Overview

The Helm’s Inn is located in the Beacon Hill Park area of Victoria, British Columbia and is within easy walking distance of such destinations as Inner Harbour, Thunderbird Park, the Royal Museum, the Parliament Buildings, Victoria Harbour Ferry, Craigdarroch Castle, and many other landmarks. The Victoria International Airport is less than 20 miles away, and excellent shops and restaurants are nearby along the waterfront.

The hotel itself is elegant and simple. It provides visitors with parking (for a fee), free Wi-Fi, an array of business and reception services, laundry (for a fee), luggage storage, use of the garden, and 24-hour front desk service.

The home-like rooms in the hotel offer a range of options. There is the Character Room option with a kitchenette and bath, and apartment-like amenities. There are Studio Rooms with king beds, larger kitchens and full, private baths. There are also Studio Rooms with double beds and room for two individuals or couples, as well as kitchenettes. Larger One Bedroom Suites feature living rooms and full kitchens, while the double bed suites offer the same accommodations, but with more room for a larger number of guests.
