set within one of kingston’s few remaining heritage limestone estates constructed in 1817, whitney manor is a luxury five-suite boutique accommodation property located in a quiet residential enclave near the st. lawrence river, the manor brings together more than two centuries of architectural history with an established luxury hospitality operation, within minutes of downtown kingston.
spanning approximately 6,502 sf, the property is configured as five self contained suites, comprising three two-bedroom and two one-bedroom accommodations. each suite is named for a chapter of the manor’s past and shaped by its own distinct architectural character. cathedral ceilings, hand-hewn beams, exposed limestone, original pine floors and former estate rooms remain visible throughout. ranging from approximately 920 to 1,630 square feet, each suite includes a full kitchen, living and dining areas, in-suite laundry and a private balcony or patio, with several opening through their own private entrances.
the property has been maintained with careful attention to the scale, materiality and character of the original estate. generous ceiling heights, substantial principal rooms and the layered evidence of the building’s history distinguish whitney manor from a conventional hotel or short-term accommodation property. the result is a collection of private suites that function independently while remaining part of a singular and architecturally significant whole.
the established hospitality model has achieved annual occupancy rates ranging from approximately 70% to 77%, with peak summer periods reaching as high as 95%. the property’s heritage designation, residential zoning and legal non-conforming accommodation use support a range of potential ownership models, including continued operation as a five-suite boutique accommodation, partial owner occupation, an inn or bed-and-breakfast format, or the introduction of selective food and beverage, wellness or curated stay programming.
positioned near the midpoint of the toronto-ottawa-montréal corridor, kingston is one of ontario’s most recognized historic destinations, supported by queen’s university, the royal military college of canada, year-round tourism, and its position as the gateway to the thousand islands.
whitney manor offers an opportunity to acquire a heritage property of genuine architectural significance, together with an established hospitality operation and an adaptable framework for its next chapter.
