The Fairmont Algonquin

ST. ANDREWS-BY-THE-SEA, NEW BRUNSWICK

Set on sparkling Passamaquoddy Bay, the 122-year-old Tudor-style “castle-by-the-sea” has modern touches that allow you to enjoy its historical charm in comfort. At check-in, you’ll see a 1900s photo of the hotel, showing a headless bride in the window; she is said to have died of a broken heart after being jilted at the altar. If you dare, stay in room 473, where guests claim to have witnessed the floating, wedding gown–clad apparition and heard weeping at night. For more spirited tales, request an evening by the outdoor fire pit with one of the Algonquin storytellers, and order some hot chocolate to soothe your goose bumps; 866/540-4403 or fairmont.com/algonquin.
