About this home
Set within one of Kingston's few remaining heritage limestone estates, constructed in 1817, Whitney Manor is a luxury five-suite boutique accommodation property near the St. Lawrence River and minutes from downtown. The Manor brings together more than two centuries of architectural history with an established hospitality operation. Spanning approximately 6,502 square feet, the property comprises 3 two-bedroom and 2 one-bedroom self-contained suites, each named for a chapter of the Manor's past and shaped by its own character. Cathedral ceilings, hand-hewn beams, exposed limestone and original pine floors remain visible throughout. Ranging from approximately 920 - 1,630 square feet, each suite includes a full kitchen, living and dining areas, in-suite laundry and a private balcony or patio, with several offering private entrances. Careful stewardship has preserved the scale, materiality and character of the original estate. Generous ceiling heights, principal rooms and the layered history distinguish Whitney Manor from a conventional hotel or short-term accommodation. The suites function independently while remaining part of a singular architectural whole. Annual occupancy has ranged from approximately 70% to 77%, with peak summer periods reaching as high as 95%. Its heritage designation, residential zoning with legal non-conforming use support continued operation, partial owner occupation, or selective food and beverage, wellness and curated stay programming. The adjacent vacant parcel at 4 Starr Place is also available, introducing long-term flexibility. Positioned near the midpoint of the Toronto-Ottawa-Montréal corridor, Kingston is supported by Queen's University, the Royal Military College of Canada, year-round tourism, and its gateway position to the Thousand Islands. Whitney Manor offers an established hospitality operation within a heritage property of architectural significance, with an adaptable framework for its next chapter.
