Hotel Grand Pacific

The capital of British Columbia, Victoria is a compact city full of history, stunning architecture, world-class attractions and fresh farm-to-table dining to explore and discover.

Wrapped around the 'Inner Harbour' Victoria is the oldest city in the Pacific Northwest which makes it the place to absorb yourself in the history and culture of Canada. Its most impressive and historic buildings, the B.C Parliament and Fairmont Empress face directly towards the water, which only enhances their majesty. Within downtown is Canada's oldest Chinatown, full of authentic restaurants, shops and bakeries and a short water taxi will take you to Fisherman's Wharf, a place where houseboats, fishermen, wildlife tours and fresh seafood collide to make an enthralling destination. Victoria is the ideal location for  watching wildlife as both Humpback whales and Orcas frequent the waters outside the Inner Harbour along with Sea lions and Otters. A favourite with locals and visitors alike, Butchart Gardens is an oasis of calm and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2004 for its one hundredth birthday. From firework displays in the summer to Christmas lights, the gardens is a day-trip worth making at any time of year.
