Located on Burlington's vibrant waterfront, The Pearle Hotel & Spa, Autograph Collection has opened its doors, offering an urban retreat with a storied look into Burlington's rich past. As Ontario's first Autograph Collection, the new lifestyle hotel joins a diverse and dynamic collection of over 240 independent hotels hand-selected for their inherent craft and distinct perspective on design and hospitality.

"We are proud to add The Pearle Hotel & Spa to our collection of properties," said Aaron Ciancone, president, Pearle Hospitality Inc. "In honour of our beloved grandmother Pearle, we will carry on her decades-long legacy of genuine and thoughtful hospitality that endures to this day through our newest property."

Inviting Design

Collaborating with award-winning firm Studio Munge, The Pearle Hotel & Spa is Pearle Hospitality's first foray into contemporary design. Just steps from waterfront, the hotel emulates a modern lake house with elegant white oak paneling, tranquil views of the lake, and the heart of downtown Burlington. Through thoughtful design, the 151 guest rooms, event spaces, spa, and restaurants reflect a coastal feel paired with spectacular views. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by artwork from local artists and warm hues of the hotel lobby, which instantly spark a welcoming ambiance. The grand cascading spiral staircase in the centre of the lobby begins the journey through the hotel's inviting amenities.

Coastal Inspired Cuisine

The Pearle Hotel & Spa is home to Isabelle Restaurant and Lounge, led by Chef Ben Heaton. Isabelle's seasonal menu takes inspiration from both the fresh coastal cuisines of California and the Mediterranean and farm-driven, local and seasonal ingredients. Guests will enjoy an expansive lakeside terrace destined to be a space for sharing and connecting. The hotel is also home to the fourth location of the popular Earth to Table: Bread Bar serving freshly baked goods, pizza, sandwiches and salads, with casual café seating and access from the hotel and street.

Rejuvenate at The Pearle Spa

Serving as the ultimate source of solace, The Pearle Spa offers guests a curated list of personalized rejuvenating treatments such as the Rose Quartz Facial and the Meso Infusion Hydration Body Treatment. The spa amenities also include a Hamman steam room and an indoor pool.

Unforgettable Experiences

A hallmark of the dynamic hotel is the exclusive events space featuring expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, hand-blown fixtures by local artisans, and breathtaking lake views. With the exceptional service of the events team at the forefront, The Pearle Hotel & Spa is the perfect venue to make any moment memorable, from executive retreats to weddings.

The Namesake, Pearle Ciancone

The Pearle Hotel & Spa is inspired by the Ciancone family's grandmother, Pearle – a trailblazer whose work ethic, passion, and meticulous attention to detail made her first restaurant, the Hillcrest in Hamilton, a tremendous success. This is one of the many key milestones Pearle Hospitality Inc. was founded on. In her honour, each guest room will have a 'handwritten' note from Pearle alongside postcards with images from Burlington as she knew it – full of vintage sunbathing attire, beach days, and horse-drawn carriages. With these, guests are encouraged to use the hotel's mailboxes to send a note to loved ones while away. Intimately connecting to the narrative, Pearle's most beloved pieces, such as her coveted broach and personal recipes, will be on at the hotel.

The Pearle Hotel & Spa, Autograph Collection will participate in Marriott Bonvoy – the award-winning travel program from Marriott International – allowing members to earn and redeem points for their stay at the new hotel, and at other hotels and resorts across Marriott Bonvoy's extraordinary portfolio of brands.
