Friday:
Settle In & Soak Up the Vibes
Check in at The Archie & Isidore Hotel by 4 PM – your weekend of winter bliss starts here!
Relax Your Way: Take a soothing dip in the outdoor hot tub (nothing like crisp winter air and steaming water), or get one last workout in for the week at our onsite gym.
Dinner & Drinks at L’abri: Dress up (because why not?) and enjoy a delicious meal at L’abri. Don’t miss their stellar bar offerings, with plenty of non-alcoholic options for those keeping it light.

Saturday:
Wake Up Slow & Sip Something Good
Start your day with a Nespresso coffee in the comfort of your room (and don’t forget to wrap yourself in one of our cozy robes – you deserve it).
Fuel Up & Shop Local: Once you’re ready, grab round two of caffeine magic at Marguerite boutique et provisions. Pair your espresso with a delicious pastry and browse their curated treasures – books, gifts, craft supplies, specialty snacks, and more.
Get Outside & Breathe the Fresh Air:
For a quick, beautiful winter walk, head to the Gypsum Mines Trail.
Feeling adventurous? Lace up those boots (or strap on snowshoes) and hit a world-famous hike in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The Acadian Trail or Skyline Trail will leave you breathless in the best way.
