tyle with substance. The Inn at Manitou provides business
meeting facilities and services designed for those with
discriminating tastes. The marriage between the unspoiled
landscape of central Ontario and the best traditions in European
hospitality has produced a sophisticated business retreat that
meets exacting standards for luxury and service. Business guests
benefit from a high staff-to-guest ratio (one to one), a wide
variety of recreational amenities, and an elegant
conference centre characterized by privacy, convenience and

From its genesis as a top-notch tennis teaching facility on the
rugged shoreline of ManitouWabing Lake, the Inn at Manitou
developed to include a fine French kitchen, an extensive spa,
and a golf academy-a small luxury resort of renown. Corporate
guests enjoy a harmonious business experience with the support
of a full-time conference coordinator, a designated conference
porter and a concierge. Inn at Manitou's size means that
