Tammy & Chris
FOUNDERS
Contact Tammy & Chris at chris@thedorchestercollingwood.com
Meet Tammy and Chris Millsap, the owners of The Dorchester Hotel and the visionaries behind restoring our iconic Collingwood landmark. Born and raised in the Collingwood area, over the past twenty plus years Tammy and Chris have kept themselves busy with buying and selling real estate in the South Georgian Bay area, as well as establishing a variety of successful businesses. The Millsaps are not only passionate about Collingwood’s rich history, but they are determined (with their entrepreneurial spirit) to develop an outstanding boutique hotel experience, unlike any before. When the opportunity came to restore a heritage building right on the main street of downtown, they didn’t think twice - the location and the history was an opportunity they simply couldn’t pass up.
Our heritage building was originally purchased in April of 2021, and after giving much thought (and working very closely with their architect and design team) The Millsaps eventually decided to move forward with reconstructing the apartment building into a boutique hotel once again. Over the past two years, The Millsaps have worked tirelessly to bring their design dreams to life alongside their amazing Interior Designer, Amy Harris of AG Designs. They are so excited to share with the community and guests traveling from near and far the new and (very much improved) Dorchester Hotel!
