Hotels in Queen Charlotte City, BC

Once known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, this archipelago of 150 to 200 islands off the northwest corner of British Columbia, has reverted to the name given it by the First Nations people: Haida Gwaii. The designation of Queen Charlotte City, the region's largest municipality, has also officially changed to the Village of Queen Charlotte. Located at the southern tip of Graham Island, it is accessible by ferry, rail, air and bus. A community of artists, fishermen and loggers, Queen Charlotte offers views of the sea, forest, mountains and many species of wildlife.
  1. Dorothy & Mike's Guest House

    • Accommodations at this bed and breakfast include rooms, suites and detached cottages. Among the amenities are an infrared sauna; water views from many rooms; a library stocked with books on history, culture, art, flora and fauna of the island group; and bicycle rentals. Guests can request a breakfast catered by a neighbor. Birdwatching, especially of eagles, is a popular activity. Situated close to beaches, shops and restaurants, the guest house is decorated with the work of local artists.

    Sea Raven Inn

    • The largest hotel in Haida Gwaii, the Sea Raven has 39 rooms, a gift shop and an oceanfront restaurant. Many of the rooms overlook the Skidegate Inlet where ferries connect Graham Island with other islands in the archipelago. Glimpses of black bears in the forest and gray whales in the water are possible from here. The inn is within walking distance of the village's historic buildings, dating from the early 1900s. Guests may also take a kayaking tour around the island group or relax in the hot springs on a nearby island.

    Copper Beech Guest House

    • Although not in Queen Charlotte proper, this bed and breakfast on the other side of Graham Island, has an interesting history. Built by a Swedish carpenter in 1914, the house has been moved twice by water on logs lashed together. It reached the present location in 1932 and has remained there since. The owner at that time had a new bride from England, who decorated the place with furniture brought from her homeland. In addition, she planted an English garden, spectacular in the spring, and the namesake copper beech tree which now dwarfs the house. Besides the rooms for guests, the house features a dining room where breakfast is served, a living room with a picture window for watching the harbor and a large deck outside.

    Premier Creek Lodging

    • Built on Premier Creek, this is the oldest hotel on the island. Centrally located in the village, it boasts 12 rooms of varying sizes on three levels, all with an ocean view. Additionally, the facility has an economical hostel for backpackers, separate from the main building, containing eight beds, showers, a cooking area and a laundry room. North Pacific Seaplanes and Inland Air Charters, which both offer charter services to several of the other islands, are headquartered across the street from the hotel.
