HISTORY:
This large three-level Craftsman, chalet style, heritage manor was designed by the famous Canadian architect, Samuel Maclure, in 1912 for a prominent local businessman who was well-known for his interest in the prohibition movement and church, and was president of the YMCA. Two decades ago, the building was converted into seven self-contained suites. The suites all unique from each other ranging from studios, one and two bedroom suites. They all have their own kitchen and bathroom. The manor was known as Trutch Manor Suites, had for many years been Victoria's popular bed and breakfast. The manor is now renamed “Larkspur Manor Suites” to pay homage to our City of Gardens - Victoria. Larkspurs are are old-fashion flowers that come in a variety of shades, with beautiful meanings, most commonly used to symbolize love, affection, strong attachment, happiness, and pure heart. We believe Larkspur beautifully represents our manor in welcoming people from all shades to have a wonderful, happy stay, whether they are here for a special occasion, holiday making, or to reconnect with friends, families, and love ones. As the new owner with years of hospitality experience hosting travelers, business professionals, and international students from all over the world, and as a super host, and premiere host, I am excited and pleased to continue offering this wonderful manor as your home away from home while you are visiting or working in Victoria.
