We recommend the Fairmont Vancouver Airport, especially if you arrive later in the day and just want one night, it is a fantastic hotel located within the airport terminal - very very easy after a long flight.

If you are looking for more than one night in Vancouver, we would recommend the following hotels -
Fairmont Vancouver:
Fairmont Waterfront:
Camarna Plaza:
Pacific Pallisades:

Vancouver Island
Visit the world famous Butchart Gardens in Victoria or head to one of the may luxuirous Spa Hotels located on Vancouver Island, great after a ski holiday!
We recommend the following hotels / resorts -

Island Lake Catskiing is very close to Fernie and flights link it to the USA as well !
