The Postmark Hotel: Why go?
Newmarket’s first boutique hotel occupies the city’s original post office building (hence the name) on Main Street, offering quick and easy access to downtown’s quaint shops, cafés and restaurants. The team behind Toronto’s Broadview Hotel has transformed this century-old heritage building into a vibrant spot for visitors and locals alike, whether you’re stopping in for after-work cocktails or planning a cozy weekend stay.
Expect the same magic as the Broadview Hotel: high ceilings, exposed brick walls and sunny terraces, all paired with thoughtful modern touches that make the space feel warm and welcoming.
The Postmark Hotel: The rooms
The 55 rooms are spread over three floors, with architectural features like soaring ceilings and large windows overlooking downtown. Many offer kitchenettes, and all come with a mini bar stocked with local drinks and snacks, including Propeller Coffee and Pluck Teas, while the bathrooms feature rainfall showers and Consonant organic skin toiletries.
French luxury bedding, smart TVs, blackout blinds and speedy WiFi make it dangerously easy to stay in bed all morning (or all day). Every detail feels thoughtful and distinctly local, which makes it feel less like a hotel and more like a special retreat.
The Postmark Hotel: Where to eat?
The Postmark offers two great options for food: the refined rooftop restaurant Overlea and the more casual Lobby on the ground floor. Opt for the former for a romantic dinner with some of the best bread rolls we’ve ever had and a nice menu of fresh seasonal Canadian classics.
Head to Lobby for cocktails and snacks on the patio overlooking Main Street. For something entirely different, take a short stroll down the street to Wayside Comics and Cocktails. The name is self-explanatory, but the collector pieces are just as impressive as the cocktails that owner Omar Saer slings from behind the register.
