Happy Birthday to a VIP!
Today we wish our very own Courtney Hilverda a very Happy Birthday!
Courtney has been Premiere Suites Victoria’s reservations manager for the past three years and we honestly don’t know what we would do without her!
Courtney, thank you for taking great care of our guests and keeping the office running like clockwork. We are so lucky to have you!
A Warm Welcome
A Warm Welcome to the newest member of the Premiere family!
All the staff at Premeire Suites Victoria would like to congratulate Dennis on the new arrival of his baby boy!
This perfect little package was delivered on April 23rd at the Victoria General Hospital, weighing a healthy 7.08 pounds.
With love in our hearts, we welcome you to the world Logan!
Farewell!
I’ve never been very good at good-byes.
In fact I think we all started to miss you the day you told us you were moving on. So it is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to our lovely Dani. She has been a shinning star in our office for the better part of a year and we will all miss you greatly! What is Dani moving onto that is better than Premiere Suites you might ask? Well certainly not better (we’re a tough act to follow!), but in a very different direction… Dani is moving to Vancouver to follow her passion in the Film industry. With many industries and successes under her belt, we are sure she will flourish amid the creativity and craziness of the acting world! We wish you all the best in your new endeavours Dani!

Summer in the City
What are your favourite summertime activities in and around Victoria? If you are looking for some inspiration for the last few weeks of summer, I have asked our team here at Premiere Suites Victoria what has been a highlight for them this season.
Rachelle:
You can find her cooling down on hot days with an iced coffee from the Ogden Point Café, walking the picturesque breakwater in James Bay.
Dennis:
As our Operations Manager, Den is always on the go, completing inspections, buying inventory, coordinating trades, and fixing anything and everything in our suites. Rather than kicking back and relaxing on his days off from work, he would rather kick a soccer ball, or explore the trestle bridge and hiking trails around Goldstream Park.
Dani:
Outdoor movies! Fairy tales at Craigdarroch Castle are among her favourite, but there are so many venues to choose from around town: Beacon Hill Park, Oak Bay Beach Hotel, the Legislature lawn, and Bullen Park to name a few.
Leah:
Most of Leah’s time outside of work involves textbooks, exams, and studying studying studying. We will ask her again once the school year is up!
Courtney:
As locals, we often forget or overlook the attractions that make us so popular with tourists, like whale watching. She prefers the zodiac experience because you can get up close and personal to the whales, and t
Sonal:
Just spent the weekend camping in Tofino, the small West Coast town that affectionately calls itself the Tree Loving Capitol of the World. Surfing, storm watching, beach combing, birding, camping, hiking, and fishing, Tofino caters to the outdoor adventurist, with a fair number of lodges and resorts for those wishing to experience the West Coast from a comfortable abode.
Tracy:
Loves hitting up the beaches around Victoria. Cadboro Bay Beach because it’s dog friendly year round, Willows Beach because she can walk there from her house, and Gonzales because of the soft white sand and beautiful cove shaped beach which always seems to be warm.
Welcome to the team
We would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest team member, Luisa Cinanni!
Luisa brings to us a host of knowledge and talents in international reservations and hospitality… not to mention she speaks four languages to boot. Luisa’s thoughtful manor and extensive background in tourism, including a degree in Economics and Techniques of Tourism, will be a great fit with our office as our new Reservations Manager.
We look forward to working and growing with you at Premiere Suites Victoria, Luisa!
