What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
its units are less like typical hotel rooms and more like loft apartments, split across two levels and full of contrast between modern design and antique ecclesiastical architecture.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Step outside to Princess Street restaurants and galleries, with the historic downtown waterfront just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Split-level lofts feature heated concrete floors, reclaimed barn wood stairs, full kitchens, and record players with curated vinyl collections.
How it began
Built in 1864 as Queen Street United Church, the building once hosted Sunday school classes and later a gym before its residential conversion.
