The MapleRetreatHotels Journey
MapleRetreatHotels began with a passionate vision to create luxury accommodations that celebrate Canada's diverse landscapes while providing unparalleled comfort and service. Founded by Toronto natives Elizabeth and Michael Thornton, our collection started with a single property in the Rocky Mountains that quickly gained recognition for its distinctive approach to Canadian hospitality.
Over the years, we've carefully expanded to include properties that represent the extraordinary variety of Canadian terrain—from coastal rainforests to urban heritage buildings, alpine peaks to vineyard estates. Each property is thoughtfully situated to showcase its natural surroundings while offering guests an authentic connection to local culture and traditions.
Today, MapleRetreatHotels is recognized internationally as a leader in sustainable luxury hospitality, with our properties consistently featured among the world's finest hotels and resorts. We remain committed to our founding vision: creating spaces where guests can experience the true essence of Canada in uncompromising comfort.
