A B.C. hotel that numerous publications have praised was recently added to a ‘gold list’ as one of the best hotels in the world.
Wickaninnish Inn, located in Tofino, B.C., recently got some praise from CN Traveler, which placed the B.C. spot on its gold list of the best hotels and resorts around the globe.
The unique appeal of a spot like Wickaninnish INN and Tofino, B.C., is that there are attractions all year round, not just one particular season.
“From November to March, ferocious storms roll through Vancouver Island’s rugged west coast, bringing with them gale-force winds that whip up the waters,” CN Traveler’s blog post states.
Pictures reveal why Wickaninnish Inn is so popular, with your bedroom potentially reading right out to supernatural B.C.

“The small town of Tofino used to hunker down during those blustery, rainy months, until the Wickaninnish Inn pioneered storm-watching season. Built on a rocky headland surrounded by old-growth rainforest at the north end of Chesterman Beach, the inn has a front-row seat to Mother Nature’s dramatic performances,” CN Traveler boasts.

You don’t have to worry about the storm impacting your peace and tranquillity in your hotel room, though. As CN Traveler highlights, all of the rooms have hurricane-proof windows. Speaking of windows, the inn’s restaurant, Pointe, is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows.
“The concierge team can arrange anything from bear-watching excursions to hikes in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. In winter, intrepid guests don wellies and raincoats and head to the beach to feel the spray of the tempestuous sea, then return to mugs of cocoa and the warmth of the inn’s roaring fire,” CN Traveler concludes.
However, staying somewhere like Wickaninnish Inn isn’t necessarily cheap. CN Traveler says rates start from US$540.
