The indoor Olympic-sized lap pool and large children’s pool at Hotel Grand Pacific.

Hotel Grand Pacific – This 304-room hotel is traditionally styled, faces Victoria’s Inner Harbor, and offers the best hotel pool in the city. Its indoor Olympic-sized lap pool features massive skylights, a children’s wading pool, sauna, whirlpool, steam room, and large gym with fitness classes. The hotel has three eateries: a sandwich/coffee shop, lounge with light bites, and a restaurant with outdoor patio. All guest rooms feature private balconies, some with harbor or city views. The hotel’s Signature category rooms and suites have recently been renovated and have a fresh look with soft greys and pastel accents. Complimentary seasonal bicycles available.
