During the golden age of Canadian rail travel, the country's premier railway operators built some of the world's grandest hotels. Most could be found in our big cities, complimenting the nearby grand railroad stations, with a few built to display Canada's natural beauty. As rail travel lost favour through the mid to late 20th century, a few others were built in much more modern, utilitarian style.
As time went on, some were demolished, some were lost to fire, a few re-purposed, but many of them still stand today as an integral part of our towns, cities and National Parks.
This thread is dedicated to these grand hotels that hold a place of honour on the Canadian landscape, along with the few that were lost in history.
To get us started, here's a (likely incomplete) list of those hotels.
