Stays in Prince George
Prince George is northern British Columbia's hub city, where downtown business hotels sit minutes from Fort George Park and airport-strip properties cluster around indoor pools, hot tubs and a golf course. It's a stopover-turned-stay for road trippers, business travellers and families heading further north.
Prince George sits at the junction of two highways in the geographic centre of British Columbia, which makes it as much a waypoint as a destination in its own right. Stays here split cleanly into two clusters: downtown hotels within walking distance of Fort George Park and the riverfront, and a strip of airport-adjacent properties along Highway 97 with indoor pools, hot tubs and, at one address, a casino. Families find waterparks and kid-focused buffets, couples find the city's best-reviewed indoor pool-and-balcony combination, and business travellers get a downtown base without downtown prices. Winters run cold and long, so an indoor pool or hot tub does real work here rather than sitting unused.

Local tips
- Book downtown if you want to walk to Fort George Park and the riverfront without a car.
- Pick an airport-strip hotel if you're arriving late or leaving early, most sit under twenty kilometres from the terminal.
- Pack for real winter between November and March, when an indoor pool or hot tub becomes the main evening plan.
- Confirm any 'skiing nearby' claim means a drive to Tabor Mountain, not a slopeside room, before booking on that promise alone.
- Reserve ahead for the golf and curling club season in summer if your stay depends on a tee time.
- Choose a suite with a kitchen if you're staying more than three nights, several airport-strip hotels offer one.
Where to stay
Frequently asked questions
Where should I stay in Prince George?
Downtown suits travellers who want to walk to Fort George Park and city-centre business; the airport strip along Highway 97 suits families, golfers and anyone flying in or out, with most of its hotels under twenty kilometres from the terminal.
What types of accommodation does Prince George have?
The city runs almost entirely on mid-range chain hotels: three- and four-star properties with indoor pools, hot tubs and family rooms, plus one full-service hotel with a spa and one resort with an on-site casino.
Is Prince George good for a family stay?
Yes, several airport-strip hotels are built around family amenities, including an indoor waterpark, child-friendly breakfast buffets and family rooms with kitchens, which makes that strip more practical for kids than the downtown cluster of business hotels.
Does Prince George have ski-in/ski-out hotels?
No. Tabor Mountain, the closest lift to town, sits about twenty kilometres out, so any hotel advertising easy access to skiing means a drive to the hill, not a walk from the room to the slope.
How far are Prince George hotels from the airport?
Most airport-strip hotels sit between five and eighteen kilometres from Prince George Airport, with the closest properties reachable in under ten minutes by car; downtown hotels add several more minutes on top of that same drive.
What's the best time of year to visit Prince George?
Summer brings the mildest weather for golf, the Two Rivers Gallery and Fort George Park; winter runs cold and snowy from November to March, which is when an indoor pool, hot tub or sauna becomes the main reason to pick one hotel over another.
