Greater Victoria Hotels

Being a major Canadian tourist destination, Victoria is home to numerous hotels of all kinds and standards. Below is a list of some that we recommend.

CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON VICTORIA HOTELS

As of April 1st, 2020, at least three major Victoria hotels have closed their doors temporarily due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. The Fairmont Empress, Inn at the Laurel Point and Hotel Grand Pacific all ceased operations, at least until June, as have several other places. All other hotels have also been negatively impacted to varying degrees.

For details about closures and when places expect to start up again, see each of the hotel’s official websites. Closed hotels may reopen at any time, and, before things return to normal, other hotels may also close temporarily too.
