District régional de Powell River : Complexes hôteliers populaires en 2026

Located in Powell River, BC. When the U.S. entered WWI in 1917, they embarked on a program of shipbuilding to offset heavy losses to merchant shipping from German U-Boats. As steel plate was in such great demand, government support was given for the building of seagoing ferro-concrete ships.
The WWII concrete ship-building program was more successful than its WWI counterpart. Construction was much stronger due to better cement and more steel reinforcements. Concrete bottoms, which eliminated condensation issues in steel ships, were well-suited for carrying dry cargo. These vessels handled well but were only capable of a maximum of 10 knots. All of the dismantled hulks were proud ships in their day - some fought battles of freedom, while others carried full cargoes along the world’s trade routes.
In the late 1940s, after rust and rot holed many of the original steel ships, Macmillan Bloedel settled on the collection of concrete vessels as a more permanent solution to their breakwater dilemma.

« We were disappointed to discover a small dark basement suite upon our arrival. The queen bed was extremely firm and uncomfortable and the pull out bed was comparable to one would you would expect at a sixth grade sleepover in the 1980’s.Despite listing the suite as a studio, the pictures show separate sleeping areas as ‘bedrooms’ causing confusion as to the actual size of the unit.Within 10 minutes of our arrival, we determined we wouldn’t be able to enjoy our vacation at this property and ended...

« A perfect getaway in a peaceful, nurturing oasis. Every detail is perfection - you can just feel the love that has been tenderly put into making this place what it is. Nestled in the forest, with bright sunshine, and nature trails to the beach, it made us feel like forest fairies! Although we only stayed one night, it felt like months of adventure and experience had elapsed. Sam went above and beyond - and we feel lucky to have a new friend in her. It could not have been a better experience. We...

« les trois nuits passées dans cet hôtel laisseront un très bon souvenir. Les chambres sont très confortables, bien équipées. La propreté générale de l'établissement satisfaisant. Il existe un spa et une salle de gymnastique accessible la clientèle.Les chambres donnent toutes sur la mer avec une vue à couper le souffle. Seul bémol : l'ameublement intérieur qui nécessiterait un petit rafraîchissement. »
