Welcome to the British Hotel in Aylmer, Quebec! Nestled in the heart of this charming historic town, our beautifully restored 19th-century hotel offers a perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort. Enjoy luxurious rooms with vintage decor, free Wi-Fi, and plush bedding. Savor gourmet dining at our on-site restaurant, sip a glass of wine at the bar, take your dog to the dog spa and explore nearby attractions like the Aylmer Marina and Gatineau Park!

The space
This one-of-a-kind room is steeped in history. In fact, its large windows once opened onto a balcony where the Prince of Wales addressed the population in 1860. It is furnished with a king-sized bed, sleeper sofa, luxurious bathroom with a freestanding tub, and a decorative fireplace set in the original stone hearth.
Built in 1834 by Robert Conroy, the British Hotel has stood as a witness to some of the most important events in western Quebec’s, and indeed, Canada’s history.
The British has been an inn for weary travelers passing through Aylmer to take the steamboat up the Ottawa River, a venue for world-class music, and a gathering place for Canada’s post-Confederation elite. Its 180-year-old walls have sheltered prime ministers, senators, country music stars, royalty, Quebec legends, and even a few alleged assassins on the run.
In 2014, a group of local entrepreneurs undertook painstaking renovations and restoration work to return Canada’s oldest hotel, as well as the old Provincial Bank of Canada building next door, to its former glory.
