Choice Hotels Canada has rallied the national winners of its 2023 Awards for Property Excellence (APEX) and the results are in!

Named for Best New Entry in the Ascend Hotel Collection category, the newly remodeled The Vic has taken the crown alongside the 12 other hotels that have been nationally recognized for customer service and operational excellence.

The Ascend Hotel Collection is a network of upscale resorts, historic properties and boutique hotels that offer guests a uniquely local experience.

This is the first APEX award for The Vic, having opened its doors at the end of last year!

“The Vic is a fantastic representation of our Ascend Hotel Collection,” said Brian Leon, CEO of Choice Hotels Canada. 

“We look forward to supporting them on their path to hospitality excellence and are proud to honour them with this award.”

The Vic underwent a complete, full-scale renovation in 2022—transforming the lobby and

public spaces, and guest rooms as well as creating a new exterior facade. 

The newly completed property features a spacious and stylish lobby, apartment-style suites with LED mirrors, rainfall showers, Smart TVs, kitchenettes, and more.

“Joining the Ascend Hotel Collection was a great decision for us and we are honoured to be given this prestigious award from Choice Hotels Canada,” says Shakil Adam, president of the Evergreen Hospitality Group, owners of The Vic. 

“We’d like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication to our guests.”

In addition to the beautiful space and well-curated atmosphere, the location is also a huge draw for guests!

It’s within close proximity to the Inner Harbour district, the home of frequent festivals, live shows, visiting yachts and cruise ships. This historic district offers a variety of fine restaurants and lounges as well as carriage rides. 

The Vic is also pet-friendly, has an outdoor pool and fitness centre, has great onsite food and beverage outlets including Vic Café and Hecklers Bar & Grill, and is located by the scenic ‘Galloping Goose’ running trail.
