Old-world charm abounds in this Canadian capital
By Amanda Brynn, Director Member Services
is summer, visit our neighbors to
the north at the Union Club of British
Columbia. Founded in 1879, the Union
Club resides in the heart of downtown
Victoria. With a mild climate and com-
pact core, Victoria is a walker's paradise,
according to Walk Score.
Use the Union Club's central location
as a jumping-off point to visit the nearby
Inner Harbor, museums and theaters,
and the iconic Fairmont Empress, where
you can indulge in high tea and stroll the
grounds. Whatever you do, leave your
car at home. e capital city of British
Columbia offers plentiful transit—from
carriage rides to harbor taxis—and de-
livers beauty around every corner.
When it's time to rest, retire to your
room at the Inn at the Union Club. e
century-old hotel is an oasis of privacy
and privilege, combining Old World flair
with modern amenities. Once refreshed,
grab a meal at the McGregor Lounge
or check out the club's rooop terrace.
Want to see more of the city? You'll find
Chinatown, the Royal BC Museum, and
the Emily Carr House all less than a mile
away. Happy walking!
