Welcome

Come experience Nanaimo’s First Official Whisky Bar

Home of the Mid-Island Whisky Club

The Taketsuru 21 was awarded the “World’s Best Blended Malt Whisky” in 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011 at the World Whisky Awards.

Masataka Taketsuru established the Nikka distillery in Northern Japan in 1934 and produces Nikka whisky out of 2 distilleries, therefore not a “single malt”.  This is a rare find in British Columbia!


Nestled in the heart of Nanaimo’s prestigious north end, The Grand Hotel offers discerning guests premier accommodation and amenities in a location like no other. Whether it’s for business or the world-famous island attractions, when you stay at The Grand… you’re at the centre of it all.

The city of Nanaimo is located on beautiful Vancouver Island. Nanaimo’s outdoor activities are second to none, offering lush golf courses, world-class diving and fishing, scenic hiking and kayaking. If the famous west coast weather becomes too much, a newly built ice arena, aquatic centre with wave pool, and indoor rock climbing facilities provide plenty of options. For the highly adventurous, Nanaimo offers bungy jumping off of the first legal custom made bungy bridge in North America! All of these attractions are only minutes away from the first-class accommodations of The Grand Hotel Nanaimo.

Located just minutes from BC Ferries and the Nanaimo Airport, The Grand Hotel is central to all major transportation services in the city. The Grand is also minutes away from Nanaimo’s downtown harbour centre where seaplane service travels to Victoria, BC’s capital, and Vancouver, the location for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

While on Vancouver Island, be sure to experience the best the Island has to offer. With its temperate climate and enviable central location near to acclaimed golfing, fishing, hiking, and skiing; it’s no wonder that Vancouver Island is consistently ranked as one of the world’s top island destinations.
