About British Columbia

British Columbia genuinely has it all. In Vancouver City, you can be enjoying a lunch of the finest Chinese food, followed by an afternoon of powder skiing at Whistler in the nearby Blackcomb Mountains. The mountain forests provide superb trekking in the summer, and the rivers and lakes are an irresistible draw for fly fishers seeking the famous Bull Trout in the crystal clear snow meltwaters. The locals are warm, friendly and immensely proud of their beautiful and unique State. Our pick of the best places to stay in British Columbia range for chic city pads to remote wilderness lodges — there is something for everyone, whatever your reason to visit!

The earliest European exploration of the area was by Captain George Vancouver in June 1792, but settlement by Europeans via sea and the Canadian Transcontinental Railway was more than a hundred years later - well after the Hudson’s Bay Company had declared and named the State, British Columbia in 1854. Settlers then followed from India and China, establishing the city of Vancouver and the capital city of Victoria as the richly diverse and truly multicultural centres of Canada’s Pacific coastline.

Beyond its proud history, British Columbia attracts visitors seeking anything from chic city breaks to those looking for peace and splendour of the wilderness and backcountry which cater for all the possible outdoor pursuits and wildlife experiences you can imagine. Tofino (on Vancouver Island) is ideal whale-watching, surfing or simply sitting back, relaxing and taking in the ocean views!

If you are making your trip in the Autumn months, the best places to stay in British Columbia will truly treat you to the fabulous colours of the Canadian Fall. The winter months herald the superb powder skiing of the famous mountain resorts of BC (Fernie is one of our favourites), then spring and summer months transform British Columbia into the stunning green landscapes for trout fishers, trekkers and kayakers.

What Not To Miss

  • If you're in Vancouver itself then be sure to visit Chinatown and Gastown, the city’s birthplace. There are a number of heritage-listed buildings converted into wonderful independent boutiques, restaurants and bars.
  • Head to the beautiful Stanley Park and bask in British Columbia's astounding natural beauty.
  • The enchanting Butchart Gardens are also well worth a visit.
  • Go for a drive along the rugged Wild Pacific Trail and marvel at the wonderful views - be sure to remember your camera!

The Best Places to Stay in British Columbia

For Wilderness Seekers

  • The Clayoquot Wilderness Resort is renowned for their thermal pools and, so remote, is reachable only by seaplane!
  • An unforgettable hideaway in true wilderness, the Ten-ee-ah Lodge is deep in Cariboo country with wonderful kayaking and trekking alongside.
  • Villa Eyrie belies its quiet location atop the summit Malahat to offer supremely-luxurious accommodation with extensive spa facilities, fine dining, and activities for the whole family to enjoy.

For Trout Fishers

Two Lodges, in particular, are truly wonderful for their spectacular trout fishing.

  • The Lizard Creek Lodge provides fly fishing to die for on the crystal clear waters of the Elk River.
  • At the Nita Lake Lodge in Whistler, there is both lake and river fly fishing for the famous Bull Trout.

For Kayak Adventurers

  • When you prefer to see the spectacular British Columbian landscape from the perspective of the water, then kayaking is perhaps the perfect pastime. It is very popular with the Canadians and at the Wickaminnish Inn at Tofino, Kayaking is their speciality.
  • The Emerald Lake Lodge tailors your kayaking experience to your exact requirements and will provide a great day out on the Lake for all ages.
  • Cathedral Mountain Lodge is a luxurious lakeside getaway. Their rustic-chic lodges are smart and cosy, with wooden beds and roaring fireplaces, whilst you can canoe on the lake.

For Wildlife and Forest Adventures

  • The wildlife in British Columbia is amazing and certain Lodges are particularly set up to arrange for guided tours, or for private treks along well-mapped trails. At the Tweedsmuir Park Lodge, they are professionals at providing unforgettable wildlife experiences, and this may include sightings of bears!

For Skiing and Winter Sports

You'll find superb hotels and ski lodges in British Columbia, each with their own special charm and attraction. Our pick of the best places to stay in British Columbia for winter sports are scattered throughout a number of different resorts in the Rocky Mountains.

  • The Crystal Lodge in Whistler is perfect for the ultimate ski adventurer. It won't break the bank either!
  • The Best Western Mountain Lodge in Fernie is well situated for every level of skiing. You'll be welcomed by an open fire and all the creature comforts to compensate for a hard day on the slopes!
  • Earl Grey B&B in the Panorama Mountain Village is a beautiful Lodge, close to the resort and has a feel of exclusivity that is bound to make you feel special!
  • Or what about the Island Lake Lodge? It's perfect not only for winter Skiing but summer trips too, when the lake comes into its own for boating and fishing expeditions.

For City Chic, Asian Dining and Luxury in Vancouver

  • The Listel Hotel just about has it all and is less than a minute from the Barclay Heritage Square.
  • Close to Chinatown, the largest Chinatown in the world, you'll find the Sylvia Hotel which overlooks the Pacific Ocean, and which surely transports guests into an intoxicating and unforgettable experience of where West meets East.
  • Book the Shangri La Vancouver for serious luxury and further flavours of the Pacific Orient.
  • Undiluted luxury in its purest form is provided at the Wedgewood Hotel and Spa and the situation is perfect for downtown Vancouver.
  • If you hanker for a dip in heated outdoor salted water, then L'Hermitage Hotel is perhaps the perfect City hotel for you.
  • To go for something with more of a view, the Rosewood Hotel Georgia has rooftop plunge pools, and when all lit up at night they provide the perfect romantic backdrop.

For Vancouver Island

  • For a visit to Victoria on Vancouver Island, we recommend the Magnolia Hotel and Spa. Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and full of charm and history. The hotel arranges guided tours of the City with local historians.
  • Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa offers smart, recently-refurbished rooms and delicious locally-sourced seafood dishes. Unwind in the Pacific Mist Spa.
  • Black Rock Oceanfront Resort is a super-chic spa resort that's bound to impress. The design is sleek and crisp, whilst you're also located right by the coast.
