Apartment

A short stroll to the Old Port, Lofts du Vieux-Port in Montreal is a collection of design-led apartments, studios and lofts. Ceilings are high, and the decor will appeal to minimalists (think exposed brick or stone walls, king-size beds and monochromatic bedrooms.) When you manage to pull yourself away, the neighborhoods of downtown, the Village and Chinatown are all within walking distance.

6. Maison Saint-Vincent, Montreal

Apartment

Double bed in white-and-blue-toned room with a brown cabinet at Maison Saint-Vincent, Montréal

Behind a gray brick facade, which dates to 1858, Maison Saint-Vincent offers a very modern abode. Each of the 10 rooms is individually decorated, with soft color palettes – blush pinks and royal blues feature regularly. There’s a touch of European flair here, too, with French door windows, floating shelves, clever kitchenettes and pared-back artwork adorning the walls.

7. LEVEL Furnished Living Yaletown Seymour, Vancouver

Apartment

Outdoor pool with handrail, jacuzzi with handrail, three loungers and city views at LEVEL Furnished Living Yaletown Seymour

Plonked neatly in downtown Vancouver, LEVEL sits alongside plenty of buzzy eateries, bars and clubs.

For when you want to unwind, make a beeline for the heated outdoor saltwater pool.

8. Bill's Place, Alberta

Villa

In the Rocky Mountain town of Canmore, fringing the ever-picturesque Banff National Park, Bill’s Place is where to go in Canada for scenic adventures. With five beautifully appointed bedrooms (each of the four ensuites has underfloor heating), larger parties will love the privacy it affords. When you’re not cooking in the kitchen or lounging in one of the living areas, you’ll be captivated by the mountain views through the windows.
