room. There’s also a library.
