Somewhere Inn Reimagines a Collingwood Century Home as a Bespoke Boutique Hotel
Nestled in a quaint downtown district, Somewhere Inn Collingwood puts a spin on the boutique hotel experience
Blending the charm of the past with the comforts of the present, Joel Greaves and Devoon Valliancourt, the husband and wife duo behind Somewhere Inn, have meticulously crafted a bespoke oasis in Collingwood. Their vision transcends typical hospitality, inviting not only guests but also the local community to kick back and unwind.
Paying homage to the hotel’s 100-year history and the beauty of the Blue Mountains, Somewhere Inn Collingwood blends old and new with moody ensuites, vintage loungers, bespoke furniture and restored original flooring.
When I arrived at Somewhere Inn, the tranquility of the place was palpable. The inn is housed in a beautifully renovated century-old home, previously a boarding house, that has been thoughtfully revitalized. The renovation process was more than just a facelift; it was an homage to the building’s storied past, preserving its character while infusing it with modern comforts. The result is a serene retreat that feels both timeless and contemporary, offering spaces that encourage guests to completely relax and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The boutique wine bar offers an assortment of light fare, shareable plates, natural and organic wines, local craft beer and non-alcoholic beverages.
The lobby bar, the heart of the boutique hotel, was designed by Valliancourt. A bar built by Greaves is perfectly juxtaposed with vintage furniture and artwork to curate a space ideal for both your morning coffee and a late-night glass of wine with friends. Adjacent to the lobby, the outdoor patio serves as a communal gathering spot, where both locals and visitors can mingle and share in the inn’s welcoming ambiance.

The rooms at Somewhere Inn feature moody ensuites, cozy coffee nooks and beautiful natural light, fostering an unplugged experience. A peaceful place to rest your head, you can feel the thought that went into designing the spaces to be both functional and chic.
For guests wanting a reset, the inn also features a sauna and a cold plunge pool, perfect for rejuvenating both body and mind. During my stay, I was fortunate enough to participate in a guided meditation session, which left me feeling completely at peace—a testament to the holistic approach to wellness that the inn promotes.
