Two new hotel spas open in Victoria

Two new spa experiences are awaiting visitors to Victoria. Those looking for a spa with an Asian influence should visit SORA at the Hotel Grand Pacific. It re-opened this October after a complete renovation, and specializes in traditional Thai massages. Also, the Boathouse Spa & Baths at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel opens today (Nov. 15) after a complete rebuild. It features a series of cascading seaside hot therapeutic mineral pools overlooking the oceanfront, and a signature Swedish massage.
