While a Quebec hotel took the title, five B.C. hotels made the Travel + Leisure 10 Best City Hotels in Canada list.

According to Travel + Leisure, those surveyed prioritized service and location which bode well for two Victoria hotels and three more in Vancouver.

The Fairmont Empress, overlooking Victoria鈥檚 Inner Harbour, led a half dozen Fairmont properties at No. 3 on the list. The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver was 6th and Vancouver鈥檚 Fairmont Waterfront was 9th.

Vancouver鈥檚 Rosewood Hotel Georgia and Victoria鈥檚 Magnolia Hotel and Spa were No. 2 and No. 4, respectively.

The Auberge Saint-Antoine, Quebec City topped the charts overall.

鈥淧ossibly the highest level of service I鈥檝e received in 30 years of travel,鈥� one reader declared on the Travel and Leisure website.

Another said, 鈥淭he concierge is the most helpful I鈥檝e ever experienced, and the location is unmatched. This was our third stay and we will always return here when we go to Quebec City.鈥�

But the review said there鈥檚 more.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not just impeccable service that earned this Relais & Ch芒teaux property the top spot: the sweeping views of the St. Lawrence River and cozy touches like in-room fireplaces also endeared the hotel to readers.鈥�
