Charlottetown Harbour, the exquisite two-bedroom suite is lavishly equipped with king and queen beds outfitted with the finest of linens, gorgeous hardwood flooring, and elegant chandeliers. The living area, complete with custom-built furnishings and eye-catching watercolour paintings, invites one to settle in and relax with a generous glass of wine. The white marble bathroom, equipped with a rainfall showerhead, dazzling light fixtures and soft terrycloth robes and slippers is equally breathtaking.
home during your stay in PEI, the Sydney Boutique Inn & Suites will deliver an unforgettable experience. “Every stay is relaxing and pampering,” says MacPherson. “We’ve made sure each suite acts as a relaxing retreat and a quiet escape from the city.”
Following the school’s closure, the property became a retreat for the nuns, and a portion of the building acted as a nursing home for the aging sisters. It was 2013 when the decision was made to close the convent, which was, at the time, home to nearly 30 nuns. By 2014, the building was officially closed, and placed on the market the following year.
The Location
While admittedly, some guests may have a hard time leaving the inn once they have settled into their luxurious suites, Charlottetown has plenty to offer to its visitors. It’s worth exploring, even for a little while. Luckily, the Sydney Inn is situated within walking distance to many of the island’s top restaurants and attractions, making it an ideal choice whether you’re visiting PEI on business or for pleasure.
This is where the story begins.
Welcome to True Indulgence.
As the property was viewed, the investors knew in their core that the structure was meant to be something special; something remarkable, memorable and nothing short of extraordinary. “The thing that intrigued me the most standing on the sidewalk and looking at the property was how timeless the building was,” MacPherson explains. “The lines were simple and clean. Masked behind tall maple trees, it was almost an unknown property to many people.” Despite showing no signs of life, the building had a certain aura about it. Something that, at the time, was hard to put a finger on. All MacPherson knew was that while it had a storied past, its future would be even brighter.
The executive king suite, classically styled to delight all the senses, is no less spectacular. A king bed dressed with premium linens is surrounded by beautiful wool carpeting, elegant crystal chandeliers, and original watercolour paintings of local scenery. And, much like in the Harbour View Suite, the living room features custom built furnishings that are perfect to relax in after a day of sightseeing in PEI. The deluxe king and queen suites are just as impressive, designed with true comfort and elegance in mind. There’s absolutely nothing ordinary about them. In fact, they are unequivocally magnificent. Know this: no matter which suite you choose to make your home-away-from-
The History
The main Notre Dame building — overlooking the Hillsborough Square — was constructed in the mid-1800s to serve as an educational facility. Throughout the years, additions were added, making the already beautifully imposing structure even more so. It remained as such for nearly 120 years, until 1971, when classes ended as new schools were built to meet the needs of a growing community.
