Victorian Hotel publishes 5 tips to help travellers master the art of packing light

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/19/2019 -- With baggage and carry-on restrictions, the art of packing light has become a valuable skill. As a boutique hotel in downtown Vancouver, the Victorian has recently published a new blog outlining five tips to streamline travel through the process of artful packing. For more, go to: https://victorianhotel.ca/

One of the most important tips is investing in a good suitcase: "although it may seem like just a suitcase, using one that fits your preferred colour, layout, size and compartment density can make all the difference. Finding a suitcase that will fit all these components will make it exciting to travel again and will make packing a lot less boring that it may seem."

After a few product recommendations including Away (The Medium Suitcase), Herschel (Trade Luggage Medium), and Tumi (International Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-On), the article provides a handful of helpful tips. These include making a travel checklist of necessary items, packing to suit the weather, using a designated pre-packed toiletry bag (no full-sized products), and wearing the heaviest or bulkiest items on the plane.

Minimizing luggage can be a challenge even for the most seasoned travellers. And with increasing restrictions and baggage fees, investing in a routine that makes travel easier and faster may be well worth the time, especially for frequent business travellers.

Packing light can be especially difficult when the weather is changing, like in spring and fall. It may be tempting to pack items like cozy cashmere sweaters or sleek wool jackets, but these will dramatically increase bulk and weight.

Remember to check the weather network (Environment Canada Vancouver Forecast) to ensure garment choices are appropriate. In variable weather, the article recommends opting for light layers that provide warmth year-round, but can also be peeled away if the mercury suddenly increases. This strategy works to provide warmth and comfort without adding too much bulk and weight. Pair that with a light sweater and a fold-up rain jacket, and most travellers are set for spring, summer, and fall.

For winter climates, clothing like puffy jackets and bulky boots should be worn on the plane. With a little practice and discipline, packing light will become a habit. And that means travelling will be easier, whether the destination is a weekend jaunt in Vancouver or a tropical escape overseas.

Located next to the Permanent Building, the Victorian Hotel in Vancouver offers convenient, comfortable lodging for out of towners

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/22/2019 -- For anyone still deciding on a wedding venue, the Permanent Building, next to the Victorian Hotel in Vancouver, remains one of the city's best-kept secrets. After a stunning renovation, this historic building has become a sought after venue for all kinds of events, especially since its close proximity to the hotel makes it a convenient option for out-of-town guests. For more, go to: https://victorianhotel.ca/victorian-hotel-in-vancouver-offers-easy-access-to-permanent-wedding-venue/

Erected almost a century ago, the building is named after the BC Permanent & Loan Company, which first opened its doors in 1907. In 1935, the Bank of Canada called this place home, leaving its mark for decades to come. Recently, The Permanent was completely restored, bringing a landmark heritage space back to the community.

The original Bank of Canada vault door stands tall at the head of the main hall, while the jaw-droppingly beautiful stained glass atrium soars overhead. Other neo-classical elements are adorned throughout, including classic crown mouldings, bronze chandeliers, and many tile mosaics. Of course, some modernization has taken place. State-of-the-art equipment has been installed throughout the building, in addition to a 16-foot heritage bar.

The Permanent is a gorgeous venue available for weddings, corporate events, trade shows, conferences, and private parties. The venue is conveniently located in downtown Vancouver—right next to the Victorian Hotel for anyone who requires accommodation for themselves or out of town guests.

Like the Permanent Building, the Victorian Hotel in Vancouver represents a one-of-a-kind experience. Originally built in 1898, the property blends historical finishes with contemporary features, resulting in a truly unique look and feel.

For value-conscious travellers looking to try something new, the hotel has a variety of "Euro-Rooms" with shared bathrooms, as well as more conventional rooms with regular, private bathrooms. Each of these rooms displays an exposed section of 18th-century brick wall which lights up, showing off the textures and colours of the original turn-of-the-century walls. This signature design feature lends an authentic style to the rooms and is like nothing else in Vancouver.

Boutique Hotel Highlights Proximity to Science World and Other Star Attractions in Vancouver

Vancouver, BC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/21/2018 -- As a boutique hotel, the Victorian Hotel offers visitors easy access to many Vancouver attractions thanks to its downtown location and convenient public transport nearby. One of the attractions guests won't want to miss, particularly if they have children, is Science World.

For more, go to: https://victorianhotel.ca/vancouver-boutique-hotel-only-a-short-way-from-science-world/.

As an iconic feature on the Vancouver landscape, Science World was the centerpiece for Expo 86. The historic geodesic structure was soon made a permanent feature and repurposed as the new home for Vancouver's Science World, and even dedicated as such by Queen Elizabeth II.

Built initially as a 3D IMAX theater and later incorporating a 400 seat OMNIMAX theater, the museum hosts a number of wild and awe-inspiring exhibits, including the current Science Behind Pixar, which examines the Pixar process of making movies and allows people to take a hands-on look at the challenges and wonder of being part of a cutting-edge animation studio.

Science World is about 11 minutes away from the Victorian Hotel by public transit. Just walk 5 minutes to the Granville Station and take the SkyTrain right to the Main Street-Science World stop.

Enjoy a long day of education that feel like entertainment and then head back to the hotel, where it's possible to enjoy dinner at one of the many fine restaurants and cafes just a stone's throw away. Just another benefit of being downtown.
