In Western Canada, the tradition of laRoute du Bonheur– or the road to happiness – lives on, miles from its French roots of vacationing between manors, villas, and châteaux, but always in the traveling spirit of Relais & Châteaux. Experience the rich character, charm, and culinary excellence of our partners as you navigate between each distinctive property and its own enchanting setting.

Start your journey on the remote, rugged west coast of Vancouver Island at eclectic Tofino, where the Wickaninnish Inn's hand-carved cedar structures stands elegantly above the dramatic surf of the Pacific Ocean.

A seaplane flight or leisurely ferry across the Georgia Straight will lead you to Vancouver's cosmopolitan city centre, where the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, your home away from home, is perfectly located among the gardens and waterfalls of fashionable Robson Square. Dine minutes away at Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux Daniel Boulud's Lumiere Restaurant & DB Bistro, showcasing a synergy of European sophistication, modern French cuisine and local ingredients and creativity.

A skip, hop and jump whisks you to the waters of BC's Inside Passage and Sonora Resort's unique, private lodges set in a live diaporama of nature's wonders.

Venture just past the border of the province of Alberta, and amidst the snow-capped peaks of Banff National Park, you will find the Post Hotel. Perched at 1500 metres in the breath-taking Canadian Rockies, this cherished Alpine chalet is renowned for its fine dining and an award winning wine cellar of over 30,500 bottles.

Relais & Châteaux offers you the opportunity to explore our Western Canadian Route du Bonheur whether at one, two or all of our member properties: west to east or east to west - the choice is yours in discovering these special places and the unique experiences they offer, because any direction on this journey leads you to the road to happiness.
