Stay at Nelson's Historic Hume Hotel Antique
Established in 1898, Hume Hotel stands as a testament to Nelson's rich history and enduring hospitality tradition. Our storied legacy began with J. Fred and Lydia Hume, whose vision for architectural excellence and modern amenities set a new standard for British Columbia's interior. Through transformative renovations in 1929 inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's principles and a meticulous heritage restoration in 1980, we have preserved our Victorian grandeur while embracing contemporary comforts. As the Grand Old Dame of Nelson, we continue to offer meticulously designed accommodations, award-winning dining experiences, and event spaces that blend historic charm with modern sophistication.Our commitment to excellence is reflected in every detailfrom the original brick fireplace in the Library Lounge to our 24/7 Hume 2 Go delivery service. With three generations of Hume descendants participating in our 2005 re-opening, we maintain the family legacy of hospitality that has defined this landmark for over a century.
