Introducing our newly renovated Penthouses

posted by Inner Harbour Hotel on 8/11/2014 12:58:29 PM

Our two Penthouse Suites were recently completely re-designed and are now truly luxurious suites each with a unique and elegant style, not to mention offer the BEST view. Both top-floor Penthouse Suites include the additional sleeping area in the living room with a queen sized sofa bed, wood burning fireplace, vaulted ceilings, a full kitchen and dining area. Each Penthouse suite also has a wrap around patio that features priceless panoramic views of Victoria’s scenic Inner Harbour, James Bay area and beyond to the Juan de Fuca Strait!

One Bedroom Penthouse

The One Bedroom Penthouse continues the relaxed less formal island experience with authentic, natural live edge reclaimed wood furniture in the bedroom, dining room and living room. Even the art relates to what is natural. The separate bedroom has a pillow-top king bed and flat screen TV. The living room offers a reclining leather chair to read or daydream, a large leather couch to stretch out on, a fireplace, and, the most incredible panoramic view of the Inner Harbour. The One Bedroom Penthouse suite measures 840 square feet in size.

Two Bedroom Penthouse

Our Two Bedroom Penthouse was designed with a comfortably elegant global approach. From a contemporary crystal chandelier hanging over the French style dining room table and chairs to a modern leather reclining chaise to oversized upholstered headboards in both bedrooms. Add the combination of new artwork and elegant lighting and you will be at home anywhere in the world. The master bedroom has a pillow-top king bed, walk-in closet, flat screen TV, and en suite bathroom with soaker jetted tub. The second bedroom has a pillow-top queen bed with flat screen TV and there is also a second full bathroom. The Two Bedroom Penthouse suite measures over 1,150 square feet.
