Hotel Overview

Duncan is the warm heart of the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, known as the City of Totems for the dozens of carved poles that line its streets, a nod to the strong local First Nations presence. North of Victoria, the Best Western Cowichan Valley Inn, Duncan, Canada, is a welcoming base that keeps travellers coming back.

The comfortable rooms come with 50-inch TVs and fast free Wi-Fi, and the beds are among the most comfortable around, an easy place to unwind after a day out. An on-site restaurant and lounge serves some of the finest eating in the valley, with a cold draft beer on hand at day's end.

Wander the town's 80 totem poles, sample the wares at any of the valley's wineries, or set out for the hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing of Vancouver Island, with a business centre and meeting space for working travellers. Once the workday ends, the Cowichan Valley's vineyards and totems take over.
