Spa Hotels in Mississauga, ON

A true Ontario gem, Mississauga is smaller than its neighbor Toronto but doesn’t lack on experiences. Just east of Niagara Falls, it’s named after the Mississauga Indian tribe, which means people living at the beautiful river. Mississauga was founded in 1810, when a group of European settlers purchased land from the Mississauga Indians. When you book a room at spa hotels in Mississauga, you’ll enjoy quick access to downtown’s museums, boutique shopping, plentiful dining options and more.

Blending old world charm with modern nuances, Streetsville was the first incorporated neighborhood of Mississauga. After British colonists purchased the land, it grew overtime to include a railroad terminal, general store and more. Named for its founder Timothy Street, the settlement was founded in 1806, and the original streets were laid out on the banks of the Credit River. Streetsville has been a center of commerce since its inception, with many historical buildings remaining intact. This makes it a great place to visit if you're interested in seeing how early settlers lived and worked in Ontario.

From there, head over to the Bradley Museum, where a restored 1830’s farmhouse gives a glimpse into the lives of the Bradley family, early settlers to Mississauga. Inside, you can enjoy guided tours as you see how this family once lived.

Mississauga also has a revered arts scene. Located downtown, the Art Gallery of Mississauga offers diverse exhibitions that integrate historical and contemporary artworks by local, national and international artists. The gallery also runs educational programs throughout the year including arts-based workshops for youth, talks & panel discussions with artists and curators, community outreach events, professional development workshops for educators, school tours, seniors programming and more.

There’s more to Canadian fare than poutine. With Mississauga’s location on the Credit River, the city doubles as a fisherman’s paradise. You can enjoy some of the freshest catch from the many waterfront dining options on Lake Ontario. Whether you’re a fish lover or a fisherman at heart, be sure to check out Port Credit Harbor. An idyllic spot to watch the sunset, it’s also an excellent location to buy fresh fish, as many anglers will sell you their catch of the day right off their boats. This makes it easy to find some fresh seafood (or even sushi) during your visit!

In addition to its fantastic natural recreation, Mississauga is also home to many esteemed parks. At 110 acres, Jack Darling Park offers great opportunities for fishing, bird watching, baseball, and picnicking. A large sandy beach is popular in summer months when people come from all over southern Ontario to enjoy the sunsets on Lake Ontario. The Lighthouse at Jack Darling Park was built in 1855 of stone cut offsite by hand; it still shines its light every night at sunset. Discover all this and more when you book your stay at Mississauga spa resorts.
