Just an hour north of Toronto, Barrie is a city built for lakeside living on the shores of Kempenfelt Bay. The main draw is its easy access to Simcoe County’s four-season playground. In winter, families head to Mount St. Louis Moonstone for skiing, while summer sees the waterfront come alive with the Barrie Dragon Boat Festival and crowds strolling the Spirit Catcher sculpture at the marina. The downtown core, with its craft breweries and the historic Five Points Theatre, offers a relaxed urban counterpoint to the extensive trails in nearby Springwater Provincial Park.
This is primarily a destination for weekend getaways and family vacations, though its conference centre attracts some business travel. Staying near the waterfront puts you steps from Centennial Beach and the dining on Dunlop Street, while areas along Bayfield Street offer convenient highway access. The city is easily reached via Highway 400, and the Barrie South GO Station provides direct rail service to downtown Toronto.
On HOTEVI, you’ll find 19 hotels in Barrie, ranging from familiar highway-side chains offering reliable value for families to a selection of well-reviewed waterfront hotels with balconies overlooking the bay. The mix leans toward practical, comfortable lodgings perfect for a basecamp after a day on the lake or the slopes.
