Historic charm, modern sensibility
The Hochelaga Inn, an 1800's Victorian style home, derives its name from the Iroquois word for the area now known as Montreal. The Inn was built in 1879 by John McIntyre, and his wife Harriet, who was related to Sir John A. MacDonald, Canada's first Prime Minister. Following Mr. MacIntyre's death, the house was purchased by the 'Hochelaga Foundation', a segment of the Bank of Montréal, to provide traveling executives with a place to rest.
In 1985, the house was converted into a bed and breakfast hotel. Each of the twenty-one rooms have been uniquely decorated and outfitted with all of the modern conveniences one would expect from a much larger hotel. The Hochelaga Inn is large enough to accommodate group functions, while providing personalized service for every guest.
The Hochelaga Inn is located in the heart of historic Kingston, and is within walking distance to the downtown area's many restaurants, and Kingston's beautiful waterfront. Kingston is sure to arouse the interests of any visitor, offering interesting museums, picturesque art galleries, as well as great shopping and fine dining. The city of Kingston is home to a number of festivals, plays, and special events throughout the year.
