5 Best, Genuine Boutique Hotels in British Columbia in 2026

Sooke Harbour House is a modernized build with a timeless feel, a bit like a seaside cabin with a couple extra limbs. It is also one of our favourite sizes for a hotel. There’s enough space that you can exist fairly independently, but you’ll rarely be competing with other guests for the staff’s attention. The sea views are impeccable, the exterior crisp and white, surrounded by salt air, stones, and some wilderness-esque landscaping that adds a homey feel to the property. Having been in business since the 1920s, there’s a… > Read Our Full Review

Yet, it is somehow quietly stylish, windows are large and a bit of natural light goes a long way to a pleasant atmosphere. Once we get our focus off the decor anyway, both the amenities and the exceptional service make it obvious why this hotel made our list. Guests rave… > Read Our Full Review

First opening in 1927, Rosewood Hotel Georgia provides some old-time glamour to central Vancouver’s generally modern hotel scene. Not that it’s really a throwback to a former age, it has been much modernized, but with a clear respect for its roots.
