The Walper Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt  

In the heart of downtown Kitchener, housed in a restored 1893 landmark on King and Queen streets. Steps from Victoria Park and the indie shops, cafés and galleries of the Kitchener–Waterloo corridor. A boutique hotel that’s pet-friendly and perfectly placed for the Waterloo–Toronto tech corridor.

Historic bones meet contemporary flair across three floors of boutique rooms. Spot period features, a storied Crystal Ballroom and an interior terrace — the very breakfast spot once favoured by Eleanor Roosevelt. Rooms include a TV and bathrobe, and an elevator serves all guest floors.

On-site spa center, fitness center/gym, bar and restaurant. Free Wi‑Fi, parking, a BBQ area, concierge services, dry cleaning and a safe-deposit box. There’s even access to a doctor if needed. Wake up to the buzz of King Street or step out for a stroll in nearby Victoria Park.

Newly renovated 2nd-floor event space with modern audiovisual capabilities for meetings, weddings and special events. Boutique-hotel service with on-site guest rooms for overnight stays.

An on-site restaurant and lively bar serve local cuisine and regional flavours. Breakfasts on the interior terrace add a historic touch to your meal.
