Hotel Grand Pacific

We spent a long time deciding between this hotel and the other well known one in Victoria. Ultimately we settled on this hotel having read the reviews about space. We paid for Signature Harbour View 1 bedroom Suite. It had two separated areas - one for living and one for sleeping. It had a dual aspect window overlooking the harbour and a side balcony. It was harbour facing but situated on the side, which considering we went for one of the more costly rooms, I was a little disappointed with as the view was restricted. The room itself was very dated. The carpets require significant cleaning. The door had areas painted in a different colour paint and the attention to details such as wonky light shades was disappointing. The breakfast in the Fathom restaurant was delicious. Really cannot recommend the granola enough!

Took a quick trip to Victoria BC from Seattle and we took the Clipper Ferry. This was very convenient walk from the ferry and close to everything downtown. We took the horse carriage short tour that is parked about a block from hotel, learned a lot and it was a beautiful ride. Hotel was clean and everything we needed in the room. Great beds, even had a small patio porch in our room. We were only there for a night but I highly recommend if you don’t have a car and would like to see the area. Restaurant next door at a small hotel was fantastic and budget friendly.

This is an excellent hotel, well situated right on the waterfront with a great view of James Bay. It is within easy walking distance of attractions such as Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown. The hotel restaurant, Fathom, offers a fantastic choice of breakfast dishes and has a superb dinner menu. The staff are solicitous and knowledgeable. The hotel is making a strong effort to help the environment through its tree-planting programme for days when guests reuse their linens. The toiletries are among the best I have encountered, and they are placed where people under 5'3" can reach them! I recommend booking a room with a harbour view if possible.

The Grand Pacific is an elegant looking hotel, very well situated on Victoria's inner harbour, next to the Legislature. At this time of year, it is relatively affordable, and has great facilities. The room was very comfortable and quiet, though the furniture is somewhat dated. It had a private balcony and a stellar view as well. Sleep quality was really good. The pool and hot tub is part of the Victoria Athletics Club, and is top notch. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Our second stay here before new years (was last here in summer in a 1 BR suite) in a renovated 2Queen bed Victoria room redeemed through iprefer program (great loyalty program to sign up for!). Super friendly staff Irfan at check in and Michael at the superb Fathom restaurant, and health club/pool staff. If you want a grand hotel experience with all the amenities, look no further. It was also awesome that they had over 30 intricately designed gingerbread houses for a charity contest in the lobby. Check it out! We parked on the street. The pool and hot tub were great. We got the $25 adult breakfast voucher at check in (you save on a beverage but don’t forget to tip on top of the total!); the kids breakfast is $14 and always amazing. Love the mushroom Benedict. The room was super comfortable and clean but our room was just above the pool so there was a chlorine smell but I didn’t notice it after the first minute. Few hotels have actual opening balconies with doors or windows so it’s great to be able to get fresh air. Nothing else I could ask for! Don’t hesitate to book!
