The British Columbia & Yukon Hotels' Association
More famous Doors of Hospitality


Read about 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.
