THE HOTEL GRAND PACIFIC
Victoria, British Columbia

TAKE THE STRESS OUT OF THE HOLIDAYS AT THE HOTEL GRAND PACIFIC
The luxurious Hotel Grand Pacific in Victoria, British Columbia is offering a Grand Christmas package that takes the stress out of the holidays, without putting it on your wallet.


The Grand Christmas Package includes three nights accommodation, December 24, 25 and 26 and begins with a Welcome Reception and Christmas Eve Dinner. A gift and visit from Santa add a traditional touch to Christmas morning. A breakfast buffet and memorable Christmas Dinner round out the day. A "Boxing Day" (December 26) breakfast buffet is also included, as well as breakfast on December 27, a horse-drawn Trolley Tour of Victoria and a Christmas Lights Tour of the beautiful Butchart Gardens.

Christmas is a magical time in Victoria where snow and cold are usually kept at bay, allowing for comfortable strolls through the city's parks and quaint Old Town shopping district. Choral concerts and Christmas Tree Festivals, Live Nativity presentations and Christmas Lights Tours add to the celebrations.

Colourful in any season, Victoria's world-famous Butchart Gardens become a lavish display of lights during the holiday season. The Butchart Gardens prepare all year for Christmas. Hundreds of hours are spent making decorations and in October, the installation of more than one hundred thousand coloured lights begins.

The Grand Christmas Package is CAN$510.00 / US$320.35 per person, based on double occupancy, and includes applicable taxes and gratuities.
