Swans: Victoria Hotel With History And Style

By Michelle Whitley

Swans, a Victoria BC hotel, is the perfect spot for a getaway. Its suites cater to every type of guest, from corporate travelers to families with children. Ideally located in Victoria's downtown core, Swans is seconds away from exciting shopping, attractions and the beautiful Inner Harbour.

Built in 1913, this Victoria hotel still holds the charm of the original building. The high ceilings are accentuated by open beams and skylights, and guests can view the historic waterfront from balconies or terraces. Each suite contains a fully-equipped kitchen and is tastefully decorated-- blending together new and old-world styles. If you don't feel like cooking on your vacation, the Wild Saffron Bistro and Swans Brewpub, both located downstairs, can take care of that for you.

Swans is the Victoria BC hotel that is not only well known for its beautiful flowers, but for its expansive artwork collection as well. The interior is decorated with over 1600 paintings, sculptures, antiques and furniture. The unique appointments of each suite are not only lovely to look at, but also work to create an comfortable and cozy atmosphere.

Want to extend your stay? It's no problem with Swans' great extended-stay rates. Whether you want to stay for a week, a month, or more, it's easy to call this Victoria hotel "home". Enjoy perks such as free daily local newspaper delivery to your door, a complimentary DVD/movie library, coin-operated laundry and extended-stay housekeeping services. As well, long-term guests take pleasure in a complimentary, monthy continental breakfast as well as a three-course meal at the Wild Saffron Bistro.

For a luxurious Victoria hotel experience, try out Swans' Penthouse Suite, which was the winner of Canadian Event Perspective Magazine's 2005 award for "Best Intimate Space". It's the perfect space for cocktail parties, business conferences, or wedding receptions. The Penthouse possesses 3000 square feet of bliss, including six balconies and a large rooftop patio with amazing view of the city and beyond.

Whether you plan on staying for a night or twelve, Swans is the Victoria BC hotel that you will be delighted to call your "home away from home". - 39815
