About This Home

Situated in the popular Falls Building, Solace in the City serves as a perfect basecamp for all the activities and attractions Victoria has to offer. Well-situated in the very heart of the city, it is only a few minutes' walk from everything you'll want to see during your stay. Aptly named for the mesmerizing waterfalls flowing down its exterior walls and courtyard water features, the Falls Building comes with secured underground parking, elevator access, and FOB entry system. Located on the 3rd floor, the suite is tastefully furnished with modern furniture and all the comforts and practicalities of home. This bright unit features floor-to-ceiling windows in both the living room and bedroom, both overlooking a tranquil treed garden patio area, which includes furniture for outdoor dining. Solace in the City offers a wonderful space to relax and unwind after a day exploring the city, and to wake up in your comfy Queen bed to lushness not expected in a city suite. The unit maintains a comfortable temperature in both summer with A/C and winter. The kitchen is well equipped for all your cooking needs. There is also a desk area, high-speed internet, a 55-inch Smart TV with Netflix access, and a washer and dryer, making it easy to feel at home. Amenities include a fitness gym and hot tub, open year-round, and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool and poolside lounge, with change room shower and outdoor fire pit and lounge area. The pool and hot tub have a water filter system which is tested daily and conforms with the Public Health Act. The Falls Building is highly sought-after for good reason—the best of the city is only a 5-minute walk away. Stroll two blocks down to Victoria's beautiful Inner Harbour and take in the local street entertainment or escape to the water on the quaint harbour ferries or with a world-class whale watching, fishing, or sailing tour. Water enthusiasts can also kayak or paddleboard in this inner harbour and gorge waterway. BC's Legislature buildings and the majestic Fairmont Empress hotel are found here as well, both beautifully lit at night, making for a magical evening along the waterfront. Further along, you will find the hidden treasure, Fisherman's Wharf, with funky shops and food vendors, seafood right off the dock, all amongst moored pleasure vessels and houseboats in the heart of the working harbour. Steps from this harbour area is the world-renowned Royal British Columbia Museum and IMAX Theatre. There are also carriage rides, scenic boat and bus tours that can take you to Butchart Gardens, and Historic Walking Tours, including ghost tours. Still only a short walk away is Beacon Hill Park, known for its lush gardens and resident peacocks, and its spectacular ocean and sunset views. Watch freighters pass by and maybe see a seal or two. For those who like to stay active while away, Beacon Hill Park has a fantastic running and cycling trail along the oceanfront. Another nearby trail is the Galloping Goose Trail, which runs all the way to Sidney. Victoria has a vibrant food scene and there are countless restaurants and cafes to try nearby—you certainly won't have any trouble finding a restaurant. Victoria is the busy, vibrant, and growing capital of British Columbia. Just as in many cities in BC, Canada, and likely other countries in the world, we are experiencing a shortage of housing. In dealing with this situation, there are several new buildings being constructed in the downtown core and elsewhere. There could be some daytime noise but it will not interfere with your time in beautiful Victoria. Construction is ongoing on a building site located next to the Falls building, which may result in some inconvenience caused by building noise during normal working hours. You will receive the important check-in information email and text message with the check-in instructions 7 days before arrival. Check-in starts at 4 pm PST. The garage height is 6'8" (2.03 m). If you have a large vehicle, please ensure that your vehicle will fit the garage height restriction. Unfortunately, this building has no availability in the bike room. We recommend renting bikes while you are here, and many of the bike rental companies will allow them to be stored there at the end of the day even if you rent them for a week.
