The best hotels in Canada: 2025 Readers' Choice Awards
A year-round destination with so much to offer. Summers are best for exploration and adventure: verdant forests littered with technicolour flowerbeds and wildlife are perfect for zip-lining and trekking through, while whale-spotting is a wholesome pastime, whether it's done from the comfort of a local boat or the thrill of a kayak. Come winter, the luxurious hotels make for cosy bases with roaring fires from which to explore towns as they're caked in white layers. Toronto and Montreal have the most entries with four out of the 10 places this year, but it's a hotel in Victoria, in British Columbia, which takes the top spot.
