Prince of Wales Hotel- Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
Niagara-on-the-Lake is ridiculously quaint, with all the charm that Niagara Falls is missing. While there may be no falls, there are also no casinos or tacky tourist attractions. There is however a lovely main street and plenty of historic buildings, including the Prince of Wales Hotel.

Dorchester Hotel- Collingwood, ON
The first hotel at 172 Hurontario Street was a two story wooden structure called The Dominion, built around 1870. As wooden hotels are wont to do, it burned down in 1889. Unwilling to give up, the owner secured a $6000 mortage and built a three story brick building on the lot, fitted with every modern convenience of the time.

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain- Paradise Valley, AZ
While the current iteration of Sanctuary Camelback Mountain only dates to 2021, the property itself has mid-century roots. While much has changed over the years at the resort, there are still many reminders of its illustrious past, including its classic clubhouse, that bring you back in time.
