I hadn't been in years, but went for dinner tonight to celebrate a friend's birthday. The building is absolutely lovely. The staff were helpful and welcoming from door to table. The dining room service was absolutely excellent. The dinner was delicious. The food was better than I remember. I had the Ceasar salad and for an entree, the salmon, both excellent. The bathrooms are clean and well provisioned. The place is steeped in the elegant history of a bygone era and worth a visit just to stare up at the carved wood paneling and gorgeous vintage glass.
Took a tour as we are considering joining the club. Our tour guide, Danielle, was friendly while being very informative and helpful. An impressive landmark, with rich heritage... truly beautiful building. Amenities were nice, and the location is amazing. Non members can book rooms here, might be a unique place to stay on your next visit to Victoria.
The Union Club is a century old plus property steeped in British history and tradition. It is actually a private club that offers hotel accommodations. Dare I say, it is something an old boys club with archaic dress codes, and on some evenings men only in the lounge. It does have some great character, history and architecture on the main level, however the room we stayed was disappointing. To put it bluntly the property looks a bit tired, and we were surprised that some basic amenities were absent the room. I’ve stayed in other century old properties, however they’ve managed to modernize without losing charm and character. The pictures on their website made our room seem larger than it was, ours was very small with no a/c and an awful bathroom. The bathroom had no exhaust fan to vent shower steam requiring guests to open the old windows a crack, not too much as you would provide other guests a show. Paint was peeling in spots on the bathroom walls likely due to moisture and some patches were painted with a noticeable difference in colour. The soaps and shampoos provided were motel quality, and the shower stall annoyingly didn’t have a simple shelf to place soap and shampoos, which required opening and closing the shower door to retrieve them while showering. This may sound like nit picking however it results in a wet and slippery bathroom floor. The mattress seemed old as it offered little support as one sinks into it, unless super soft is to your liking. There is no on-site parking which requires guests park their car a couple of blocks away in a parkade, fortunately everything is within walking distance so there is little need to access your car unless leaving the downtown core. On the bright side the breakfast offered in the downstairs dining room was excellent as was the service. We did not have dinner as we decided to dine at nearby restaurants, all within a few minutes walk of the Inn. There is no room service offered, however they will allow you to come downstairs to grab a meal and bring it back to your room. They do have a quaint rooftop terrace where you can view the harbour and enjoy the ocean breeze with a drink and company. Maybe the larger rooms with sitting area are better, unfortunately none were available for our booking. I will add it is a quiet night stay. It is certainly a property connected to the history of Victoria, and I’m sure if the walls could talk it would have some wonderful stories to tell. If you want a property filled with history, some great artwork on its walls, and you are willing to forgo some convenience of a more updated property, then you will likely enjoy it. Nearby activities: The famous Fairmont Empress hotel is directly across the street if you want to experience their afternoon tea in all its British tradition with delicious finger sandwiches, scones with strawberry preserves and cream, and amazing pastries, I highly recommend it, advance reservations are required. Walkability: The Inn is conveniently next to the harbour, nearby shopping, and restaurants all in walking distance.
They have a lot more capabilities in hidden control and influence over people's lives than they would ever allow to be revealed. I won't forgive and I won't forget, I may not be able to prove anything but I will always always suspect and I will always be watching you.Rooms: 1/5
I went here for a work christmas party and nearly every part of the whole experience was amazing. Truly some of the best food I've had. BUT to be fully honest, the beef was not good at all. So chewy that if you went to take a bite of your beautiful sandwich that you just assembled, you wouldn't be able to pull away and you'd be stuck gnawing until something gives.
Not a member of this place but I was assisting in an event that was held in their Begbie Lounge. The venue was a success with thanks from their superbly courteous staff. Being a very old fashioned building, there are elevators but no wheelchair lifts or ramps to get to certain areas but the staff were nice to help lift one of the wheelchair guests up and down the stairs in a pinch. For the same reason of old-fashioned, there are no gender neutral washroom facilities. Aside from those structural hiccups, it's a marvel to see the interior architecture and the adorned wall paintings. The food was out of this world. I didn't get to chow as much as I would have liked since I worked as reception for almost the entire venue but for the little moments I snuck out for a quick bite, it was well worth it. One of the staff was even sweet enough to fetch macarons for me when I couldn't leave my post Definitely would consider their membership down the road but for now too rich for my blood. I was very lucky to enjoyed the experience even if short-lived for one beautiful evening.
Beautiful old world charm right in the heart of downtown. Especially love the rooftop deck and views.
A quiet retreat to read, have a meal and relax. Parking is limited, and the local public parking is extremely expensive. Food & drinks: Excellent food and service.
Old world comfort. Good wine list. Very friendly service staff. Casual but tasty food.
I love places like this... they capture a historic moment of time with its architecture, woodworking, library, reading room, games room, art and restaurant. Elegant style and right proper service without the pretentious attitude. And the food was exquisite!
