National Geographic has named Klahoose Wilderness Resort among the seven best places to stay in Canada. The resort was chosen as the best for Indigenous culture.
“Where you lay your head during your Canadian vacation is about much more than the size of the bed or plumpness of the pillows,” outlined National Geographic ahead of its listing. “These seven lodgings, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, help visitors find authentic culture and inspiring adventures.”
National Geographic shared the following about Klahoose Wilderness Resort:
“The resort is owned entirely by the Klahoose First Nation, and money spent here supports preservation and protection of the land and its people. Wildlife experts lead guests on boat expeditions and trips out to viewing towers to safely watch whales or bears. And in the evening, First Nations ambassadors engage visitors in activities such as cedar weaving, sweetgrass braiding and smudging ceremonies, cultural traditions that predate Canada’s nationhood."
In a media release, Chris Tait, tourism manager for the resort, stated that being included as one of the best places to stay in Canada means a great deal.
“Since 2021, our Klahoose team continues to set the bar higher, sharing authentic Indigenous culture with wildlife viewing at the all-inclusive resort,” added Tait. “This recognition allows us to extend our invitation to travellers from around the world who seek purposeful authentic travel experiences.”
In addition to Klahoose Wilderness Resort, here are the other six on the list of best places to stay in Canada:
Fogo Island Inn, Newfoundland; Wander the Resort, Ontario; Chelsea Hotel, Toronto; Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, Montreal; Glacier View Lodge, Alberta; and Muir Hotel, Halifax.
Klahoose First Nation territories span from Cortes Island, opposite Quadra Island near Campbell River to Toba Inlet in proximity to ʔop qaymɩxʷ (Homalco) ,kwɑːkjʊtəl (Kwakiutl), and ɬəʔamɛn qaymɩxʷ (Tla’amin) nations.
