The Belvedere Hotel and Spa is a small boutique hotel at 141 King Street East in downtown Kingston. Its rooms and suites are each different, following the historical floor plans of the building, and mix contemporary and classic design with understated comforts. The hotel has a restaurant, a bar and a lounge, and its spa, the Bathhouse at the Belvedere, is styled after a European bathhouse, with a sauna and a Turkish bath. It is fully non-smoking, has air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, a concierge and luggage storage, and self-service parking is available for a fee. We have not confirmed a formal star class, so the rating field is left at zero.
Location and getting around
King Street East runs along the downtown core toward the waterfront, which puts the harbour, City Hall, Springer Market Square, the cruise docks and most restaurants within an easy walk. You will not need a car for the old town. Fort Henry, Bellevue House and the Penitentiary Museum are short drives or taxi rides away, and for Gananoque and the 1000 Islands you will want a car or a tour. Parking is self-service and charged, so ask about rates when you book.
The rooms and the feel
The hotel says each room and suite is unique and follows the original layout of the historic building, so room sizes and shapes vary and it is worth asking what you are being offered. The style is contemporary with classic touches, quiet rather than flashy. The Bathhouse spa, with its sauna and Turkish bath, is the feature that sets the hotel apart and is a good fit for a cold-weather stay in the off-season, when the forts are closed and a spa afternoon is a welcome plan.
Who it suits and what to know: choose it for couples, special occasions and visitors who value character over a large resort-style pool. The hotel has a restaurant, bar and lounge on site, but breakfast is not described, so confirm what is included. Older buildings can mean stairs and quirks, so ask about accessible rooms if you need them. Multilingual staff, a concierge and luggage storage help with onward travel.
