Although once referred to as a “little bit of old England,” Victoria, British Columbia has long been one of the country’s most exciting and attractive cities. Aside from its mild Mediterranean climate and superb natural setting that are the envy of most Canadians – especially in February during our flower count! – Victoria has a vibrant cultural life, great shopping, more than 700 restaurants, and a lively after-hours scene.

The Union Club is snugly tucked within Victoria’s compact, pedestrian-friendly historic downtown core, and our guests are just steps away from an array of attractions, including the world famous Royal BC Museum, handsome art galleries, a lively fisherman’s wharf, the country’s oldest Chinatown, several first-rate brewpubs, and many one-of-a-kind shops such as renowned Rogers’ Chocolates. Whale watchers in their yellow survival suits are a common sight near the Inner Harbour. And most visitors can’t resist the Butchart Gardens, whose 50 acres of unique floral extravagance makes it the province’s most popular tourist destination.
