Fitzroy Hall, a stately Victorian house, was built in 1872 by Thomas Essery Esq. for Alexander Brown Esq, a banker. For a time, one of the rooms on the main floor was used as a Bank. Alexander Brown's wife was Georgina Coles, a daughter of the Hon. George Coles. Hon. George Coles was a Father of Confederation, and Premier of the Island when both Responsible Government and the Free School Act came into being. He lived at Fitzroy Hall from time to time and spent the last of his years with his daughter and family.

The property was sold to Samuel A. MacDonald, a merchant, in 1911. Happily, the MacDonald family maintained the house until April 1993, when the Doucette family became proud owners, carefully preserving the beauty of the past.

We are thrilled to have been awarded with a Heritage Award from Museum & Heritage Prince Edward Island, “in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the preservation of the Heritage of Prince Edward Island,” and the City of Charlottetown “Heritage Preservation Award.”

Fitzroy Hall offers spacious rooms, many with fireplaces, and provides modern comfort while cherishing the past. There are eight air-conditioned bedrooms, each with full private bath (four with Jacuzzi), wood floors, and period furnishings. Guests are welcome to relax in one of our sitting rooms or outside in our garden.A kitchenette with microwave and bar-fridge is provided for your convenience.
