Property
A quaint and picturesque waterfront hotel on beautiful Shuswap Lake. Just steps from a nature preserve and boat rentals, the Prestige Harbourfont Resort is an ideal place to serve as home base as you explore Shuswap Lake and Mt Revelstoke, or a delightful little place to stop for the night in between Vancouver and Calgary.

Location
Lakeside in downtown Salmon Arm, adjacent to City Park and the Nature Reserve. Lake Shuswap is the houseboating capital of Canada. If you don’t have a week to spend on a houseboat, spending a few days at this resort and renting a boat to explore the lake should entertain the whole family. Salmon Arm is approximately halfway between Vancouver and Calgary.

Sleeps
2-4.

Highlights
All guest rooms have plasma tvs, pillow top mattresses, refrigerators, and free high-speed internet. Ask for a room with a view of the water and if you are lucky you will be able to watch the resident pair of osprey feed their little ones lunch. An indoor/outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, day spa, kids arcade, and lakefront patio are all on site.

Good to Know
On site dining is available at the Aquatico Bay Restaurant. Boat and watercraft rentals are available at the pier
behind the hotel. There are few pet friendly rooms so be sure to call and reserve yours ahead of time if you are traveling with your four-legged friends.

Property
Chic and comfortable suite-style rooms, many with fantastic views of downtown Vancouver. This hotel is family friendly from the “kid essentials” kit at check in to the socket protectors and night lights available in room.

Location
Conveniently located in Downtown Vancouver just a couple blocks from the water and steps from all the city has to offer.

Sleeps
2-5.

Highlights
I loved every minute of lying in my bed and gazing out the huge floor to ceiling windows. The service is incredibly friendly and attentive. Children are greeted with a little welcome package that is guaranteed
to put a smile on their faces. A 24 hour gym is on site and babysitting services are available with advanced notice if mom and dad want a night out on the town. On site dining and room service make life easy after a long day enjoying the sights. A mini-fridge in every room means you can keep drinks, snacks, and meds nice and cool.

Good to Know
Public transportation is super-convenient and a great alternative to trying to drive and park in a big city like Vancouver. The number 19 bus to Stanley Park, a must see, is only 2 blocks from the hotel. Playpens, cribs, highchairs, and booster seats available upon request.
