Planning on visiting British Columbia’s capital soon?
Victoria, BC is a great place for your next family vacation. It’s safe, has many restaurant options and the weather is mild all year long.
One requirement for my family when we travel is a pool. My kids love spending time at hotel pools, especially after long days of exploring a city.
There are several great hotels with pools in Victoria. Please note that most hotels are following a reservation system for their pools during COVID. It’s best to call ahead to see how the hotel you choose is scheduling their pool times.

Wow these hotels look beautiful! Saving this for if we ever get to explore more of beautiful Victoria 😍
The Marriott is beautiful! And the Empress for tea too!
I have never been there before. Those hotels look like amazing places to stay while on vacation!
Love visiting Victoria and staying right downtown near the water! I’ve done the afternoon tea at the Empress but haven’t stayed there yet. Soon I hope!
Nice article. I bet all these hotels are great to stay to and the amenities or pools are so enticing.
Wow, all those places look amazing. I always look for a pool when I am looking for a hotel too. It’s nice to have that when staying at a hotel.
I always select my hotel based on the pool. These hotels all have nice pool areas.
These hotels are STUNNING! I have always wanted to visit BC.
We stayed at the Coast Victoria Hotel when we visited last year. (I have a video on my YouTube channel with a tour.) They have a pool too, but we didn’t use it at the time. All the covid stuff started happening *literally* while we were there, so I’m sure the hotels have had more time now to think about appropriate precautions and safety measures. Can’t wait to come back when “non-essential” travel is back in the cards for us!
