This hotel is right on the main street of downtown Collingwood and carries so much charm. An old hotel, turned apartment, back into hotel, the Dorchester has a historic but comfortable and upscale feeling to it. Being a smaller hotel, the spaces feel quaint but luxury, and with a new restaurant and conference space on the horizon; this hotel is well-suited for any kind of traveller!
