Beautifully restored, it is now a very comfortable hotel. Nice room, with a spacious living room area adjoining a nicely stocked kitchen (though a microwave would have been nice.) Beautiful touches throughout. Stylish without being uncomfortable, a great balance. All staff were very friendly. The main downside is that the locks (outside doors and to the room) are all controlled by ones' smartphone -- this feels too risky.

Well managed, clean property. The staff were polite and helpful. The room was nicely appointed although lacked space around the bed and insufficient shelving in the room. The mattress was very, very soft which gave you back pain in the morning. Overall we would stay here again for one night but not more than that without a better mattress.

The hotel was beautifully renovated and our room was gorgeous. A good size with all the conveniences you would want in a hotel with a small kitchen. I’m overly sensitive to hotel cleanliness and the Dorchester exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly kind, and went above & beyond for a special birthday surprise for me. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for accommodations in downtown Collingwood!
