Notice

Please note that over the conference dates, the Inn at Laurel Point will be undergoing a renewal project to transform the hotel’s entrance, arrival experience and lobby, as well as updating AURA waterfront restaurant + patio and event space.  Also, during your stay, Transport Canada and City of Victoria will be conducting a significant soil remediation and rejuvenation of the neighbouring park and harbour pathways. 

Work began in October 2018 and the Inn anticipates a full renewal of their lobby by spring 2019.  With that said, some amenities will be limited and AURA waterfront restaurant will be closed.

What to expect:

• The hotel entrance will be relocated to the top of the driveway, which is clearly marked
• Construction will take place weekdays during business hours 8:00am - 5:00pm
• Secure underground parking will be available, and as always, valet service will be offered at no additional charge
• UPDATE FEB 19th: Our kitchen will be closed and therefore there are no food and beverage offerings available at the hotel. The guestrooms do offer coffee and tea and the front desk are happy to provide a list of close by dining options to guests.
• Our pool and fitness room will remain open
