The next stop on our mini road trip in Ontario is The next stop on our mini road trip in Ontario is Toronto 🚘

Since we only had a short amount of time in the city, we wanted to make the most of it. We opted to stay in the downtown core, right next to the CN Tower and Rogers Centre, at @sohohoteltoronto 🛌

Our oversized room was fantastic, with an incredible view of the CN Tower from the window, and plenty of space to relax and work during the evening 💻

We also took avantage of the pool and on-site cafe ☕️

@sohohoteltoronto is one of the best quiet luxury hotels in Toronto, and you really can’t beat its location! 🇨🇦

From Montreal to Ottawa! 🚘 The Canadian capita From Montreal to Ottawa! 🚘

The Canadian capital is a great stopping point if you’re doing a road trip through Ontario and Quebec, as it sits right on the border of the two provinces 😃

To get the most out of your time in the city, I’d recommend staying around the ByWard Market area, at @andazottawa 💤

Our Canadian-designed hotel room was very spacious. It was equipped with a comfy king-size bed and it had a stunning view of Parliament Hill in the distance. At sunset the view was even more spectacular 🌅

If you don’t have a room with a view, you can head up to the top floor and enjoy one of the most popular rooftop bars in Ottawa 🍹

Would you like to stay at this contemporary modern hotel in Ottawa during your stay in the nation’s capital? 🇨🇦

Montreal is one of the most visited cities in Cana Montreal is one of the most visited cities in Canada - and it’s not hard to see why 🇨🇦

If it’s your first time in the city, I’d recommend staying in the heart of the old town at the 5th best hotel in Canada (according to Condé Nast Traveler 2025) 😎

We spent one night at @hotelwilliamgray which is a unique luxury hotel that features classic rooms in a timeless style 🛌

Our room had a beautiful view of the Old Port of Montreal, and it was very quiet so we had a great sleep 💤

The hotel also features plenty of shared seating areas, a luxury spa, a fitness room and terrace, and a few dining options (including a rooftop bar/restaurant and a charming cafe) 🍹
