Introducing our New Coast Fort St. John Hotel – The Perfect Family Getaway

British Columbia is often argued as Canada's most beautiful province and once you see it for yourself, you will immediately understand why. It’s home to numerous stunning national parks, impossibly blue lakes, and some of the best mountain terrain in North America.

A hidden gem within B.C. is the Peace River Regional District, which is also the province's largest. This region is known for its abundant wildlife such as moose, elk, grizzly bears, its expansive rolling green hills and wetlands, and its epic summer sunsets.

No matter what brings you to this hidden gem, the Peace Region is a great place for a relaxing weekend getaway. And fortunately, an exciting new hotel to the region opened in Fort St. John.
