Black Rock Oceanfront Resort

Floor-to-ceiling glass on a black rock promontory above the Pacific, because the rainforest-lodge aesthetic has been done. This contemporary oceanfront resort selected by the Michelin Guide sits outside Ucluelet on Vancouver Island, with rooms built around the view: California kings, gas fireplaces, kitchenettes, and enough square footage that "hotel room" barely covers it. A full-service spa and a sea-view restaurant round things out for when the ocean stops being enough.
