The Duchess of Kent Inn is an 1875 designated restored heritage home with a unique three-storey turret corner, filled with antiques and Victorian charm. Sharyn, the same owner and innkeeper for more than 43 years, will help you plan your days on the Island.
The inn sits on Kent Street in the heart of downtown Charlottetown. Confederation Centre, Province House, Victoria Park, the waterfront boardwalk, the Confederation Trail, restaurants, museums and shopping are all a short walk away. Off-street parking and bicycle storage are included, so the car can stay put for your whole visit.
Private air-conditioned suites in the home's signature three-storey turret corner, with two or three bedrooms.
A large room with two beds, decorated with antiques in keeping with the rest of the home.
A separate guest kitchen with complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate, plus a common living room with cable TV.
Built in 1875 and expanded with its circular turret in 1915, the home is a designated heritage resource of the City of Charlottetown. It became the Duchess of Kent Inn in 1981, restored in the Victorian style and furnished with antiques throughout.
Read the house's story“With close to 50 nights spent at ‘The Duchess,’ I go back because the Inn itself is unique - a step back in time, but with all the amenities. Sharyn is helpful, generous and accommodating.”
“A perfect location for downtown restaurants, shops, waterfront and historical buildings all around. We left the car in the driveway and walked everywhere. Sharyn is a wonderful hostess, knowledgeable on local history and helpful in planning our walks. Next time we'll stay longer.”
“Sharyn was a fantastic host, extremely knowledgeable regarding the whole island. The rooms were lovely and quiet. Breakfast was well worth the additional charge.”
“For the breakfasts, Sharyn was able to accommodate for a Celiac diet and did so perfectly. We even received some tips and tricks to implement at home. Her love of PEI has infected us as well and we hope we will come back for another stay.”
“Duchess of Kent has a great owner, you are well looked after. Big and clean rooms. Nice breakfast with homemade muffin. Only a few steps from downtown.”
“The Inn is in a super location, within walking distance of most of Charlottetown's tourist attractions. I have since recommended Sharyn and her Duchess of Kent Inn to many others and would definitely stay there again.”
Open year round. Off-season and single rates available. November to April by advance reservation.
