Canada’s Best Boutique Hotels




 

5. Loden Hotel
For many travelers, a clean, comfortable room is all that’s required for a relaxing stay. But for recent visitors to the Loden Hotel, it’s the spotless, contemporary-styled bathrooms, complete with thick towels and ample space, that truly hit the mark. However, that’s not to say the bathrooms overshadowed the room’s other amenities like the floor-to-ceiling windows, flat-screen TVs and plush bedding. Recent guests are also quick to praise the gracious hotel staff, who they describe as especially attentive. When guests aren’t relaxing in their rooms, they’re at the spa suite getting pampered with a massage or enjoying a meal at the on-site Tableau Bar Bistro. Visitors say the French-inspired plates and chic atmosphere can’t be missed, but many guests are also quick to recommend Coal Harbour’s eateries. If you want to explore more of the Vancouver food scene, you’ll find plenty of restaurants around Stanley Park, just a mile and a half northwest of the hotel.

 

6. Wedgewood Hotel & Spa
According to recent guests, the best part about staying in the downtown Wedgewood Hotel & Spa – which is just steps away from Robson Street’s high-end shops – is the impeccable service. Travelers describe the staff at this Relais & Châteaux property as especially attentive, gracious and personable. Visitors also gush over the well-appointed rooms, which are outfitted with complimentary Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso coffee machines and more. The spacious bathrooms, which boast marble accents, deep-soaking tubs and L’Occitane toiletries, also receive a nod of approval from guests. For a little extra pampering, head to the on-site spa or the award-winning Bacchus Restaurant & Lounge. Guests describe the restaurant’s ambiance as elegant and serene, and the food as delicious.
