Since the early days, Bracebridge accommodations have catered to 'over-nighters' and seasonal visitors. When the primary method of arriving in Bracebridge was by train, great hotels such as the Queen Hotel, the Dominion, and the British Lyon, surrounded the downtown core. As the highways of Ontario opened up, slowly interest began to slip in these vastly popular grand hotels, and in time they began to disappear. Lakeside resorts gave way to world-class golf and hotel destinations, and the grand hotels of downtown Bracebridge gradually became store-fronts and apartments. Of course people still needed a place to stay and so the age of inns, and smaller hotels began. They offered more than just a place to sleep, and those early tourists to Bracebridge began to put our town on the map as time and time again they returned to the full-service and comfortable accommodations of town.

Now, historic inns, bed & breakfasts, hotels, motels and lodges can be found in and around Bracebridge in abundance. Clean rooms and excellent service are the norm in each and every one of these great places, and the constant influx of visitors, especially in the nice weather months, is proof of their success. A visit to many of these accommodations is sure to create great memories that last a lifetime, and in most cases many return visits in the years that follow.

The grand 'rail-side' hotels might be long gone, but a new tradition of excellence and affordability now exists which you can take full advantage of. The best part is, in a lot of these accommodations downtown Bracebridge is only a few minutes walk. On the other hand, some of the older lodges and lakeside resorts offer quiet and solitude right on beautiful Muskoka Lake. Come to Bracebridge and stay, you will be sure to agree that our local accommodations are worth the drive.
