The Oriental Treehouse Loft

Experience the charm and elegance of Old Town Victoria in The Oriental, a restored 19th century Victorian hotel. Our quirky loft blends original features such as the high ceilings and exposed brickwork with cozy, colourful furnishings, and a stunning wall print. Relax on our plush cloud sofa with a martini and cheese board or take a stroll downtown or around the water’s edge of the newly renovated harbour. Whether seeking culture, cuisine, or comfort - you’ll find it here!
The loft does not have its own parking stall

Parking:
$17/day: Bastion Square Parkade across the street @ 575 Yates St (free evenings after 8 pm - 8 am and all day Sundays)
$4/hour: all meters 8 am-8 pm Monday - Saturday (free during evenings)

-Due to limited space the ceiling in the upstairs loft is height restricted. You cannot stand fully upright in the loft bedroom. I am sorry I do wish I could add 2 feet.
-Please note access to the loft bed is through a set of stairs with a very awkward height. Very tall, elderly and small child are not be the idle candidates for this space
