Springing Forward: Renewing Your Body and Mind in Victoria
Springing Forward: Renewing Your Body and Mind in Victoria
As the crisp winter air softens and the first hints of cherry blossoms begin to grace our city streets, a gentle energy of renewal settles over Victoria. At The Parkside Hotel & Spa, we believe spring is the perfect season to refresh your routines, lighten your spirit, and embrace the outdoors. Whether you are a Vancouver Island local seeking a restorative staycation or a traveler discovering our coastal charm for the first time, there is a unique sense of wellness to be found in the city’s early spring bloom.
A Season for Discovery and Play
Spring break is an invitation to slow down and reconnect through the simple joy of discovery. Imagine your little explorers’ delight as they step into their suite to find a private indoor campsite. Our kids’ tent add-on, complete with twinkling lights, turns an evening into a magical getaway. Then, when the morning sun hits the atrium, grab a set of complimentary bikes, available in sizes for the whole family, and let the city be your playground.
With a ‘Happy Trails’ Map (or two!) in hand, your path is for you to create. You might spend the day uncovering hidden treasures with our Thrift Guide, or perhaps follow the Family Fun Map for unexpected adventures. For those traveling with four-legged friends, our Dog Friendly guides ensure no one is left behind on the adventure. Your stay is about more than just sightseeing; it is about the stories you build together between the historic landmarks and the shore.
A Breath of Fresh Air
For those seeking mindful movement, our mobile RunGo Routes offer pre-mapped, guided scenic paths that lead you through the heart of downtown and along the beautiful waterfront. If you prefer an out-of-city adventure, use our Sierra Club Maps to explore the regions’ old growth forests and lively ecosystems.
A Sustainable Renewal
True wellness includes caring for the environment that restores us. During your stay, you can tread lightly by choosing our Go Green Rate, exploring the city by foot, or by visiting the carbon-neutral Parkside Spa for a restorative treatment. After a day of exploration, there is no better way to unwind than Rooftop Roasting, gathering around the fire to share stories and s'mores in the crisp evening air.
This March, we invite you to spring forward with us. Book your stay and discover why Victoria is the ultimate destination for a seasonal reset.
