Welcome to The Old Courthouse Inn
Nestled within the National Historic District of Powell River’s Historic Townsite on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, The Old Courthouse Inn stands as a proud reminder of timeless craftsmanship and local history. Built in 1939 in classic Tudor Revival architecture, the building once served as the community’s courthouse, complete with jail cells, a police station, and other provincial government offices.
Lovingly restored in 1997, the inn has been carefully updated to offer modern comfort while preserving the character and integrity of its original design.
Today, guests are invited to experience the inn’s eight uniquely decorated rooms, each filled with an eclectic collection of antiques and local artifacts — a nostalgic tribute to the past, paired with the warmth and hospitality of a boutique heritage hotel.
