The 19-story hotel, located directly across from the Victoria Conference Centre, is the perfect home to business and leisure travelers and conference attendees alike. A modern west-coast style design is enhanced by natural earth tones and art from local artist, Anne Griffiths, is featured throughout the hotel.
