Frommer's Review

The three stars are for the newly refurbished Erickson Wing suites featuring stylish, contemporary furnishings, Asian artwork, balconies overlooking a Japanese garden, shoji-style sliding doors, and luxurious marble bathrooms with deep soaker tubs and glassed-in showers. This art-filled, resort-style hotel occupies a prettily landscaped promontory jutting out into the Inner Harbour, and consists of the original north wing and the newer south wing designed by noted Vancouver architect Arthur Erickson in 1989. The overall design reflects the elegant simplicity of Japanese artistic principles and is a refreshing change from the chintz and florals found in so many Victoria hotels. Rooms in the older north wing come with pocket balconies (every room in the hotel has a water view) and nice bathrooms -- but the Erickson Wing is where you want to be.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor pool; free access to YMCA facilities; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day dry cleaning; free Wi-Fi; nonsmoking hotel; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
