An abandoned limestone quarry was transformed into the dramatic Sunk

Through successive generations of the Butchart family, the Gardens has retained much of its original design, and continues the Victorian tradition of seasonally changing the outstanding floral displays.

The best small hotel in Lillooet is actually owned by the local native band and operated by a professional hotel manager. It is not fancy, but clean and safe and the surrounding view of the mountains is breathtaking. Sorry no internet is available this night. Hotel Details
