The Quilchena Hotel

A small turn-of-the 20th century boutique hotel with a big heart in the midst of Nicola Valley’s old west. Our 15 antique-appointed rooms plus ranch house provide a memorable stay. Quilchena Hotel also boasts a dining room, saloon, parlour, coffee shop, banquet room and wine cellar.

Stay for a romantic honeymoon. Invite your family to explore the Nicola Valley. Exchange vows on our beautiful grounds. Schedule a guys’ or girls’ weekend away.

Quilchena Hotel is the perfect place to escape the city and enjoy what the Thompson-Nicola region has to offer. A stay at Quilchena includes the right mix of BC ‘staycation’ ingredients: a gorgeous lake, comfortable, unique rooms, delicious food and a variety of outdoor activities. Quilchena is boutique at its best.

Past guests note that what they love about the Quilchena Hotel is the ‘experience’ and ‘ambiance’. In a world of fast food, non-stop work and impersonal customer service, Quilchena bucks these modern trends.

Built in 1908 by rancher Joseph Guichon, Quilchena is one of the Nicola Valley’s premier tourist destinations. The place where the willows grow, as named by local First Nations, Quilchena is a small country village located just north of Merritt, BC.  The owners are descendents of Joseph Guichon and continue on the tradition of hometown hospitality. Their European sensibilities allow you to dine, golf, play an 1884 Heintzmann grand piano or simply read on one of the hotel’s sunny decks.

Quilchena is also home to Quilchena Cattle Company, Quilchena Hotel, Quilchena on-the-Lake Golf  &  RV and Quilchena General Store.
