Experience the soul of Victoria from the historic elegance of the Old Town Flats. Nestled within The Vogue—a masterfully restored 1892 heritage landmark—this sophisticated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom sanctuary perfectly blends turn-of-the-century charm with premium modern luxury. Originally built as the Victoria Hotel, the building later served as the legendary Mac & Mac Hardware Store, standing as a cornerstone of Victoria’s bustling shipping and trade era. Today, it remains one of the city's premier heritage conversions, meticulously preserved to highlight its iconic brick-and-beam architecture.

Your private urban oasis extends outdoors to an expansive, sun-drenched patio—a rare find downtown—offering the perfect vantage point for sipping morning coffee while people-watching in the very heart of Old Town.
