the Magnolia is a modern boutique through and through. With sixty-four rooms it’s kept to a personable scale, and the service is pure West Coast charm.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Two blocks from the Inner Harbour, Courtney Street steps straight out to government landmarks, downtown boutiques, and historic Chinatown.
The rooms
Pearl and smoke tones frame dark mahogany furnishings and marble bathrooms with deep soaker tubs, while corner rooms overlook the Parliament Buildings.
The spa
Seven treatment rooms host organic facials and body wraps, with hydrotherapy soaking tubs for deep recovery.
The gym and sauna
A dry sauna sits beside the 24-hour fitness room, which is stocked with cardio machines and free weights.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Courtney Room
Local Vancouver Island produce shapes the Pacific Northwest menu, and the marble bar pours regional British Columbia wines.
Inside the boutique hotel, the design is distinctive, mixing traditional furnishings with more contemporary touches — in keeping with Victoria’s historic past...
