A flat-screen cable TV is provided in each uniquely decorated room at Abigail’s Hotel. Italian marble and antique features, such as a claw-foot bathtub, are offered in the bathroom. Select rooms offer a spa bath. Rooms can only be accessed via stairs. We loved the breakfast. Since it was reserved, we were able to enjoy a peaceful breakfast and the food on the menu was delicious. We appreciated the snack time and 24h coffee/tea station.

Nestled on the shores of the Salish Sea near Victoria, British Columbia, the Oak Bay Beach Hotel offers an unforgettable oceanfront retreat. Recently named 2025 #1 Hotel in Western Canada by Condé Nast Traveler, our boutique hotel blends timeless elegance with modern comfort for a truly luxurious stay.

We received a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine for our 20th anniversary, which was much appreciated. Staff were always friendly and professional. I highly recommend Oak Bay Beach Hotel. Thank you!
