some of the our favourite
 British
Columbia hotels in a new section we call
'Canada's
Castles'
many of which were built by the railroads in the
early 1900s. Other pages on this site will profile
specific hotels and resorts we have visited, past,
present and future.
Coming from
families with hospitality industry backgrounds, our
editors have a fondness for hotels and hoteliers.
We've worked closely with management representing
hotels, inns and resorts of all sizes, in North
America and worldwide. We also interact with
regional hotel associations and are pleased to tell
our readers of their objectives and activities. We
greatly appreciate our liaison with the BC &
Yukon Hotels' Association before and since the
launch of our publishing operations in 1995. The
following is the latest information from the
Association.
