Magical Getaway
Best Hotels Across Canada

If you are looking to get away for the holidays this year without going abroad, Canada boasts many hotels where you can enjoy a relaxing vacation away from it all.

Canada is home to many beautiful and unique hotels that are particularly magical to visit over the holidays. Spend the season in the lap of luxury this year and treat yourself, your family, or a loved one. Here’s a look at six hotels across the country offering a quality stay.

Fairmont Chateau Laurier | Ottawa, Ontario

Located in the heart of Ottawa, the Fairmont Chateau Laurier is like a castle out of a fairytale. The property opened in 1912 and is today one of the most recognizable landmarks in Canada. The grand limestone building is topped with elegant spires and looks out over the Rideau Canal. Guests can dine in Wilfrid’s restaurant, savour cocktails in the lounge, and take in the sights at nearby Parliament Hill.

Hôtel de Glace | Quebec City, Quebec

Hôtel de Glace is a gorgeous and distinctive seasonal property constructed of ice and snow located in Valcartier Vacation Village outside of Quebec City. Sleep on a bed of ice (tucked in a cozy sleeping bag) and take advantage of the on-site hot tubs, saunas, and a Nordic spa to warm up and unwind. Choose from a selection of themed rooms and suites for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise | Lake Louise, Alberta

The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is a picture-perfect property worthy of putting a postcard — in fact, it often is. The spectacular chateau-style hotel in Banff National Park is overshadowed in beauty only by the turquoise waters of Lake Louise that sprawls out before it. Guests can skate on the frozen surface of the lake or spend their time at the nearby Lake Louise Ski Resort.

The Wickaninnish Inn | Tofino, British Columbia

When it comes to location, no hotel compares to the Wickaninnish Inn perched on the ocean cliffs of Vancouver Island. Listen to the sound of the lapping waves from the balcony in your polished room or from the beachside cafe. Though nestled and secluded in the trees, the hotel is also just a quick drive to Tofino and only 19 km to Wickaninnish Beach.

The Josie Hotel | Rossland, British Columbia

If your dream vacation involves skiing through fresh powder, then the Josie Hotel in the interior Rossland region of British Columbia is a property you have to stay at least once. This hotel offers ski-in/ski-out access to RED Mountain Resort, which receives 750 cm of annual snowfall on average. After a day packed with skiing, snowshoeing, or fat biking, you can rest your muscles in the mountain-view sauna.

Northern Lights Resort & Spa | Whitehorse, Yukon

The Northern Lights Resort & Spa is a tranquil, year-round destination just 20 minutes outside of Whitehorse, the largest city in Northern Canada. Guests can spend their days exploring the surrounding wilderness and their evenings relaxing in the property’s Finnish sauna or with a rejuvenating massage. In the winter, guests also have a great chance of spotting the spectacular Northern Lights (also known as the Aurora Borealis).

There’s no need to fly away for the winter and miss the beautiful holiday season at home. From coast to coast, Canada offers amazing properties in spectacular surroundings where you can feel refreshed.
