Our Favourite Places to stay in the Pacific Northwest

This travel page on the Pacific Northwest is simply a compilation of some of our favourite places to stay when we have the opportunity to take off for a few days. We appreciate that many of our guests are traveling in the region and are often looking for special places.

Gulf Islands    Vancouver Island    Vancouver Coast and Mountains    Washington State    Not so Pacific Northwest

The Gulf Islands

A beautiful group of islands between the Vancouver Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. They are regularly serviced by BC Ferries.

 
Woodstone Country Inn, Galiano Island Very charming rooms, also a great place for dinner on the island.
 
The Old Farmhouse, Saltspring Island An idyllic pastoral setting, with lovely decor. Generous breakfasts.

Vancouver Island

About the size of Holland, with only about 700,000 inhabitants, the city of Victoria is BC's capital. The Island is renowned for its beautiful gardens and its quaint and genteel atmosphere. Check out a wine tour of the Islands' vineyards.
   
Empress Hotel, Victoria The Grande Dame of Victoria's Inner Harbour. Beautifully restored landmark of Victoria. If you can't stay here, at least try to have the High Tea, or a drink in the Bengal Lounge.
   
Spinnakers Brewpub and Guesthouse, Victoria Just 2 minutes from downtown waterfront, thoughtfully decorated rooms, great breakfasts & excellent microbrewery. Stay in the Heritage Suites.
   
Beaconsfield, Victoria Close to Beacon Hill Park and downtown, this B&B even got reviewed by the select Harper's Hideaway Report. The classic Victoria architecture was designed by Samuel McClure.
   
Sooke Harbour House, Sooke This inn, is world renowned for it's setting, incredible rooms and for the fine dining which focuses on their innovative West Coast cuisine.
   
The Aerie, The Malahat Definitely a spot for a special event or a well deserved indulgence. Astounding mountain views, and one of the best wine lists on the Island make this inn and it's dining room, unique.
   
Tigh Na Mara, Parksville So relaxing - great accommodations, something to suit everyone. Very value oriented packages.
   
Ships Point Inn, Fanny Bay Beautifully decorated in a beautiful setting. This small inn  is very attentive to guests, with lots of amenities. If you like oysters this is the area to visit!
   
Kingfisher Inn & Spa, Courtenay The waterfront suites are the best. The Spa is our idea of what a Spa should be. A great place to visit off season, when you can have the hot tub virtually to yourselves.
   
Middle Beach Lodge, Tofino A unique West Coast Island experience. Sophisticated with a rustic style, this is our absolute favourite place to stay on the Island. Has everything you need: a magnificent waterfront setting, fantastic food, and simple yet very luxurious decor. The Headlands lounge can not be beat, with it's amazing view and huge stone fireplace.

Vancouver Coast and Mountains

This area refers to the Greater Vancouver Region, the Whistler corridor and the Sunshine Coast. There is truly something for everyone. You could spend the morning sipping a coffee at one of Downtown Vancouver's outside cafes, and within a couple of hours, you could be hitting the slopes at a world class ski resort, or getting ready to launch a kayak for an excursion.
       
Wedgewood Hotel, Vancouver 5th in the World by "Travel & Leisure" - with good reason! The best and most luxurious boutique hotel in the city. If you can't stay the night, at least check out the lounge which serves high tea and small meals. Really lovely.
       
O Canada House, Vancouver Terrific location, just a block off Robson St. in a renovated heritage house. Lots of thoughtful touches that make your stay memorable.
       
Bonniebrook Lodge, Gibsons A Charming waterfront inn, with one of the best restaurants on the lower sunshine coast.
       
Desolation Sound Resort, Lund A very peaceful, remote retreat with architecturally eclectic cabins. Great place to set off on your kayak trip!
       
Chateau Whistler, Whistler     Slightly removed from the village, this is the ultimate resort hotel, fabulous rooms, great dining. The spa, the hot tubs and indoor/outdoor pool will definitely melt away all of your stress!

Washington State

We have taken many road trips through Washington as its proximity makes it so accessible. Seattle is a vibrant city with many excellent restaurants, and Pike Place market is a 'must do'.
       
Salisbury House, Seattle A beautiful little B&B on capital hill near the University District. A great walking area with lots of restaurants, this B&B has a lovely lounge to relax in after a day of sightseeing, eating and shopping.
       
Hotel Vintage Park, Seattle A beautiful boutique hotel with a very cool bar. The location is excellent, close to Pike Place market and lots of shopping. Love the Aveda amenities.
       
Heron Inn Bed & Breakfast, La Conner A charming spot with a lovely lounge and great breakfast.

Not so Pacific Northwest

Auberge Saint Antoine, Quebec A stunning 95 room boutique hotel in the heart of old Quebec City. Sophisticated, stylish and slick, this accommodation's design  pays homage to the hotel's archaeological  site.
