The apartment is located in the Oriental, one of the first hotels in Victoria's Old Town District, originally built in the 1800s. The Oriental is an excellent example of a late nineteenth century Victorian Italiante hotel, with distinct ground-storey arches made possible by the use of cast-iron columns - one of which is featured inside the apartment itself, next to the unique hanging rattan chair. Throughout the loft you'll find tons of unique touches and details to help make your stay more enjoyable (and memorable).

Access to the loft is through a funky gated alleyway, complete with courtyard, while the roof-top deck is accessed through another funky alleyway in the building itself. The hallways of the building also featured exposed brick and steel columns, all from the original Oriental Hotel.
