Where to eat and stay in Nelson

54 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Nelson, British Columbia — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 54 venues in Nelson — 38 places to eat and 16 to stay. That makes it the 51st-largest of the 799 towns and suburbs we cover in British Columbia, carrying 0% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 29% are cafés against a national figure of 19%. Nelson is 10 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 11 cafés, 15 restaurants, 7 takeaways, 2 bars and 3 pubs.

18 of the 38 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are burger (3), coffee shop (2) and sandwich (2). Relative to the rest of the country Nelson is unusually strong on burger — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 12 publish opening hours (22%), 1 are recorded as step-free, 2 have outdoor seating and 1 flag vegetarian options. That is about the national average of 21%.

For a bed, Nelson runs to 16 listings — 8 hotels, 2 motels, 2 hostels and 4 holiday parks and campgrounds. Hotels dominate, at 50% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — La Prairie (54), Joliette (54), Rivière-du-Loup (54) and Victoriaville (54) — average 12% accommodation. Nelson runs at 30%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 2 of the 54 venues in Nelson carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
