The YukonHome/Where to stay/Victoria/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Victoria
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Victoria, from the Inner Harbour to Saanich Inlet, all rated between 4.4 and 4.7 out of 5 by guests. It is for travellers who want a central base, a spa stay or a quiet inn, and who care more about location and facilities than about formality.
Staying in Victoria
Victoria rewards walking. The Inner Harbour holds the Parliament Buildings and the Royal BC Museum, and Government Street and Chinatown are close by, so a short break can be spent almost entirely on foot. The climate is mild, which keeps whale watching, cycling and kayaking on the table through much of the year.
The hotels here cluster in two bands. Most sit in or beside Downtown and the Inner Harbour: on Gordon Street, Humboldt Street, Wharf Street, Burdett Avenue, Pandora Avenue, Menzies Street and Government Street, between 0.3 km and 1.5 km from the centre. Two lie well out, on Harbour Road at 26.6 km and at Seaport Place in Sidney at 24.5 km. Couples gravitate to the spa and pool hotels, families to the suites with kitchens and family rooms, and business travellers to the downtown addresses with business centres and parking; walkers should look at the 0.3 km to 0.8 km group.
