The Algonquin Resort in Saint Andrews is getting a makeover.

InnVest Hotels, the company that owns the historic resort, announced Thursday the beginning of a multimillion-dollar revitalization project.

“This revitalization is not just about refreshing a historic property,” InnVest president and CEO Lydia Chen said in a statement. “It’s about redefining the guest experience year-round.”

The project is expected to be completed in mid-2027, and will include renovations to all guest rooms, renewed public spaces, including the lobby and restaurants, and the debut of Usva by-the-Sea, a new Nordic thermal spa.

The redesign has been led by Canadian design agency mackaywong. Co-founder Gordon Mackay said in a statement he grew up dreaming of staying in a castle by the sea.

“It was incredibly important to us that we respect the cultural and natural history of the Algonquin Resort while crafting something that feels fresh, serene, and undeniably coastal,” he said.

New general manager Cole Sheridan said it’s an honour to lead the resort into a new chapter while preserving the spirit that’s defined it for generations.

“This transformation is a celebration of place, history, and a coastal lifestyle that’s both timeless and refined.”
