THE ORIENT
HOTEL

Established in 1900, the historic Orient Hotel—located in the charming seaside fishing village of Victoria-By-the-Sea on the Island's south shore—now operates as a bed and breakfast. The hotel is located in the heart of the village, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and the Victoria School House where our writing workshops take place.

Retreat guests will stay in comfortably appointed queen rooms, or may choose a spacious one or two bedroom suite, all with private ensuite bathrooms and most with spectacular water views. Amenities include colour cable TV, free wireless internet and overhead ceiling fans. A complimentary hot breakfast is served each morning in the dining room.

The following room options are available at The Orient. Please note that accommodations must be booked directly through the hotel. Book early to secure your preferred room. Several rooms offer the option of sharing with a friend or partner.

All room prices below are exclusive of HST.

To book, please contact The Orient Hotel directly at (902) 658-2503 or by emailing stay@theorienthotel.com. Mention that you are part of the retreat and which room you wish to chose. We’ll keep the list updated as rooms fill.
