This gorgeous hotel has a wonderful sense of place with most of the beautiful wood, stone and artwork on display being from the area. Even the wine cellar is built on some of the bedrock. Make sure to wander the hotel to find all the exhibits, some which date back to the original discovery of the area. Guest rooms are found in a beachfront building and the main building which is perched on the rocks overlooking the ocean. They are impressive and the same care for detail is found with natural wood furniture, beds with super soft bedding and wonderful limited edition artwork. There are many extras, ranging from locally made soaps, back packs, Hudsons Bay blankets and rain slickers to an honor bar, complimentary snacks and an evening glass of port. Almost all have a soaker tub and fireplace. When the tide is out, expect miles of sandy beach that's perfect for beachcombers. Be sure to ask for a room in the original section that overlooks the rocky shoreline; you'll get a real show when the waves come crashing in during one of Tofino's wild winter storms. The inn has a short closing each year in January.
