: your creative environment: SOOKE HARBOUR HOUSE

Sooke Harbour House on Vancouver Island has transformed from a family residence into a boutique hotel and restaurant since its construction in 1929. In the 1970s, Frederique and Sinclair Philip revamped it, gaining fame for their farm-to-table approach using local, seasonal ingredients. After losing the hotel in a notorious lawsuit, it underwent a $14 million renovation and has since reopened, aiming to restore its reputation for hospitality and culinary excellence. We invite you to join our painting classes at this newly refreshed hotel, featuring stunning views of Whiffin Spit, the Olympic Mountains, and orcas in the basin.
