The Harbourfront is where you should look if you value panoramic views of the Hillsborough River. This area is perfect for those arriving by boat or those who enjoy a brisk morning walk along the boardwalk, with easy access to the Peakes Quay entertainment complex. For a more intimate, quieter experience, the Old Town residential neighborhood features beautiful heritage homes converted into boutique B&Bs.

Finally, for those on a tighter budget or arriving with a vehicle for road-tripping, the Uptown/North of Downtown area offers a selection of contemporary chain hotels and motels. These locations provide easier highway access to explore the rest of Prince Edward Island, including the rural national park beaches, while still remaining within a ten-minute drive of the city core.
