A proposal to redevelop the Victoria Plaza Hotel in downtown Victoria is envisioned a six-storey new-build wing fronting onto Pandora Avenue and the addition of two-storeys above the historic four-storey hotel fronting onto Government Street. A total of 100 residences were planned along with ground floor retail spaces.
Following a May 6, 2019 fire that destroyed the entire building, the development proposal was rescinded.

The re-development of the former Century Plaza Hotel (which was poised for redevelopment before being burned down a few years ago) is now under very preliminary discussion (between proponents and staff) with the possibility of that site being developed as a hotel and training facility involving parcipaon by some local indigenous groups. It is possible that an increase in height and density will be requested. A number of other large developments are coming forward – the former Ingraham Hotel being one.
Pretty sure Century became Victoria Plaza by 1995.
^ Definitely, which likely shows both the age of the person writing the comments and their preferred beer halls back then. Man when I think back to those type of places, they were so soulless.
