Tucked away in the tail end of the Rockies, this Canadian town is full of charm. Once known for its mining history, settlers determined that they wanted to make their town available to tourists. To capture the hearts and minds of visitors, the community created a quaint town that was open and friendly. Because of the popularity during the main seasons, tourists should choose hotels and accommodations in Kimberley BC that will fit their interests.

Once the settlers decided what they were planning in order to draw in tourists, the Bavarian theme runs throughout the city. Visitors have a variety of housing options available to for their stay. For some, the desire to be located in the historic downtown area is the desired destination. These guests want to explore the classic shops, street side cafes, and wander the town on cobblestone paths.

Downtown is host to two major guest locations. Each hotel has its own personality and style, yet they capture the Bavarian identity of the city. Guests staying in either of these locations have immediate access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Downtown is where many of the activities are held, thus visitors find there is no lack of things to do.

Additional housing options are also available for sports enthusiasts who want to be at the center of the mountain. With golfing and skiing making up the majority of the outdoor activities, there is a lovely hotel that provides immediate access. Staying at the sports center of the town provides guests with little commuting and a great deal of outdoor fun. Visitors can get the most of their stay with the slopes or the greens mere steps away.

Along with direct access to outdoor activities, there are plenty of vacation rentals that cater to tourists. A variety of condominiums and townhouses are available year round. If unfamiliar with the town, visitors can request information on rentals well before the desired date. There are a wide variety of prices to choose from as well. Many of the rentals are fully stocked and ready for guests, although most require a minimum number of nights per stay.

Some visitors may prefer a slightly more private accommodation. Kimberley is home to a good number of bed and breakfast establishments. These homes usually hold fewer guests and are geared for a more private stay. The morning meal is also a part of the lodging price. The meal can consist of full breakfast items such as eggs and waffles, or they may offer a simpler fare such as fruits and cheeses. Visitors should inquire about menus when scheduling the visit.

If roughing it is a bit more of a draw, there are also camping sites within the area. For some, the traveling itself is part of the experience. It is best to call ahead and make reservations, however, for these spots tend to fill up quickly in high seasons. The camping sites offer lovely views along with the nature setting that camping enthusiasts enjoy.

Hotels Kimberley and accommodations in Kimberley BC are vast and varied. Whether coming in through the States or visiting from elsewhere, visitors are treated like members of an extended family. This lovely Bavarian styled town will capture the hearts of all who enter it.
