When it comes time to checking in, you'll want to check out these top-ranked Vancouver hotels just chosen as some of the Best City Hotels in Canada.
The 2022 rankings come from Travel + Leisure, which released its massive slate of the publication's annual World's Best awards this week.
British Columbia's major cities, Vancouver and Victoria, dominate the Best City Hotels in Canada category, claiming half the 10 spots on the list.
Vancouver's elegant Rosewood Hotel Georgia - a frequent award-winner - landed in second place. The downtown Vancouver property "earned raves for its numerous restaurants and bar (high praise in a city with such a robust food scene)," notes Travel + Leisure. Those restaurants include Hawksworth, Bel Cafe, 1927 Lobby Lounge, and the Reflections garden terrace, while the hotel's sumptuous below-ground bar (previously Prohibition) is soon to embark on its next chapter as The Herrick.
The other Vancouver hotels on the reader-generated rankings include the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver (6) and its sibling, the Fairmont Waterfront (9). A pair of Victoria hotels, the Fairmont Empress and the Magnolia Hotel & Spa, ranked third and fourth respectively.
While B.C. indeed dominates, the top spot went to the Auberge Saint-Antoine in Quebec City, with its "sweeping views of the St. Lawrence River and cozy touches like in-room fireplaces."
T+L has its readers submit feedback based on experiences at destinations around the world to generate the World's Best lists. Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value.
