Destination
Canada
Luxury hotel reviews, travel guides, and stories.
Canada offers such a stunning duality of rugged wilderness and polished sophistication that we fell in love with it instantly. On the West Coast, we were captivated by how the mountains and Pacific Ocean frame Vancouver—a place where you can experience "laid-back luxury" at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel one moment and find yourself soaring through the treetops at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park the next. It’s a destination that feels both grand and intimate, perfectly capturing that sense of coastal magic.
The culinary scene is just as impressive, especially when local flavors are elevated to an art form, like the innovative fusion at Ancora or the refined German cuisine at Bauhaus Restaurant. And while we often think of the mountains as only a winter playground, our time in Whistler proved it’s a haven for "luxury in all seasons." Whether we were exploring the vibrant city center or relaxing at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, Canada consistently delivered that perfect balance of adventure and ease.
