Bordering the breathtaking snowcapped mountains of Southwestern BC, Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa is a refreshing world of outdoor tranquility. This beautiful wooded shoreline is a renowned Canadian gateway surrounded by 45 miles of glacial waters and 700 acres of woodlands, wildlife, and waterways that are yours to explore.

First used by members of the Salish First Nations, the soothing effects of our hot springs have drawn people to this area for hundreds of years.

The original St. Alice Hotel and Bath House built in 1886 was the first to welcome those from Vancouver seeking an opportunity to benefit from the natural mineral hot springs. Destroyed by fire in 1920, the St. Alice was replaced in 1925 by the existing Main Hotel building and the Harrison Hotel was born. In these early days, guests traveled from the coast by riverboat or train and coach from the nearby Agassiz station. The hotel enjoyed great success, as it was the first ‘resort’ style destination of its kind in southwestern British Columbia. During the war years of the 1940’s, the hotel became a sanitarium for women returning from Europe who had participated in the war effort.

Following the war, the hotel was restored to its original purpose welcoming guests in growing numbers from the entire Pacific Northwest region of the continent. Enjoying increasing popularity through the 1950’s and 60’s, the hotel expanded with the addition of the West Tower and Wing and The Copper Room. In 1988, the East Tower was added followed by the expansion of the pools to the 3 outdoor and 2 indoor mineral pools that our guests enjoy today. Complementing the pools, the addition of Healing Springs Spa in 2001, Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa continues to welcome guests seeking a rejuvenating and relaxing experience in this spectacular destination.

We have five unique indoor and outdoor pools that range in temperature from 30 C to 40 C (85 F to 104 F) so you’ll be sure to find one that’s right for you. And with our Healing Springs Spa facilities available to all of our guests, you’ll have everything you need to relax the day away.

Whether you’re visiting Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa for business, for pleasure or for both, you’ll find a location that ensures success. We offer numerous outdoor activities such as golfing and fishing as well as activities like boating and waterskiing at our Marina. And with more than 2,160 square metres (24,000 square feet) of conference and banquet facilities, we can host events of all shapes and sizes.
