Our Story
Nestled in the heart of Victoria, The Magnolia Hotel & Spa offers more than just a place to stay—it offers a unique and sophisticated experience. Born from the passion of two local businessmen, Jim Duncan and Tony Young, who loved to explore the world. Their dream of a luxury boutique hotel delivering personalized service while inviting guests to explore the beauty of our region became a reality in October 1998.
The tradition of passionate leadership continues today with second generation local ownership by the Duncan and Young families. Led by President Nicole Roberts, Jim Duncan’s daughter, they too uphold the commitment to exceptional hospitality, locally rooted values, and a vision to continually enhance the guest experience.
