After 10 years of dedication to Abigail’s Hotel, current General Manager, Wes Wong, will be leaving us in September to take an articling position, in pursuit of his Chartered Accountant designation with Grant Thornton, here in Victoria.

Joining us is Nick Saklas, son of owner Ellen Cmolik, who enticed her son to join our team on March 1, 2010. Coincidentally, Nick has left a 10 year career as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG LLP in Vancouver. Nick has a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Victoria, is a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Business Valuator. For the last five years, Nick practiced in Corporate Finance, specializing in Mergers and Acquisitions.

Nick will be bringing with him his wife, Lisa, and their 1 year old son Alexander. Nick and Lisa met while at UVic, so neither are strangers to life on Vancouver Island. Nick is very excited and enthusiastic to be joining the Abigail’s family.

Thank you for a great review!

Frommer’s Review…
A Tudor-style mansion in a residential neighborhood just east of downtown, Abigail’s began life in the 1920s as a luxury apartment house before being converted to a boutique hotel. If you like small, personalized bed-and-breakfast hotels, you’ll enjoy this impeccably maintained property. Everything is done well here, and the quality is high throughout. In the original building, some of the 16 rooms are bright and sunny and beautifully furnished, with pedestal sinks and goose-down duvets. Others feature soaker tubs and double-sided fireplaces, so you can relax in the tub by the light of the fire. The six Celebration Suites in the Coach House are even more luxurious. Recent renovations added Italian marble bathrooms, new furniture, and a new spa. Abigail’s chef prepares a multicourse gourmet breakfast served in the sunny breakfast room, on the patio, or in your room.
