General Information

Osler house offers guests a return to the world of bygone Victorian elegance. This impeccably -restored 1848 house, once the home of the world-famous physician Sir William Osler and his illustrious family, now welcomes guests as a luxurious B&B. The unique and historic home abounds with antiques and period reproductions, and is complimented with sumptuous and elegantly presented breakfasts. The spacious and private grounds, accented with an enormous and ancient heritage magnolia tree, belie the fact that guests are but minutes away from the charm of downtown Dundas and the bustle of downtown Hamilton. McMaster University and medical center, the Royal Botanical Gardens, dozens of waterfalls and wooded trails are also just moments away.
