Victoria Hotels for Romantic Getaways

Victoria is all about romance. Blessed with the mildest climate in Canada and the most annual sunshine in British Columbia, the "Garden City" is in bloom for most of the year.

Victoria hotels are also full of romance and charm, such as the Misty Meadows B&B & Norwegian Fjord Horses Bed and Breakfast. Located on an active Norwegian Fjord horse farm and surrounded by rural forested grounds, this is the perfect escape for couples. Another option is The Gazebo Bed and Breakfast; a country manor house a few yards away from world-famous Butchart Gardens. To put you close to the great harbor views and the Clipper, Victoria Express and Port Angeles Ferries, the ocean, stay at The Albion Manor Bed & Breakfast. Youre also a few yards away from all the great attractions in Victoria when you stay at the Albion.
