The resort is about a 20 minute drive from downtown Victoria, depending on traffic/ time of day. The setting is gorgeous, with the resort nestled amongst mountains, forests and the golf course. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite that was quite large. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials, but if you will be needing specific items such as measuring... More

My husband, 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son stayed at the Bear Mountain for a cousins wedding in November. From start to finsh, the service was excellent. I was staying in a suite because of the kids, and had a king sized bed, large bedroom, huge bathroom with shower and soaker tub, separate living room, and a... More

I had a gift of a spa treatment and while I was having my pedicure the young girls doing the work gossiped with each other rather than paying attention to their clients. This is a constant problem with checkout girls at the supermarkets but I did not expect it at an expensive spa. My recommendation to the hotel would be... More

Christmas is a slow time of year and this past one was no exception. Secondary hotel, Westin Fairways, offers accomodation for pets, which is where our room originally was in. We asked for an upgrade and got a one bedroom suite in the main hotel overlooking the entrance. Easily 700 sq ft, our room featured two bathrooms, a deep soaker... More

In a SPG promotion, I "earned" two nights at any SPG resort that needed to be used by December 21st. By the time I realized it, my first resort 5 choices were sold out.... Serves me right for waiting until last minute. The Westin Bear Mountain was available.... Short of walking around downtown Victoria one afternoon on a cruise, I... More

Following a lovely Christmas staff party held at the hotel, we retired to a room initially booked to prevent the need to drive. After experiencing our beautiful suite, the luxurious Heavenly bed and amazing views looking over the golf course and mountain, we recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Victoria area, or to locals just wanting a special night...

This Whistler-esque hideaway at the top of an unsuspecting road was a spectacular place to stay for my graduation at Royal Roads University. The room was spectacular, and we had a view of the golf course to boot. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this hotel, and the local amenities surrounding the hotel made it a perfect stay for us....

We have stayed at the Westin Bear Mountain in Victoria, BC twice this last year and both times it was excellent! The staff are amazing and helpful and the hotel is beautiful, immaculate, quiet and had everything we need. They don't charge you extra to use the gym and it has a nice pool and deck area with outside dining..... More

Truth be told this should probably be a 4 star rating but given the fact I was able to book a promo rate of $87/night, the value pushes it into the 5 star rating for my stay. Well appointed high end rooms with the always great heavenly beds and showers. Large flat screens in room and complimentary Starbucks coffee with... More
