There are many excellent hotels in Victoria BC to choose from, so it is easy to find one that meets your needs when you travel to Victoria. We wholeheartedly recommend the following Victoria BC hotels, most of which are close to the Victoria ferry terminal in the Inner Harbour:

Days Inn Victoria on the Harbour affords lovely views of the Inner Harbour. It is within walking distance to the Royal BC Museum, the IMAX theater, and the lovely Parliament Buildings. Walk to the shops and restaurants of downtown Victoria, or grab a drink in the Hotel Lounge and a bite to eat in the Swiftsure Restaurant. Start your day right with a dip in a heated pool (indoor and outdoor), and finish the day with a soak in the jacuzzi.

The Executive House Hotel is close to just about everything in Victoria: Miniature World, the Bug Zoo, and Cycle BC Rentals. Walk down the street to Pescatore's Fish House and Oyster Bay, or enjoy the seafood and steak restaurant on site. This European style boutique hotel is the ideal place to host your next corporate retreat - it has several meeting room facilities and an executive floor.

The Queen Victoria Hotel and Suites is steps away from the best of Victoria. Walk to Beacon Hill Park - ideal for an early morning run or evening stroll. Walk to the Royal BC Museum, shops, and the Inner Harbour. Or simply enjoy all the hotel has to offer: swimming, a fitness center, or spa services. Be sure to dine at least once at the delightful Samuel's By The Park restaurant.

The Strathcona Hotel is in the heart of downtown Victoria. Enjoy delicious pub fare at The Sticky Wicket Pub & Restaurant, or watch a game of volleyball on the rooftop deck. You may have so much fun at the Strathcona you'll need to schedule another trip to actually visit Victoria!

Victoria TravelLodge on the Gorge is located on the scenic Gorge Waterway, just outside of the heart of Victoria. It is ideal for lengthy stays, offering weekly and monthly rates and rooms with kitchen suites. Check out their Upper Deck for a variety of ongoing entertainment!

There are so many fantastic hotels right in the heart of downtown Victoria that it can be hard to decide where to stay. Each one has something unique to offer guests. Read on for two examples.

The Hotel Grand Pacific offers live smooth jazz by pianist Jan Stirling on Friday and Saturday evenings. She is situated in the dining room, but you can also hear the music from the lounge, and it creates a lovely ambiance. Hotel Grand Pacific also offers a delicious West Coast Afternoon Tea, featuring wild salmon lox, smoked albacore, poached wild spot prawn brochettes, and truffles. Mmmm.

Traditional English Tea is a century-old tradition at the Fairmont Empress Hotel, overlooking Victoria's Inner Harbour. Pastry Chef D'Oyen Christie's creations will melt in your mouth. You'll want to explore Victoria, of course, but you may have trouble tearing yourself away from this luxurious hotel. Restore yourself in the spa. Enjoy a cocktail on the Veranda, and savor the amazing curry buffet in the Bengal Lounge.
