Grand History

Built, owned and operated by the Sirri family, The Grand Hotel is Nanaimo's only family-owned boutique-style hotel.  Our team is here to offer you a welcoming experience on Vancouver Island. 
​
We are just minutes from B.C. Ferries and the Nanaimo Airport. The Grand is also minutes from Nanaimo’s downtown harbour centre, where seaplane service travels to Victoria, BC’s capital, and Vancouver. The Grand Hotel is central to all major transportation services in the city.
​
Nanaimo’s outdoor activities are second to none, with lush golf courses, world-class diving and fishing, scenic hiking and kayaking. If the famous West Coast weather and dozens of outdoor activities are not enough, 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 bungee jumping from the first official custom-made bungee bridge in North America! All these attractions are only minutes away, so come over and experience Vancouver Island.
