The next time you travel to beautiful British Columbia’s capital city, arrive with high expectations. Victoria’s Oak Bay Beach Hotel believes that “the best things in life are timeless”… and makes a point of practicing what it preaches.

Victoria is a charming, stately city in and of itself, emanating timeless elegance and a traditional, sophisticated spirit. Originally established in the early 20th century, Oak Bay Beach Hotel has been reinvented and refurbished; improving upon what was already a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

True to its Manor House style roots, the hotel’s 100 guest rooms and suites are designed as refined coastal retreats, each framed by residential, marina, or sweeping ocean views. Thoughtful luxury touches like spa-style soaking tubs, fireplaces, oversized windows, and plush furnishings that create a warm, residential feel that invites guests to settle in and stay awhile.

The hotel’s culinary experiences range from lively to laid-back, each with its own distinct character. The Snug—known as Victoria’s first seaside pub—pairs floor-to-ceiling ocean views with a warm, convivial atmosphere celebrating good food, good spirits, and lifelong friendships. FARO Handcrafted Pizza & Tasting Room offers a relaxed setting for wood-fired pizzas and thoughtfully curated wines, while in-room dining brings personalized, luxury meals directly to the comfort of your room.

Perched on the ocean’s edge, the Boathouse Spa & Seaside Mineral Pools deliver a deeply restorative escape inspired by the surrounding seascape. Indulge in premium treatments while three heated mineral pools gaze out over the Salish Sea, inviting effortless relaxation. Complete the experience in the poolside Stargazing Sauna, where a glass ceiling and sweeping ocean views create a tranquil, skyward retreat.

Adventure and discovery are woven into every stay, with experiences ranging from whale watching and kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding and rounds at Canada’s oldest private golf course, the Victoria Golf Club. Through thoughtful partnerships with local operators, guests can also explore curated wine tours, guided hikes, and immersive culinary adventures.

This sense of place is matched by a deep commitment to sustainability—95% of materials from the original hotel were repurposed or recycled during reconstruction, alongside ongoing collaborations with local artisans, farmers, and eco-focused initiatives that define a more conscious approach to luxury.
