Fodor's Expert Review Best Western Premier Prestige Oceanfront Resort

This four-story colonial-style hotel opened in 2011 on Sooke’s waterfront as the area’s first full-service complex, complete with a spa, indoor pool, fitness center, restaurant, wine bar, and convention center. Waterfront rooms have sweeping harbor views, and the hotel, with its lofty ceilings, seaside balconies, and sprinkling of palm trees, has a bit of a Mediterranean feel. Room decor ranges from the contemporary look of the Metropolitan floor to the warm colors of the Tropical floor, and the sleek modern feel of the Opulent floor. The spa offers outdoor massages, couples massages, and mud soaks. Staff here can also arrange a raft of outdoor activities.
