This magnificent Victorian mansion was constructed in 1878, for Charles S. Hyman, a well-known London businessman, sportsman and politician. During the past century, Idlewyld has been a focal point for London's rich history and is considered an old Ontario landmark.

This beautifully maintained property is a picture of nineteenth-century charm and elegance. Ornate wood mouldings, intricately-carved fireplaces and a massive central staircase have been meticulously restored.

Old world charm and exceptional personal service makes the inn an oasis of luxury in the heart of downtown London, Ontario. The Idlewyld Inn is an ideal setting for business meetings, social functions and weddings. Our private meeting facilities can accommodate up to 100 people.
