Hotel Theatre

Ready for a Break From It All?

Welcome to Orillia,
the Sunshine City!

A show at an iconic theatre and an overnight stay at your choice of two gorgeous hotels - for an all-new EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT price.

Here's how it works: click on the show below to request the performance you'd like to see and your choice of hotel. You will be contacted to confirm the type of room you require — and your exclusive 15% discount on both theatre tickets and hotel stay will be provided.

Example**: The online cost of theatre tickets ($41.13) will be discounted to $35.00. At the time of this writing, a room with a Queen Bed at the Champlain would be $137, but the Sunshine Package 2025 rate based on double occupancy is only 116/night ($140.59 with tax). Add 2 theatre tickets at $70 and you're getting a hotel, breakfast and show for less than $106 each!

** Please note that hotel price is subject to change depending on availability and time of booking. This example may not reflect current pricing.

Our Sunshine Getaway is the perfect summer holiday. Stay at your choice of either the Best Western PLUS Mariposa Inn & Conference Centre (on Memorial Drive, a five-minute drive from downtown) or the Champlain Waterfront Hotel, at the foot of our main street and steps from the theatre.
