If you’re planning a weekend getaway to Collingwood and want to make the most of it, here’s how.
Start With the Right Accommodations
Your accommodations affect the overall feel of the trip, from the comfort to the convenience. The VanderMarck in the heart of downtown Collingwood is the ideal setting for a luxury weekend.
Our high-end, luxury suites feature private balconies, gas fireplaces, premium linens, designer furnishings, handcrafted bath products and commissioned photography. As an extra special touch, we source our products and furnishings locally whenever possible.
Our convenient location makes it easy to access many businesses and activities within minutes, without needing to worry about parking. And we’re just a short drive from Georgian Bay and The Blue Mountains.
With so much to do in both summer and winter, we strongly recommend reserving early during peak seasons for the best availability.

There is plenty for the outdoor enthusiasts as well, from hiking and bike trails to beaches and waterfront. There is no shortage of things to do in Blue Mountain and Collingwood!
Indulge in Exceptional Fine Dining
Food is a necessary part of any weekend getaway, but it can also be one of the best parts. There are a surprising number of fine dining experiences in Collingwood.
Brunello At 27 On Fourth is a cozy Italian eatery with options such as Filetto Di Branzino, Ravioli con Funghi and chocolate mousse. You can dine indoors or on their patio from Tuesday through Saturday.
Prime Seven Nine is a steakhouse with both casual and fine-dining vibes. Tuna Tataki, filet mignon, blackened salmon and lamb shank are a few items you’ll find on the menu. Walk-ins are welcome, or you can make reservations via their website.
Katherine’s Chateau is another restaurant worth visiting in Collingwood. You can peruse their offerings on the website, including options for lunch, dinner, dessert and afternoon tea.
At The VanderMarck, we want to ensure you enjoy exceptional dining during your stay.

Treat yourself to a delicious culinary experience while saving 10% off your room rate.
To make sure you always have plenty of indulgences on hand, we also offer the Misfits Bodega Room Service package. The offerings are ideal for a late-night craving, midday snack, or to make sure you start your day off right with a nourishing, filling breakfast.
Tips for Making Your Weekend Feel Truly Luxurious
With so much to do in Collingwood, it may be tempting to fill every moment with an activity. However, consider it an opportunity to slow down and relax from the usual hustle and bustle of your daily life.
Focus on quality over quantity by planning fewer but more meaningful experiences. For instance, you can book a private fishing charter and take one-on-one golf lessons. Consider booking spa appointments, rentals, and dining reservations in advance to ensure all your plans are in place.
