Last updated: March 2026 · 20 accommodations ranked
Squamish isn't just a pit stop on the way to Whistler anymore. Whether you're here to climb the Chief, mountain bike the trails, or just eat and drink your way through downtown, you need somewhere to crash. The options range from highway hotels to riverside campgrounds to Airbnb cabins with hot tubs and mountain views.
Here's where to stay based on what you're here to do.

Best Areas to Stay
Downtown Squamish
Best for: Restaurants, breweries, walkability
Cleveland Ave is the heart of town — walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. Most hotels and B&Bs are here or nearby.
Garibaldi Highlands
Best for: Quiet stays, families, mountain views
Residential neighbourhood up the hill with stunning views of the Chief and Garibaldi Range. Great Airbnbs and vacation rentals, but you'll need a car.
Valleycliffe
Best for: Climbers, hikers, Chief access
Right at the base of the Stawamus Chief. Walk to the trailhead. The neighbourhood of choice for serious climbers and anyone who wants to be first on the trail.
Brackendale
Best for: Nature, eagles, river access, budget
Ten minutes north of downtown on the Squamish River. Quieter, more rural, and home to one of the world's largest bald eagle populations in winter. Good camping nearby.
