Stay with Us: Conference Hotels for #GSB2026
The #GSB2026 Local Organizing Committee is excited to partner with four outstanding hotels, all within walking distance of the Victoria Conference Centre and surrounded by Victoria’s vibrant downtown, waterfront, restaurants, and green spaces.
By booking your stay at one of our designated conference hotels, you’re directly supporting the success of GSB2026—these hotels have offered our delegates competitive rates, and a portion of each booking helps fund the conference. Plus, staying with fellow attendees fosters opportunities for networking and spontaneous discussions.
Chateau Victoria
A true Victoria gem, the Chateau Victoria has been family-owned since 1975 and is just steps from the conference venue. It features a stunning rooftop restaurant with the best view in the city, and they even make their own honey. If you love quirky details, don’t miss the incredible Lego replica of the hotel—built from 62,000 bricks by a long-time staff member during the pandemic! (Read the story here). Renovated in 2023, the hotel offers traditional rooms and one bedroom suites for extra convenience.
The Inn at Laurel Point
If you’re looking for waterfront views from every room, The Inn at Laurel Point is an independent, carbon-neutral hotel just an 8-minute scenic walk from the Victoria Conference Centre. Your morning stroll takes you along the inner harbour, past the historic Parliament Buildings. The hotel is operated by a trust with a mission to support local charities and the LGBTQ2+ community. Plus, their independent coffee shop is a must-visit for a seriously good cup of coffee.
Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour
For those who appreciate the comfort of a trusted brand, The Marriott is just steps from the conference centre and offers pet-friendly rooms with stunning mountain or city views. All rooms include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, minifridges and coffee makers, while suites provide separate living areas, and microwaves—ideal for those looking for extra space and convenience. And if you’re looking to get some exercise, energize in their 24-hour fitness center and unwind in their indoor pool.
The Parkside Hotel & Spa
Perfect for those traveling with family, lab mates, or colleagues, The Parkside Hotel & Spa features deluxe and luxury one-bedroom suites (4 people occupancy) with full kitchens or kitchenettes, plus living areas, washer/dryers. Just a block from the conference venue, it’s also home to an indoor pool, a day spa, and a rooftop patio with fire pits. Committed to sustainability, The Parkside is carbon-neutral and Biosphere Certified, making it an excellent choice.
We encourage all delegates to book early to secure our exclusive conference rates and enjoy the benefits of staying close to the action.
