The Club
- We visited the Union Club for a lovely dinner yesterday and really enjoyed it. The club is located in the heart of Victoria's inner harbor, just across the street from the Empress Hotel in an elegant old building. Food quality was great, and the warm ambiance dining in the McGregor lounge next to the fireplace surrounded by wood-paneled walls and beautiful art was perfect. Adjoining the dining room is a gorgeous classic bar that made me wish we had skipped our pre-dinner drink at the Empress lounge (noisy, overpriced, and underwhelming) in favor of. The club also has a beautiful reading room in which to relax and enjoy a coffee or tea, and the real gem: the cozy Past Presidents' Library, where you'll want to ensconse yourself in a leather wingback chair by the fire with one of the hundreds of books and hole up for the day. We haven't stayed in the rooms here, but would definitely give it a try on a future visit. Highly recommended. Note: There seems to be an issue with our club's letters of introduction not coming through. We sent ours three times and they never did get it. Recommend printing out or screen-shotting a copy to bring with you, as they won't let you in without it.
- Posted on 11/13/2019 - When planning my trip to Victoria, I was fortunate enough to come across the Union Club in the club's directory. What a hidden gem it is! Bottom line up front: My room was clean, spacious and had a delightfully plush bed. The tall, bright windows actually opened to let in the breeze. The bathroom was modern, spotless and had terrific water pressure. It was quiet! I slept like a baby. The shower was perfect in all respects. Amazing staff and delicious breakfast (part of the room rate)! The location was a dream -- just steps from the City's inner harbor wharf and adjacent to the Empress Hotel. This historic landmark is the epitome of gracious living. Stuffy and rule-bound? Not a bit! The staff is there to serve guests any way they can, and everyone went out of their way to make me feel welcome and right at home. Jonathan, the supervisor on staff during my visit, welcomed me with a wonderful email the moment my reservation hit his system -- two weeks before my trip. No coincidence, he proved to be incredibly warm and supportive during my every interaction with him. He is simply SUPERB and will help you to get the most out of your visit! By way of just a few examples: He offered restaurant recommendations that were terrific when I asked, provided me currency exchange when in need and held my bags for me after check-out, while I explored more of the City. What a delight to awaken and know that a delicious breakfast awaited me in the dining room on the main floor. That space was at once warm and inviting but also very grand. In the afternoons, I lazed about in the reading room enjoying the wide variety of interesting subscription publications offered, with a cup of coffee from the complementary coffee/tea service in the lobby. The most remarkable thing to wrap my head around is that the Clubhouse was built barely 60 years after the "founding" of Victoria as a colony by the Hudson Bay Company. There is little doubt that it has seen its share of history. I didn't want to leave and hope to return very soon. Just wonderful! - D. Pugliese
- My husband and I just returned from visiting the club in Victoria, BC. It was a memorial experience for our 29th wedding anniversary. The front desk people were extremely helpful and the we thoroughly enjoyed breakfast and our server Mike. The club is beautiful and the accommodations were much more than we expected. The location was perfect down where the ferry docked, right next door to the Fairmont Empress Hotel. We would definitely stay there again!
- What a great club! Great location Beautiful Club. Friendly, professional staff. Friendly members. Will go agan.
