Heintzman Music Suite: A Symphony of History and Comfort. At the River Merchant Inn & Spa, this suite offers a musical journey through Stratford’s past. With 2 bedrooms, a chef's kitchen, and modern conveniences like free parking and pin-pad access, it’s your perfect base for exploring Stratford’s Avon River, downtown, and cultural scenes

At the River Merchant Inn & Spa, your 1000 sq ft beautifully decorated and fully furnished private retreat is on the bank of the picturesque Avon River. This full size 2 bedroom apartment is a historical experience describing, with archive pictures and rare music memorabilia, the original uses of this unique downtown building beginning in 1909 as the Heintzman Pipe & Piano Company. Upon 2018 restoration, this building was the winner of the 2018 James D Anderson Heritage Restoration Award. After a day of walking just steps from your door to any of the 3 Stratford Festival Theatres, and many riverside and downtown activities, relax in the elegant Modern Musical Glam decorating by the fireplace, listening to a selection vintage vinyl on the record player, unwind in the deep soaker bathtub, or re-energize at the attached Illume Spa. Your Suite is located in the heart of Stratford’s beautiful, historic, tourist downtown with shops, outdoor cafes, restaurants, and activities. Other jewels in the crown of this one-of-a-kind Heintzman Music Suite are the picturesque views of the river and downtown core as well as the abundant light from the soaring 8’ windows. In addition, the new state of the art Chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances, dinner service and cookware, essentials like spices, coffee and tea’s, and is ready for the fresh ingredients you can find at the weekend Farmer’s Market in the downtown square. Free in-suite laundry is provided for your convenience. It is the perfect getaway for families, friends, couples, or business.

    Beautifully decorated apartment with very comfortable beds, centrally located in Stratford within easy walking distance if all Stratford Festival theatres. It was a perfect place for my spouse, daughter and I to stay while we attended the Stratford Festival. Brendan is an excellent host, highly responsive to messages. The only caveat I would add is that for anyone with issues with stairs, the apartment is accessible only via a fairly long flight of relatively steep stairs. I’d certainly stay again.

    Amazing location - right in the centre of things, facing the Avon River, walkability 10/10. Space was super clean, spacious, bright, and nicely decorated. 3 different ways to make coffee Beds we're comfortable, rooms were quiet. The only hurdle we're the double set of steep stairs to get to the unit - You want to make sure you have everything before you set out for the day. Great comms from host. Parking was a block away but the lot across the street is inexpensive and convenient. We would stay again.

    I rented this suite for 3 friends who were going to be in Stratford to see two performances. I must have missed the part about the steps. The ladies are all older and doing 2 flight with luggage was daunting. When we finally go up to the suite, it was beautifully decorated and had everything they needed. The back bedroom has a king sized bed and the other bedroom a queen sized bed. With 3 single ladies it meant that one slept on the pull out sofa. The beds were very comfortable but the sofa was not. So if you need three separate sleeping spots this is an issue. The location is great for access to the town centre and close to the Avon Theatre and the Patterson theatre. Lots of restaurants and shopping close. Because of its location it has vehicle travel early in the morning.

    When you advertise your lovely condo, I do think you should mention that it has 37 steep stairs and no elevator. Both my friend and I are over 80 and in pretty good shape and it even wore us out getting our luggage up there. Your cleaning people showed up just as we were getting ready to leave and helped us carry our luggage downstairs. They were helpful and lovely ladies. I hope you mention this to them.
