Relais & Châteaux
Established in 1954, Relais & Châteaux is an association of 580 luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants. Renowned for forging lasting relationships with their guests, member properties are independently owned and operated by entrepreneurs, most often families, who are deeply passionate about their craft. The Wickaninnish Inn proudly joined the Relais & Châteaux family in 1997.
A Deep Sense of Place
With member properties spanning five continents - from the picturesque vineyards of Napa Valley and the sun-soaked beaches of the Indian Ocean, Relais & Châteaux invites travellers around the globe to savour delicious journeys, discover the inimitable art de vivre engrained in each local culture and share an incomparable, unforgettable experience.
Relais & Châteaux members protect and promote the wealth and diversity of the world’s culinary and hospitality traditions to ensure they continue to thrive. They are equally dedicated to preserving local heritage and the environment, as articulated in the association’s Vision presented to UNESCO in November 2014. We're proud to have been invited to join this prestigious association, just two years after opening our doors.
La Route du Bonheur
Relais & Châteaux’s La Route du Bonheur—"the road of happiness"—originally described the journey between various manors, villas, and châteaux in France for a curated experience. The tradition of la Route du Bonheur lives on in Western Canada, miles from its French roots. Experience the rich character, charm and culinary excellence of our partners as you navigate between each distinctive property and its own enchanting setting.
Our fellow Relais & Châteaux member properties look forward to welcoming you!
