Shaughnessy · Vancouver, BC · Since 1902

A heritage mansion. A warm welcome.

The Balfour is a restored 1902 heritage Bed & Breakfast in Vancouver's most beautiful residential neighbourhood — a quiet, gardened escape with quick access to downtown.

Our story

A premier B&B in Vancouver's most historic neighbourhood

Built in 1902, The Balfour is set within spacious landscaped gardens in the historic Shaughnessy neighbourhood — a part of Vancouver where wide, tree-lined streets and grand heritage homes have been preserved for over a century.

Our rooms come with full ensuite or semi-private bathrooms. Many feature hand-painted ceilings and faux-finished walls — preserved with care to retain the charm and character of this historic mansion.

While here, guests are invited to enjoy the surrounding gardens, stroll the wide streets of Shaughnessy, or simply relax with a book and absorb the grandeur and serenity of the house.
