Rodd Charlottetown
When was the last time you were handed an actual key for a hotel room? You’ll get one at the handsome brick Rodd Charlottetown which, having been built in 1931, comes from the age of luxury railway hotels (just climbing the steps that pass between four pairs of 20-foot columns at the entry is an experience). Rooms can be small, but they have old-fashioned flourishes like heavy drapes and valances with matching bed skirts, plus new perks like very good mattresses. Kids will enjoy paddling about the small indoor pool while parents relax in the whirlpool. Particularly popular is the rooftop patio that overlooks Rochford Park (a small, treed park) and the harbor beyond. The hotel’s Chambers Restaurant, where kids eat free, is open daily for dinner and features prime rib and seafood. The hotel is also home to Canada’s longest running dinner theater, the Feast Dinner Theatre, which entertains with a tightly produced evening of music, improv, and skits.
