The Westin Bear Mountain Victoria Golf Resort & Spa

The Westin Bear Mountain Victoria Golf Resort & Spa offers a distinct advantage for business groups in Victoria, British Columbia’s capital city. Wide-open skies and forested terrain set off conference facilities totaling 6,000 square feet, a golf course codesigned by Jack Nicklaus and his son Steve, a world-class spa, a premier athletic club, and five restaurants that range from fine dining to sushi, pub style, and west coast casual.

The resort lies just 20 minutes from the urban bustle of Victoria’s Inner Harbour, yet its 156 rooms and suites focus on quiet views of rolling fairways backed by Mount Finlayson and Mount Baker. Groups of up to 800 gather for business, banquets, and receptions in the Bear Mountain Ballroom, where floor-to-ceiling windows view the eighteenth green and Mount Baker beyond. While the Goldstream Room and Finlayson Boardroom add space for another 90 participants and 16 delegates respectively, professional catering and conference service teams take care of all details to ensure success and enjoyment for everyone.

Victoria rests on Vancouver Island, which boasts the mildest weather in all of Canada. The warm Pacific climate inspires planners to schedule time for outdoor activities year-round, whether golf tournaments, tennis matches, soccer games, exploring the landscaped parks and pedestrian walkways in the vicinity, the cobblestone streets of old town Victoria—or hiking the many nature trails leading off from the resort. There are no available packages at this time.
