The City of Victoria goes all out for the Holidays, with businesses and attractions around the town pouring out all the Festive cheer.
Victoria is a perfect spot to find your Christmas Spirit and a little R&R before the big day.
A great place to base your Holiday getaway is the Magnolia Hotel, in downtown Victoria. The luxurious, boutique hotel has a convenient, central location just a block from the Inner Harbour. Walking into the hotel, the scent of Christmas envelopes guests from the mulled hot apple cider brewing in the lobby.
I last stayed at the Magnolia Hotel over a decade, it was nice at that time but the Hotel’s more recent updates have added a bright, modern aesthetic to the rooms. I has the opportunity to stay in a higher floor suite with a classic Victorian view of the Parliament Buildings. The spacious suite had a soft king bed, a wet bar and a comfortable seating area next to a gas fireplace with a practical desk for those on business.
The huge bathroom has a deep tub and roomy separate shower stall. With the recent addition of L’Occitane en Provence amenities guests can treat themselves to a spa-like experience. If a real spa experience is something in mind, The Spa Magnolia is just downstairs for some pampering. Guests that book direct with magnoliahotel.com receive breakfast included with their stay. Catalano Restaurant and Cicchetti Bar, just off the lobby is a meeting place for guests and locals alike, serving an Italian and Spanish inspired menu.
Right now Magnolia Hotel has a festive treat with their Christmas In Victoria package. From $189 per night, the package includes $25 credit to use towards spa, dining or in-room or parking services, plus daily continental breakfast, and holiday treats in the lobby.
Book the Magnolia Hotel for this Holiday Season and experience Christmas in Victoria.
