A Wellness Getaway in Kingston including Rail

Day 1:

Hop aboard a VIA Rail train from Toronto or Ottawa and head to Kingston to start your 3-day retreat. Relax as you enjoy the snowy views out your train window without having to worry about traffic or weather reports.

Once you arrive in Kingston, you’ll head to your home for the duration of your stay: the Delta by Marriott Kingston Waterfront hotel, approximately 15 minutes from the train station.

Set in the heart of historic downtown Kingston, the hotel has views over Confederation Harbour and Lake Ontario. Soak in the scenery from the indoor rooftop pool or go for a walk along the serene waterfront.

Famous for its culinary offerings, Kingston has no shortage of amazing restaurants, bars and cafes. Take pleasure in walking along the historic centre to discover new culinary delights or opt to sign up for one of the city’s famous food tours. Your stay in Kingston includes a gift card to use at any one of the Black Dog restaurants, which include the Black Dog Tavern, Atomica Kitchen, Harper’s Burger Bar and Dianne’s.

Day 2:

Enjoy breakfast at one of Kingston’s delicious cafes and bakeries. There are plenty of places to choose from within a short stroll of your hotel, including the famous Pan Chancho Bakery and CRAVE Coffee House.

After breakfast, head to the Caribbean-inspired Cher-Mere Spa for what is sure to be the highlight of your getaway. You and your partner will be pampered with the Couples Tranquility Package, which includes a one-hour Swedish massage with a sensory mixture of essential oils. As a special gift, you’ll take home a bottle of Cher-Mere body oil, which uses all-natural ingredients from the Caribbean.

Spend the rest of your day enjoying all that Kingston has to offer. Stroll along the beautiful waterfront where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River, head for a walk at the historic Sydenham Ward or go skating at Springer Market Square. The nearby Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area has beautiful forested trails for cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. If you’d rather spend some quality time indoors, Kingston has interesting museums and art galleries perfect for enjoying in the winter months.

Day 3:

Enjoy another delicious breakfast at a Kingston cafe before checking out of your hotel. If time allows, enjoy another relaxing waterfront stroll before heading to the train station. Don’t forget to pick up a few delicious souvenirs from this food city to enjoy on your relaxing train journey home.
