Wickaninnish Inn Ranked #1 in Canada by Travel + Leisure
The Inn's Ancient Cedars Spa was also voted the #1 Best Hotel Spa in Canada and #3 Best Hotel Spa in the USA and Canada in the coveted 2011 Travel + Leisure Magazine's World's Best Awards.

Travel + Leisure Magazine, the leading publication for sophisticated, informed luxury travelers, has released the results of its yearly readers' poll. The 2011 World's Best Travel Awards ranks a range of travel experiences. The Wickaninnish Inn, situated beachside on Vancouver Island's rugged west coast, appears in the rankings for the 9th consecutive year, maintaining its place as Canada's top-ranked luxury resort and accommodation property.

Although Travel + Leisure highlights the Inn's year-round comfort with spectacular ocean views and in-room binoculars, an extensive early 2012 re-design of all 45 guest rooms in the original Pointe building will further emphasize the Inn's commitment to excellence, its connection with nature and the spa-like ambiance. "The Inn's appeal since its opening in 1996," according to Charles McDiarmid, Managing Director, "is due to the synergy between its unique oceanfront and forest-fringed location, the destination of Tofino, and a consistent level of personalized service from all team members. Our team is made up of many 10-years-and-counting senior staff working alongside, often mentoring, new hospitality professionals who have earned a place on the Wickaninnish Inn team."
