How to get from Downtown Victoria to Magnolia Hotel & Spa?

2 min read Updated

Magnolia Hotel and Spa is at 623 Courtney Street, in the downtown core a short way from the Inner Harbour. From most downtown spots it is an easy walk, and a taxi ride is only a few minutes.

On foot from the Inner Harbour

Courtney Street runs through the middle of downtown, close to the harbour and the main shopping streets. Set a map app to walking directions with the hotel address and it will give you the exact route from where you are standing. The terrain is flat and the blocks are short, so luggage is manageable if the trip is only a few blocks.

Bus routes in the downtown area

BC Transit buses run through downtown Victoria and several stops sit within a short walk of Courtney Street. Which routes you want depends on where you start, and route numbers and stops are revised from time to time. The BC Transit trip planner, entered with your start point and the hotel address, shows the current choice and the closest stop.

Driving, parking and taxis

Downtown streets near the hotel are busy on weekdays and during events, and many are one way. A live map will guide the final turns better than a fixed set of directions. Street parking in the area is paid and posted, so read the signs for time limits and hours.

For parking at the hotel itself, details and rates should be confirmed directly. The hotel lists a toll free number, 1 877 624 6654, and its website has a contact and directions page. Calling ahead is the simplest way to learn what is on offer for your dates.

If you would rather skip parking altogether, a taxi can drop you at the door. See the Victoria taxi page for booking, or try the Uber calculator to compare a ride with other options.

Arriving from the ferry

Visitors from Vancouver usually take BC Ferries to Swartz Bay and then travel into the city. The BC Ferries website lists current sailings and reservation options, and a taxi from the terminal to downtown is a simple choice if you have bags.
