This elegant hotel strikes a perfect balance of luxury and coziness. Nestled in a waterfront city the 1930s Tudor mansion feels like an escape to another time, with all the amenities of modern day.

TripAdvisor revealed its Travellers' Choice Awards, breaking down the "Best of the Best Hotels" from around the world. In the ranking on the Top Hotels in Canada Abigail's Hotel in Victoria came in first place.

It's not your typical fancy stay. It has a charm that is uniquely appealing, and being set in the picturesque Inner Harbour of Victoria makes it that much better.

There are only 30 rooms here, making a getaway feel more intimate and relaxed.

The customer service here is unmatched, and they even give you freshly baked cookies when you arrive. The quaint hotel is also known for it's three-course breakfasts, and beautiful library that adds to the whole vibe.

While the hotel feels like it's preserved in time, with it's European furnishings, antiques decorating the rooms, and beautiful stained glass — it also manages to feel fresh and comfortable.

The hotel is adults only, making this the ideal spot for a romantic getaway to Vancouver Island. While Victoria is the perfect city for exploring, you'll likely want to stay cozied up in the beautiful hotel the whole time.
