Fodor's Expert Review O Canada House B&B

1114 Barclay St., Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 1H1, Canada

This beautifully restored 1897 Victorian is home to an elegant but comfortable B&B with fun historical significance: it's where the first version of "O Canada," the country's national anthem, was penned in 1909. Each bedroom has classic and quirky antiques alongside modern comforts such as bathrobes to help make things homey. The top-floor room is enormous, with two king beds and a private sitting and dining area. A separate one-room coach house in the garden is a romantic option, though it faces onto the back alley and is a bit cramped. Breakfast, served in the dining room, is a lavish affair.

PROS

  • limited off-street parking
  • fantastic breakfast
  • within walking distance of Downtown

CONS

  • many rooms on the small side
  • no elevator to the upper rooms
