Hastings House Country House Hotel

An English manor house relocated, spiritually at least, to a 22-acre spread above Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island. This small luxury country house hotel runs just 18 rooms and suites, keeping things quietly unhurried in a way that larger properties can only promise. Spa treatments happen in a converted barn, the restaurant puts a Swiss chef's European training against British Columbia's seasonal larder, and the ferry ride over from Vancouver already feels like the trip beginning.
