From the Inner Harbor head north three blocks on Government Street. Located opposite the Eaton's Centre. Description: Retreating to the Bedford Regency Hotel after a busy day is a bit like reaching an oasis after a long trek in the desert. The Bedford, "Victoria's elegant small hotel" is the solution to accommodation woes for those who don't favor the impersonality of a standard large hotel and who enjoy the privacy afforded by a small inn. At night, with its windowsill planters and soft lighting, one could mistake the Bedford for a Parisian hideaway. The hotel’s 40 rooms are not your typical boxy fare. Charming and quaint like the hotel itself, these suites offer tasteful furnishings and European adornment. Superior rooms come with wood-burning fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs. Complimentary coffee and tea as well as morning newspaper can be delivered to rooms. For a special treat, guests can add an affordable 'Romance Package' to the cost of their stay: a fresh bouquet of flowers, delectable chocolates, and a bottle of the bubbly stuff. The Bedford offers a choice of banquet and meeting areas and guests have access to the Internet from designated rooms as well as the lobby. The final touches are being added to the colorful Belingo Lounge now open on the mezzanine level. The lounge is open to serve the breakfast crowd; live entertainment is featured nightly. The Bedford's own Garrick's Head Pub fronts onto historic Bastion Square, so named for the watchtowers that once protected Fort Victoria, a primary Hudson's Bay Company trading post in the 1840s. With its wood plank floors and additive-free local beer the pub is a casual place to catch a relaxed lunch or dinner--cozy by the fireplace in winter, enjoy the patio when the sun shines. Hotel staff offer sightseeing suggestions; a tour operator and currency exchange are conveniently located in the lobby. The Bedford Regency is situated on one of the most popular streets in Victoria, close to renowned Munro's Books and within walking distance to all major attractions.
