The Magnolia Hotel And Spa

“The best of independent boutique hotel experiences”

I have been fortunate enough to travel to Victoria seven times since September 2025 (and many more times over the past five years). I stay at the Magnolia every single time, and am always completely satisfied with my stay. The staff and management at the Magnolia represent the best of boutique hotels: competent, flexible and genuinely friendly service. The communication is spectacular. Unlike large chain hotels, with the Magnolia I can quickly speak to a real person by email or telephone. At the Magnolia, they remember your name (sometimes it feels like an old episode of Cheers ... I love that). Manager Savannah arranged for a lovely flower bouquet for my daughter upon learning that she was graduating from UVic. It was so thoughtful and we were very touched. From assistant managers Alphonso and Ben to valets Natalie and Michael everyone really does their best to make my stay comfortable and memorable. The lobby is small but perfectly calm, with an urn of complementary cool drinks in summer or cider in winter, a Nespresso machine and real paper newspapers. The rooms are very quiet. I have terrible insomnia but I have never once been awoken from internal or external noise here. The surrounding streets are quiet and safe. I am a small female and always feel secure walking to and from the hotel by myself in the dark. The bathrooms have the most glorious Salt Spring Soap rhubarb bubble bath and under counter low automatic lighting so you needn't turn on the overhead light in the middle of the night. The hotel has a variety of Offers/Rates that make this hotel a more affordable choice for some who might feel it is outside of their budget, especially during shoulder seasons.

Recently stay here for two nights and absolutely loved this hotel. Check-in was quick, valet parking was excellent, and we were easily able to walk the area without issue. This hotel is beautiful and our double queen room was fabulous with great amenities. We had a family meet-up in the lounge of the hotel one afternoon, enjoying drinks for hours and was treated special. Breakfast was very good as well.

“Beautiful hotel in the heart of Victoria”

This hotel is in the perfect location and walkable to everything in the downtown area. I also enjoy the top notch service from all the staff and the Courtney Room for meals. I would highly recommend this boutique hotel. One of the nicest in Victoria.

“One of the best hotel experiences I've had (and I travel a lot).”

This was my first time staying at this hotel (March 31, April 1, 2026), and also my parents' first time. Absolutely amazing service, amenities, and environment. All the small touches (such as fresh drinks in the lobby, the Nespresso in the rooms as well as the lobby), and all the large touches (we … more

This was my first time staying at this hotel (March 31, April 1, 2026), and also my parents' first time. Absolutely amazing service, amenities, and environment. All the small touches (such as fresh drinks in the lobby, the Nespresso in the rooms as well as the lobby), and all the large touches (we all had gas fireplaces), made this stay very memorable. It was my mom's 80th birthday, and the hotel/staff ensured we were valued. We also loved the breakfast at The Courtney Room (part of the hotel). My dad is usually very picky and doesn't like anything, but even he remarked it was some of the best waffles he's ever had !! Thank you so much to our hostess Ali for treating us with friendly exceptional personal service both mornings. We were also at the hotel with my sister and her husband, who have stayed here several times (it's actually their favorite hotel in Victoria). Bill Lewis (General Manager) communicated so thoroughly with my sister to ensure that our 3 rooms were exactly what we needed and more, thank you so so much. Any time I'm in Victoria, I will definitely stay here. Very close to the harbor, and it's in Victoria downtown, so it's extremely walkable, including to the iconic Chinatown. Rooms were elegant, clean, perfect touches like filtered water in glass jars, Nespresso in rooms, motion-activated bathroom lighting, clean comfortable beds, and more. Extremely walkable (minutes walking to harbor, iconic Chinatown, many restaurants of all types of food). All amenities were great including filtered water in re-usable glass jars, bathroom amenities (including L'Occitane wipes), full strong umbrella, Nespresso, more). Thank you very much!
