Diamond King Room, Magnolia Hotel & Spa, Victoria, Canada

Magnolia Hotel & Spa

British Columbia, Canada

Set just steps from the port of Victoria’s Inner Harbour, the Magnolia Hotel & Spa is a sophisticated boutique hotel perfectly placed for exploring British Columbia’s capital city.

With just 64 elegant and spacious rooms, a careful blend of both traditional and contemporary furnishings has been used. The large floor-to-ceiling windows make the rooms light and airy. The spa sits adjacent to the lobby and offers a selection of treatment rooms, book ahead, it’s open to the public, and one of the most popular spas in town.

The Courtney Restaurant is a light modern space in which to enjoy all meals. The menu offers clean and contemporary cuisine. The oyster bar is impressive, and the evening fare also offers a five-course tasting menu with wine pairing.

Why we like Magnolia Hotel & Spa

We like Magnolia for its central location and elegance. The Magnolia Hotel & Spa is a small boutique hotel with a high level of service, spacious rooms and a delightful restaurant. Their attention to detail is evident as staggering fresh flower displays are created each week in the public areas, and chocolate plates are delivered to your room.

Tip: The Diamond rooms on floors six and seven have views of the harbour. The Magnolia Hotel & Spa was also voted one of Travel + Leisure’s number one city hotels in Canada and is certainly one of Victoria’s best luxury properties.
