Backroads Casual Hotels

These properties may be our less luxurious option, but their adventure-ready locations, distinct charms and authentic hospitality often make them guest favorites. Whether you’re in a Canadian lodge with glorious views or a historic Tuscan abode, you’ll find that we uncover the ideal places to relax and absorb the region’s spirit.

Handpicked Properties

Our Casual hotels are ideal places to relax after a day of active exploring. While they are by definition comfortably informal, they must meet a rigorous list of criteria set by the very demanding Backroads team to ensure the comfort of our guests.

Eat Like a Local

Easy conversation, welcoming hosts, delicious food with a local spin—the best meals are the ones you don't want to end. Your host might be a young local chef one day or a nonna welcoming you to her farmhouse the next.
