Travelers' Choice
Immerse yourself in the historic charm of The Walper Hotel, an iconic 1893 landmark set along the quaint streets of one of Kitchener, Ontario's oldest neighbourhoods. You'll be captivated by this building's amazing past, and charmed by its contemporary flare. From Eleanor Roosevelt's preferred breakfast location on the interior terrace to Lennox Lewis' boxing match in the Crystal Ballroom, to the tales of Al Capone's liquor smuggling operation in the cavernous basement restaurant, every nook and cranny in this Waterloo hotel has a story to tell.

I stayed one night at the Walper and it exceeded my expectations with respect to the main lobby and room. We stayed in a pocket room with two queen beds. It was modern and comfortable with attractive furnishings and a nice bathroom. The only issue I have with the hotel is the surrounding neighborhood- not something easily changed.

Great pandemic accommodations as well as great room. Need to ask for a blanket, but easily fixed with lowering the temp in the room. Food was wonderful with good space between customers (pandemic).... It was like a mini holiday for us! They also had bikes that might have been fun to take out.

Our one night stay-cation was a great success. We received a warm welcome when entering the beautiful hotel lobby and our room’s decor was simple and elegant. A king size bed, comfy pillows and linens led to a great nights sleep. Our room was super quiet. We were even lucky enough to have a cocktail or two delivered to our room by the TWH Social. All in all it was a fantastic night away. We will be back!

This is a beautiful venue with really wonderful staff! We unfortunately, had to postpone our event due to COVID-19 but the Walper Hotel has been incredibly accomodating and responsive. The professionalism is actually exceptional and I have had zero anxiety throughout my time working with them. The communication has been timely and clear during the process and they have really made an effort to create the vision that you have in mind. Andrea is a dream to work with! Very professional and personable.
