Romantic King Suite, Gas Fireplace, Chef`s Kitchen

The room you book to mark something. The Carmichael is the flagship luxury suite at The Brick & Beam, a boutique hotel in an 1885 building on Hurontario Street in downtown Collingwood. Vaulted ceilings, original timber beams, and tall windows over the street, with a king bed and a gas fireplace set in original brick. It`s the largest of the four, made for slow mornings and long evenings by the fire.

One guest wrote, `The red kitchen was a standout, and the big windows filled the apartment with natural light.` (Nadine, Bowmanville)

The space

High and open, with vaulted ceilings, original exposed beams, and tall east-facing windows that fill the room with morning light. The bedroom has a king bed with an upgraded memory-foam mattress and soft linens, and the living area holds a queen pull-out sofa that sleeps two more. A gas fireplace framed in original brick, a smart TV, furnace heating, and air conditioning for any season.

The kitchen is built for real cooking, a bold red kitchen with full-size stainless steel appliances, a gas range, cookware, and a Keurig, anchored by a large island that seats four and a full dining table. The renovated bathroom has a double vanity and a glass walk-in shower with striking teal tile.

Original brick, timber, and a warm oversized chandelier give the room real presence. It`s the one guests take when the stay is the occasion.

Yours for the stay, plus the shared interior hallway. The suite is on the second floor, reached by stairs from the front entrance on Hurontario Street or the rear entrance beside Bakery by the Bay. There is no elevator in the building.
