The Rodd Charlottetown is a historic hotel built in 1931 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
History[]
After Charlottetown's main hotel, the Victoria Hotel, was destroyed by fire in 1929, the business leaders of the town appealed to the Canadian National Railway to construct a replacement. The Charlottetown Hotel was constructed by the CNR (through their lodging division, Canadian National Hotels) and opened on April 14, 1931.
Its most notable guests were Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who stayed at the hotel during Prince Edward Island's centennial Confederation celebrations in July 1973.
Canadian National Hotels sold the property to David Rodd's in 1982.[4] He operated it for many years as The Charlottetown, A Rodd Classic Hotel. Rodd funded a renovation and restoration project in 1999. The hotel was eventually renamed Rodd Charlottetown.
