What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
On the Burlington waterfront, directly on Lake Ontario, The Pearle is a relatively new addition to Canada's luxury hotel landscape and one that delivers on the promise.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Burlington's lakefront promenade runs right outside the door, and downtown restaurants are an easy stroll away.
The rooms
Rooms are finished in pale wood and warm neutrals, and lakefront options look straight across the open water.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A stainless water cascade feeds the indoor pool, lined with daybeds looking out across Lake Ontario.
The spa
Curtained daybeds furnish the relaxation lounge, and treatment rooms host Icelandic rituals alongside EviDenS de Beauté facials.
The hammam and gym
A mosaic-tiled eucalyptus steam hammam offers contrast showers, steps away from a fitness room with Technogym machines and weights.
Isabelle Restaurant + Lounge
Teal velvet banquettes line the lakeside dining room, which opens onto an outdoor terrace serving Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
At the table
Pearle's Cafe serves morning coffee and baked goods on a brick terrace, and private dining rooms overlook the water.
How it began
The hotel honors matriarch Pearle Ciancone, whose family business started with a Hamilton dairy counter in 1936.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
