The Magnolia Hotel & Spa

The Magnolia Hotel & Spa in Victoria, British Columbia, reflects the city's edge of empire heritage in a modern boutique setting. This AAA four-diamond property features 63 guest rooms, some with gas fireplaces, which combine the classic elegance of crown molding and marble baths with modern walk-in showers, deep soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling views of the city and waterfront. Two-line cordless speakerphones with voicemail and high-speed Internet keep guests in touch with the present. The Spa Magnolia offers a menu of relaxing treatments by Aveda.

Three separate function rooms for groups of up to 60 give meeting planners a choice of venues for business meetings and small corporate events at The Magnolia. Meeting and incentive travelers especially enjoy the world-famous Butchart Gardens, followed by afternoon tea at the historic Empress Hotel overlooking Victoria Harbor.
