O Canada House B&B

Vancouver, British Columbia.

Beautifully restored Historic Victorian house in quiet downtown location. Furnished in late Victorian style, home of the Buchan version of the Canadian National Anthem, first sung here in 1909.

Bed and Breakfast Description

O Canada' House was the 1997 winner of the prestigious "City of Vancouver Heritage Award of Honour" for outstanding refurbishment & interior decoration in the Victorian style of Queen Anne.

The house was originally built in 1897 as the private residence of Mr. Ewing Buchan, President of The Hamilton Bank and a prominent citizen of early Vancouver. In 1909, Mr. Buchan wrote one of the most well known English versions of our National Anthem in this award-winning heritage home. The first public singing of "O Canada" took place at a luncheon meeting of the Canadian Club in Vancouver on February 9, 1910.

'O Canada' House is large enough to ensure maximum privacy and comfort in your suite, although we encourage you to enjoy the spacious main floor with its large entry hall and open staircase, an inviting front parlor with fireplace, & an elegant dining room with fireplace & individual breakfast tables. Of course, you may wish to sit out on the wrap-around porch or enjoy the picturesque English garden.

The friendly & knowledgeable staff is always available to assist guests in selecting a delicious dinner from the menus of the city’s most respected restaurants, or to help with sightseeing ideas. These might include an evening stroll in our quiet residential neighborhood, the nearby colorful exuberance of famous Robson Street’s shops & restaurants, or through Stanley Park – a 1,000-acre natural forest bordered on three sides by the Pacific Ocean. Free parking & luggage storage.

When visiting Vancouver, many of our guests like to visit Whistler Mountain or our Capital City, Victoria, on Vancouver Island. Here are a few links that you might find helpful in planning this part of your vacation.

Whistler is a world class ski resort located in BC's Coastal Mountain range. This internationally acclaimed year-round playground is north of Vancouver on Canada's Pacific Coast. Famous for its ski and snowboard terrain, the resort is fast becoming a favorite summer destination as well.

Victoria is the "City of Gardens". This intimate, sophisticated City is the vacation capital of Canada and the premiere tourist spot in the Pacific Northwest.
