The Best Hotels to Book in Revelstoke, Canada, for Every Traveler
Revelstoke, in southeast British Colombia, is a ski and snowboard paradise with mountain chalets, châteaux, motels and resorts. A flurry of Norwegian settlers introduced the craze of ski jumping to Revelstoke in the late 19th century, which put it firmly on the winter sports map – a place it still holds. However, if you don’t get a rush from that, there are many non-ski activities, too, such as dog-sledding, natural hot springs and a fairytale enchanted forest for kids. Whatever your reason for visiting, you’ll need a place to stay. Here’s our pick of the best hotels in Revelstoke – bookable with Culture Trip.
