Fall at The Parkside Hotel & Spa: The Comfort of a Cozy Stay

With colourful leaves reflecting through our windows, hot apple cider filling mugs at Tre Fantastico, and crisp air rushing through our lobby, it's no secret that fall is in full swing at The Parkside Hotel & Spa. 

As the calendar flips from September to October, we are slowing down and welcoming guests in with comfort, warmth, and moments of calm. Whether you are looking to unwind for the weekend, or just for a simple change of scenery, we have mastered the art of creating a cozy stay at The Parkside. Read on to discover how you can thrive in reflecting and relaxing during your next fall getaway. 

Making Yourself at Home 

What makes it so easy to slow down at the Parkside? Whether you're relaxing in a guest room, enjoying one of our amenities, or simply taking a second to pause in a shared space, our property is designed to make you feel like you're genuinely right at home. 

Inside our guest rooms, it's the little things that make you feel seen. Each room is stocked with everything you need to make your favourite comfort foods, a fireplace perfect for cozying up on crisp fall evenings, and a private balcony made for slow morning coffee sips and golden sunset views in the evening.  

Think of our suites as a natural home away from home – a comfy place where you can settle in, unwind, and make the most of Fall. 

Sharing Space, Memories, and Moments of Connection

At the Parkside, our shared spaces offer a welcoming environment to connect with others while taking a break from the pace of everyday life. 

Our Atrium serves as a welcoming 'living room' in our local community. Bathed in sunlight from its many windows, and framed with scenic views of fall foliage, guests and locals come here to curl up with a book, catch up with friends, or enjoy a comforting treat from Tre Fantastico.  

Our rooftop patio is another guest favourite for fostering those moments of connection; it's the perfect spot to nestle around a firepit, reflect on memories with friends and family, and even make new ones while stargazing or roasting a marshmallow. 

Slowing Down at the Spa

When life starts to feel busy, self-care is often the first thing we neglect. At the Parkside, we see self-care as the backbone of creating a relaxing getaway. The Parkside Spa is dedicated to the creation of slow experiences that restore your balance and help you embrace the comfort brought in by the fall. 

The perfect way to invite self-care into this season is by adding a massage, facial, or restorative treatment from our spa. Cool down in our tranquil pool, perhaps even with a Floating Sound Bath, and warm up afterwards with a dip in the hot tub. There is never a rush at The Parkside Spa – the only place you need to be is with yourself and in the moment. 

Disconnect with the Analog Escape Package

One thing we could all use is a break from our devices. Emails, text messages, social media notifications – they never seem to end. When you're connected to an endless stream of data, it can feel impossible to relax. That's why at the Parkside, we are all in favour of going analog this fall: intentionally stepping away from screens, making time for hobbies, and experiencing life fully offline.  

Our new Analog Escape package encourages you to slow down, explore Victoria a little bit differently, and get a well-deserved break from the buzz of the internet. This package is all about making time for the things we don't always prioritize at home. We invite our guests to swap their devices for books, put pen to paper, and wander somewhere new this fall. 

After you've enjoyed a full day of reading and wandering, you can unwind back in your suite with Silk Road bath salts and a cozy cup of tea. And what better way to end the day than with a fresh Prima Strada pizza baked right in your oven? A mindful day complete with a relaxing evening – the perfect way to reset, recharge and ease into the fall and winter seasons. 

Give Yourself Permission to Pause 

As the seasons change, there is something special about allowing yourself to pause. Whether that be with a book, over coffee with a loved one, or taking the time for some neglected self-care, The Parkside Hotel & Spa is here to facilitate those moments of calm and make space for the serene energy of the fall and winter.  

This autumn, we invite you to slow down with us, celebrate the season, and give yourself the mental reset that you deserve.
