About this property
Elegant Retreat in the Heart Old Town Victoria
Property Overview
Elevate your Victoria experience from the crest of the historic city center. Built in 2020, The Iron Lady is a premier top-floor corner residence located at 515 Chatham Street that perfectly balances modern sophistication with the spirited energy of Old Town. Flooded with natural light and boasting rare access to two private balconies with sweeping city and waterway vistas, this chic one-bedroom, one-bathroom retreat offers a luxurious urban sanctuary for your next extended stay.
Living at The Iron Lady means enjoying the ultimate in downtown privacy and architectural design. Being a top-floor corner unit, the space feels exceptionally quiet, bright, and airy with no upstairs neighbors. The sleek open-concept interior features high-end custom finishes, a dedicated desk and chair, Smart TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, central heating, books, and a single bed in the living area. The gourmet kitchen comes fully equipped with high-end appliances, contemporary cabinetry, cookware, dishes & utensils, dining spices, dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven, refrigerator, toaster, and coffee maker.
The serene primary bedroom is outfitted with a premium Queen-sized bed and soft linens, paired with a gorgeous, spa-like 3-piece bathroom. Step out onto your dual private balconies to catch the evening breeze over the water, or enjoy exclusive access to the building's hidden residential green space—a beautifully manicured private courtyard hidden away from the fast pace of the city. Complete in-suite laundry facilities, an elevator, travel crib, and essential towels make extended stays completely effortless.
Perfectly positioned at 515 Chatham Street, you are a mere 1-minute walk from the bustling restaurants, vibrant shopping, and historic squares of Chinatown and Market Square, and just 2 minutes from famous Fan Tan Alley. You are located just one block from the water and Inner Harbour terminal—making seaplane travel a quick, convenient 5-minute walk home. A scenic 10-minute stroll brings you to the lush pathways of Beacon Hill Park, the historic Fairmont Empress Hotel, and the majestic BC Parliament Buildings.
