Nomadic Indulgence: Must Stay Hotels And Resorts
It may seem an obvious overstatement to claim anything as “must stay”, but one of our goals with Mi Magazine is to inspire you to get out and explore this amazing world for yourself and then find that perfect place at day’s end to relax and rejuvenate. With that in mind, our recommendations for where to stay will always feature hotels and resorts in North America and at least one in a unique location around the globe. Why? Because as a Mitsubishi owner, you have the perfect vehicle to explore the open road and see where it takes you. And if that road happens to lead to one of these exceptional vacation properties, then our work here is done, at least until the next time. Let the inspiration begin!
Oak Bay Beach Hotel • Victoria, British Columbia www.oakbaybeachhotel.com
Canada’s #1 Hotel in 2021 as ranked by Condé Nast Traveller, the drive into Oak Bay Beach Hotel winds through a series of city streets and past oceanside parks, with coffee shops at every corner and pedestrians crowding sidewalks. It feels more suburban than getaway, but this makes the surprise of arriving at the hotel even more enticing. A grand fountain anchors the round, interlocking brick driveway where doorman arrive to take your luggage and escort you in. Large windows face the Pacific Ocean; the view is breathtaking. This is British Columbia at its finest! The original hotel was constructed as a Victorian Mansion and dates back to 1927. Fire destroyed the building in 1930, but it was quickly rebuilt and continued on as the place to see and be seen until 2006 when it closed to undergo a complete, modern-day resort renovation. Today, a total of 100 rooms range in size from standard guest rooms to one-bedroom suites and the two-level 1,072-1,225 sq. ft Penthouse suites. Furnishings are designed to be comfy with thick duvets, earth-toned colours and dark wood fireplace surrounds.
