Leland Hotel

If quaint Victorian-era hotels peak your interest, one of the finest examples for British Columbia is located here – the Leland Hotel. It is the oldest continuously operating hotel in BC. Built in 1892. In 1897, a 3-storey addition was built onto it.

All rooms have air-conditioning, WiFi, cable TB, fridge, microwave and complimentary coffee.

The on-site restaurant and pub offers a fine cuisine of burgers, sandwiches and home style meals.

The village of Nakusp is set on the shores of the Upper Arrow Lake alongside the Monashee Mountains.

In summer, travellers are drawn to the fine 9 hole Centennial Golf Club and the great fishing in the many streams and lakes in the area. Take a relaxing walk along the waterfront pathway to a lovely Japanese Garden.

The Nakusp and Halcyon Hot Springs invite visitors to relax in their soothing waters. Pools are naturally heated and range in temperature from 38C (100F) to 41C (106F). Each property offers a range of overnighting options. Halfway River Hot Springs are located in a wilderness setting, accessed via a gravel road and hike. This area is an ideal mountain getaway.

Heli-skiing based out of Nakusp features some of the finest snow and ski terrain in British Columbia. The cross-country ski trails in the winter and backcountry hiking in the summer provide pleasant pastimes.

The Village of Nakusp’s settlement history began in 1892. It began as a port for conveyance of the Slocan ore. There were no roads, only railways from the Kootenay mining areas where goods had to be shipped by water transport from Nakusp to Revelstoke and Castlegar. Nakusp became a thriving community on this shipping route. Forestry overtook mining as the economic base and the village was incorporated in 1964.
