The 126-room, all-suite Parkside Hotel & Spa is a super chic and sustainable upscale property with a full-service spa, gym, bar and cafe, small private movie theater, rooftop garden, and lobby atrium with greenery and a pond. The hotel's modern multi-room suites feel like private apartments and include fully equipped kitchenettes, sitting areas with electric fireplaces, and furnished balconies. The hotel is situated at the southern edge of downtown Victoria, so it's within walking distance to downtown and the inner harbor. Its biggest drawbacks? No air-conditioning and a charge for breakfast. Guests looking for air-conditioning and a harbor view may want to consider the Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort & Spa, though it tends to be a bit pricier.

Inn at Laurel Point is an upscale property with impressive green features and a picturesque setting on a peninsula near the entrance to Victoria’s Inner Harbour. It's a good choice for both tourists and business travelers, as it's within a 10- to 15-minute walk of downtown Victoria and the Victoria Conference Center. It's also the first and only carbon-neutral hotel in British Columbia, and features a restaurant serving only ethically harvested and local seafood. The 200 rooms are divided into two wings, one more high-end than the other, but all have balconies, some with beautiful harbor views. Features include a glass-enclosed indoor pool and a sundeck in a pretty Japanese garden. Decor throughout the property could use an update, however, and breakfast isn't included in rates. The Parkside Hotel & Spa has a more modern style, but a busier location.

Occupying a 1930s Tudor revival-style mansion, Abigail's Hotel is a small, mid-range heritage inn decorated in a rustic, romantic style that makes it an attractive alternative to generic chain hotels. The 23 rooms were renovated in 2014 and come equipped with luxurious amenities such as flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, fireplaces, and whirlpool baths. A three-course breakfast is included in the room rates, as are evening appetizers. Parking and Wi-Fi are also free. However, the hotel has a strict adults-only policy, with only children above the age of 13 allowed to stay.

The 103-room, mid-range Best Western Plus Carlton Plaza Hotel is exceptionally well-located in downtown Victoria. This clean property is just a two-minute walk from City Hall and less than a 15-minute walk to the Inner Harbor. It's an excellent price for the location, though the decor is somewhat generic, chain-hotel fare. Rooms are clean and comfortable, though, with mini-fridges, Keurig coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs. The hotel has a full-service restaurant on-site, a drab but functional fitness center, and a 24-hour front desk. Closer to the Inner Harbor, the mid-range Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites offers more elegant decor and an indoor pool, though is pricier than the Best Western.

The four-and-a-half-pearl Oak Bay Beach Hotel offers luxurious accommodations and a spectacular oceanfront setting, though some may find its traditional decor dated and a tad stuffy. But there's a lot to like about this hotel, with an impressive lineup of amenities including gourmet dining, a classic British pub, an on-site theater, and a heated outdoor pool and mineral baths. There's also a full-service spa with a steam room and fitness center, but it’s small and sparsely equipped. The hotel's 100 guest rooms are elegant and spacious, and many have panoramic bay views from private balconies or patios. Marble bathrooms are a highlight, with heated floors and separate soaking tubs. Travelers looking for an upscale property that's closer to downtown Victoria can check out Inn at Laurel Point.
