Guarding its own landscaped promontory overlooking the harbor with rooms offering views in either direction (toward or away from town), this indie-operated hotel is arguably Victoria's best waterside option. Rooms are huge and come with deluxe extras (including bathrobes and tubs), there’s a fabulous pool and gym, in-room spa, bike rental and even an electric-car charging station.
The hotel is undergoing renovations through 2019 but remains open. One thing that hasn’t changed is the outstanding level of service – the perfect mix of professional and friendly.
