The room you book to mark something. The Carmichael is the flagship luxury suite at The Brick & Beam, a boutique hotel in an 1885 building on Hurontario Street in downtown Collingwood. Vaulted ceilings, original timber beams, and tall windows over the street, with a king bed and a gas fireplace set in original brick. It`s the largest of the four, made for slow mornings and long evenings by the fire.
One guest wrote, `The red kitchen was a standout, and the big windows filled the apartment with natural light.` (Nadine, Bowmanville)

The space
High and open, with vaulted ceilings, original exposed beams, and tall east-facing windows that fill the room with morning light. The bedroom has a king bed with an upgraded memory-foam mattress and soft linens, and the living area holds a queen pull-out sofa that sleeps two more. A gas fireplace framed in original brick, a smart TV, furnace heating, and air conditioning for any season.
The kitchen is built for real cooking, a bold red kitchen with full-size stainless steel appliances, a gas range, cookware, and a Keurig, anchored by a large island that seats four and a full dining table. The renovated bathroom has a double vanity and a glass walk-in shower with striking teal tile.
Original brick, timber, and a warm oversized chandelier give the room real presence. It`s the one guests take when the stay is the occasion.
