Stay at our Victoria BC hotel, and you’ll stay different than anywhere else. So if you are here for a nice leisure getaway, attending a conference at the University of Victoria, or making use of our meeting space; we’ve got you covered. You’ll even rest different – comforted by uncluttered interiors in your quiet ocean-side retreat. The only music is the harbour’s symphony: the honking of distant geese and sailboat rigs clinking in the breeze. So come. Stay where being different in so many ways is our very best feature of all.
