# Victoria hotels for families Written 2026-10-04 by Play Day. Eight Victoria, BC hotels for a trip with kids: two-bedroom suites, full kitchens, indoor pools, a waterslide and a wading pool, with what each room has. For a family that needs a second bedroom, Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites has two-bedroom suites with a small kitchen and an indoor pool, and Best Western Plus Inner Harbour has penthouses with full kitchens and a free breakfast buffet. Inn at Laurel Point and Fairmont Empress have the indoor pools on the harbour, and Hotel Zed has the waterslide. Victoria is small, and most of these hotels sit around the Inner Harbour, so the choice comes down to the room. A standard double is tight with kids, and a suite with a kitchen changes the whole trip. ## How we picked We started with the Victoria hotels that have real family facts in Play Day and checked each one against its own pages. ## Suites and kitchens For a longer stay, or any trip where the kids need a door to close at bedtime and you'd like to make your own breakfast. ### [Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites](https://ourplayday.com/places/chateau-victoria-hotel-and-suites-victoria) Area: Downtown Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites has two-bedroom suites, kitchens in its suites, a skylit indoor pool and a coin laundry.
