A Stately Address on Kent Street

Right in the centre ofCharlottetown, the Rodd Charlottetown Hotel stands as one of the city's most recognisable heritage buildings. Operated under the Rodd Hotels & Resorts banner, it carries a façade that reflects the elegance and craftsmanship associated with the great Canadian National Railway Hotels, a design language that gave Canadian travel its golden-age silhouette. For generations, the building has welcomed dignitaries and travellers seeking a stay defined by character, confidence, and warm Island hospitality, and its enduring presence still sets the tone for the block.
The Lobby: Marble, Chandeliers, and Barrel-Vaulted Ceilings
Step through the doors and the first impression is theatre. The grand lobby is framed by marble floors and barrel-vaulted ceilings, with chandeliers and antique furnishings signalling historic elegance from the very first step. It is the kind of arrival space that invites a slow look around before heading further into the hotel — equal parts railway-era grandeur and warm Island welcome.
Rooms with a Sense of Place
The hotel offers a variety of rooms, including the Standard Room Queen, which is rooted in the building's 1930s character and offers an intimate retreat in the heart of downtown Charlottetown. Standard rooms are placed on the higher floors of the property and come equipped with a flat-screen cable TV, fridge, and coffee-making facilities, giving a practical and comfortable base for a stay built around exploring the city.
Chambers Restaurant & Bar: A Taste of PEI
On-site dining is led by Chambers Restaurant & Bar, a venue that celebrates Prince Edward Island's reputation as Canada's Food Island with locally sourced ingredients and classic hospitality. Guests can match the moment to the space: an indoor setting rich with character just off the lobby, a seasonal front patio suited to relaxed people-watching, or the rooftop patio, which lifts diners above the street for elevated views over the city. Each setting offers its own atmosphere, united by attentive service and a sense of place.
