About Us

Welcome

A labour of love

The newly restored Temperance Hotel is an award-winning Heritage Boutique Hotel located in picturesque and historic downtown Ladysmith. This premiere destination has 5 large executive suites available, each offering unique characteristics with a mix of modern amenities and repurposed materials that have been salvaged from the renovation and purposely applied to enhance each space.

The property is full of historic details, and is successful in creating a one of a kind, must see property, with attention to detail by mixing the old with the new.

Stefan and Denise are the owners of the Historic
Temperance Hotel, officially celebrating ownership since Sept 4, 2020. The pair took on
this massive project and have lovingly restored this building in a lengthy 3.5 year
renovation. They have saved this historic building, which is on the Canadian Heritage
Registry, and have put all their efforts into creating a welcoming, comfortable and
unique place for guests to stay. They are so excited for you to see it!

SATISFACTION

Nimmi’s place is clean and spacious! Location is very convenient to downtown Ladysmith and Transfer Beach Park, and despite being on the side of the highway, it’s actually very quiet. 

Annie

Vancouver, Canada

Nimmi’s place was very nice and close to the Ladysmith downtown. It had lots of kitchen supplies and enough space for us to hang out when we weren’t exploring the town. Perfect for our short stay!

Hannah

The apartment and location was perfect for us and looked well stocked with everything we needed. We didn’t cook while there as we were on the go and over at our families home for meals.

The space

This unique suite is geared to impress you with it’s 9.5 ft ceiling height adding to the expansive feel, original building elements, and its heritage style mixed with modern elements. The gorgeous floor boards have been reclaimed from all parts of this building, meticulously laid and lightly sanded and sealed to give the amazing colourful effect. The kitchen and hallway walls are original that were uncovered after scraping many layers of wallpaper, fabric, donnaconna board and paneling off. Many hours of sanding and cleaning went into these walls (if only they could talk) and then they were sealed to preserve them, original nails and all.
Modern touches are also provided in this suite including; the deluxe hotel pillow top queen bed for the ultimate sleep, comfortable and fresh linens and the large comfy couch, which offers a perfect place for an afternoon nap.
Sleep well my friends!
The kitchen is well equipped and should support all of your culinary needs, with plenty of dinnerware, glasses, pots and pans.
Now let’s talk about that mural! Dated in 1903 that is a vinyl wrap made from an original photo of main street. If you are standing on Roberts street looking back towards the hotel that would be the same scene. Wow what a difference 100 + years make.
The bathroom will take you back in time with our use of tile. Styling that would have been used those many years ago, now placed down with a modern application. The “T” on the floor is to acknowledge our logo for the Temperance . Heated floors for your comfort as well as a multi-function shower with rain head.
Every unit has a central air system for heating and/or cooling dependent on your needs.

Enjoy WIFI and cable – Netflix is also provided. Passwords provided upon check in.
Piece of mind for our guests! You can be assured all of our units are professionally cleaned and guests can look forward to clean, fresh linen, bedding, and towels every time.
The property also hosts the Ladysmith Art Gallery!
We hope you will enjoy and appreciate all that went into this suite – we can’t wait for you to experience it in person!
