Dear editor:

All the good citizens of our town will want to wish the good ship The Scotsman a long and prosperous voyage.

The trip is an ambitious one, if only for the eye-watering room rate: at least $1,500 per night, which makes it the most expensive hotel in Canada.

With the opening of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s newest hotel, we can now claim that particular crown, leaving Ritz, Four Seasons and Fairmont in the dust.

For a property not offering full food and beverage service and in the middle of NOTL low season this is a brave approach to positioning your product.

Let’s hope that the owners have gotten their market studies right.
