Modern Industrial Retreat, Bakery Right Below

About this space

Some mornings you wake to the smell of bread rising up through the floor. The Hearth sits just above Bakery by the Bay, on the second floor of The Brick & Beam, a boutique hotel in an 1885 building on Hurontario Street in downtown Collingwood. Exposed brick, earthy tones, and soft, low light. It`s a warm, luxury one-bedroom that asks nothing of you, the kind of room where the day slows on its own and you`re in no hurry to leave.

One guest wrote, `The hosts were fantastic, clear communication, easy check-in and everything felt thoughtfully taken care of.` (Kortney, Wasaga Beach)

The space

True to its name, the Hearth wraps you in warmth. The bedroom is its own quiet room, a queen bed with an upgraded memory-foam mattress and layered bedding, made for the kind of sleep you don`t want to wake from. Out in the living area, tall black-framed windows carry the light across the day, a queen pull-out sofa waits for two more, and a smart TV is there when you want it.

The kitchen is ready for a real meal in, warm wood and stainless steel with a dishwasher and everything you`d reach for, anchored by a handcrafted table built from timber salvaged from the building`s own 1885 structure. You cook and eat at a piece of the place itself. The bathroom is soft and modern, a walk-in shower, black fixtures, and 100% natural toiletries.

Dark feature walls against exposed brick, warm wood, leather, and Edison-lit pendants, with the original brick behind it all and fresh bread drifting up from below. It`s a room that was here long before you arrived, and it settles you in like it`s glad you came.
