Hotels & Motels in Kimberley
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Kimberley, British Columbia.
Boasting a small-town friendliness and charm often missing in many of North America’s larger resort towns, Kimberley is a hidden gem with outdoor adventures, cultural pursuits and shopping on offer throughout the year.
Known as the ”Bavarian City of the Rockies” for its architecture that adopts the olde-worlde style of traditional German villages in Bavaria, Kimberley is situated in British Columbia's Purcell Mountains and offers breathtaking vistas of the Rockies and the Kootenay River Valley.
It's remote and scenic locale has resulted in the town being a favourite spot for outdoor adventure seekers. Skiers and snowboarders can get their adrenaline fix at Kimberley Alpine Resort while hiking enthusiasts will love exploring the trails of the river valley and the massive Kimberley Nature Park, which at 800 ha (1,977 acres) is the largest urban park in BC. Golfers can hit the links at several area golf courses including three executive courses—the St. Eugene Golf Course, Trickle Creek Kimberly Golf Club and Bootleg Gap Golf Course—while those looking for a different kind of excitement can shop and eat to their hearts’ content in the Platzl.
These are but a few of the pursuits available to those venturing to Kimberley and holidaymakers will find a similar plethora of choices when deciding where to stay. From upscale, luxurious resort suites to basic rooms, the town features hotel and motel options to suit all budgets and comfort levels.
LAP OF LUXURY
Luxury accommodation in Kimberley ranges from beautifully-appointed resort suites to charming alpine condos offering an abundance of extras. Visitors looking for an all-in-one vacation experience will find just such the thing at their doorstep at the Mountain Spirit Resort and Spa. Located just seconds away from the quad lift at Kimberley Alpine Resort, this condo accommodation offers ski in/ski out privileges, but is still just a short jaunt into town or to several nearby golf courses. In-room amenities include large soaker tubs and fireplaces to get warm after a day on the slopes, while the resort also boasts an outdoor pool and hot tub. A restaurant and spa offering a range of pampering treatments are being added to the property.
The condos at the Lodges at Kimberley Ridge are also situated within walking distance of the chair lift and all other amenities at the base of the ski resort but have the added distinction of offering private hot tubs in every unit. The well-appointed two-bedroom units, some with lofts, all feature full kitchens, fireplaces and private BBQs.
The impressive 4.5-star St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino offers a championship golf course as well as excitement and nightlife at the on-site casino. The resort features several dining options ranging from the casual and fun Fred’s Saloon and the bistro-style 19th Hole Bar and Grill, to elegant fine dining at Purcell Grill. Those who can’t bear to leave the furriest family members behind will be pleased to know the resort is also pet-friendly. Standard, premier and deluxe rooms, as well as three suites are available, with deluxe rooms and suites boasting fireplaces and suites featuring Jacuzzi tubs.
MID-RANGE CREATURE COMFORTS
In Kimberley, it is also possible to enjoy comfortable stays at smaller properties without paying for some of the extras on offer at large resorts. The boutique Chateau Kimberley Hotel, located in the heart of town, is an adult-oriented, 20-room hotel that appeals to many for its personalized service and intimate environment. Rooms, which are decorated with a historical elegance, include soaker tubs and Egyptian cotton sheets, and complimentary continental breakfast is included.
Located a short walk from the ski lifts and close to numerous cross-country trails, the InnWest / Kirkwood Inn boasts a variety of amenities meant to make guest stays more pleasant. A seasonal swimming pool can be enjoyed during warmer months while a sauna and 15-person hot tub will help visitors relax year round. Standard rooms are available for those simply wanting basic hotel accommodation, while one and two-bedroom condos feature full kitchens, private balconies with BBQs and stunning views for those wanting self-catering facilities.
Chicamon Springs Lodge is a great base where visitors can rest and revive after a day of skiing, boarding, golfing and exploring. Each suite is like a home-away-from-home with a full kitchen, laundry facilities, fireplace and private deck complete with BBQ and hot tub. Units sleep four to 12 people so the Lodge is the perfect place to take the whole family or to head with a group of friends for a fun weekend away.
BUDGET BARGAINS
With a good range of budget accommodation options available, there’s no reason to break the bank during a stay in the Kootenays. While budget lodgings may not offer everything-under-the-sun amenities of more expensive properties, visitors can find comfortable rooms while saving their pennies for shopping, cultural activities and outdoor fun.
One bargain option is the relaxed and pleasant North Star Motel. Located only a few minutes from the heart of Kimberley, the ski hill and golf courses, the motel features picnic areas, a gas barbecue and a gazebo where visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. Guests can kick start a day of exploring with complimentary coffee before heading out to explore the hiking trails located behind the property. Rooms include refrigerators and air conditioning while some have kitchenettes. For a unique experience, there is also a teepee on site that sleeps up to four guests.
