A flat-screen cable TV is provided in each uniquely decorated room at Abigail’s Hotel. Italian marble and antique features, such as a claw-foot bathtub, are offered in the bathroom. Select rooms offer a spa bath. Rooms can only be accessed via stairs. Really lovely hotel with spacious rooms and bathrooms. Enjoyed spending a little time with a drink and a book in the reading room before heading out for the evening. Friendly and accommodating staff members.

Nestled on the shores of the Salish Sea near Victoria, British Columbia, the Oak Bay Beach Hotel offers an unforgettable oceanfront retreat. Recently named one of the Top 10 Best Hotels in Western Canada by Condé Nast Traveler, our boutique hotel blends timeless elegance with modern comfort for a truly luxurious stay. Beautiful hotel, with amazing amenities. Loved the mineral pools. Our room was stunning, with attention to detail. We received a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine for our 20th anniversary, which was much appreciated. Staff were always friendly and professional. I highly recommend Oak Bay Beach Hotel. Thank you!

Located in downtown Tofino, the suites at Himwitsa Lodge have scenic views of the Clayoquot Sound. It features a fish shop and native art gallery on-site.

A private entrance and deck with sea views lead to every suite at Lodge Himwitsa. Guests can relax on the sofa bed in the living room and watch the satellite TV. We thought the location was fabulous, the best view in Tofino overlooking the dock and inlet, out towards the sunset. The room was large and comfortable and had everything we needed. The little kitchenette was perfect for making breakfast. The shops, cafes/restaurants and boat/plane/kayak tour operators of Tofino were all within walking distance. The lovely beaches were a short drive away and there were bikes for hire if needed. Visit to the Tofino brewery was great. Free parking was a big bonus as it can be difficult or expensive otherwise.

Each luxury room at Beaconside individually decorated and features English antiques and stained-glass windows. Bathrobes and a spacious sitting area are provided. Some may also include a fireplace, a spa bath, or a terrace. Beaconsfield Bed and Breakfast - Victoria is not a hotel but a heritage, built by the architect who built the Victoria Parliament Building. Besides, the breakfast was very special. They serve us yoghurt with fresh fruits and smoked salmon with egg. The dining room is very nice but small. They have 2 dining rooms. We like the one with window and sunshine.

This adult only 110-year-old Italian mansion in historic Victoria is adjacent to the Government House and Gardens. It features a daily homemade breakfast and luxury rooms with a 2-person jetted tub.

The elegant rooms at Fairholme Manor are styled with hardwood floors and clean white walls. Each room features a TV and VCR, small refrigerator and bathrobes. Many boast 12-foot ceilings or large bay windows. Impeccable! The room we stayed in was beautiful and had everything we needed. The breakfast was so delicious and the service was brilliant. I could not recommend enough. It was about a 20 minute walk into downtown but a really nice walk. The area is just lovely.
