Summary
In Sooke, you generally have 3 options when considering where to stay:
Staying in Sooke Proper: There are several high-end accommodations in Sooke itself. These are, overall, the nicest places, and they work well as a base to explore the surrounding area, or as just a getaway where you want a bit of luxury and want to barely leave the hotel. There are also some full townhouse properties available in town that are ideal if you are travelling as a family or as a part of a larger group, and you want a full kitchen and all the amenities of a full home
Staying in East Sooke Park: There are quite a few full-time residents living in the park and a small collection of cabins and B&B's as well. These work well if you're here mostly for the hiking, or if you're looking for a cozy cabin to escape to, and you're not too worried about getting out and exploring
Just Past Sooke: The little cottage community of Jordan River, just past Sooke, works well if you are planning your trip around exploring the Juan de Fuca region. The accommodations here are small cottages and B&B's.
Luxury options
There are a few high-end options in Sooke. The best of them all is the Sooke Harbour House. This is a hotel that some people come to Sooke for. They don't hike, they don't go for a river swim, they just read on the balcony, get dinner at the restaurant, and soak in their double-sized tubs. It is a great luxury hotel experience, and outside of the peak summer months (July & August), the price is pretty reasonable considering the level of service and luxury.
Even if you're not staying here, it is worth popping in for dinner at some point in your trip. The outdoor space is gorgeous, and it's probably the best meal in town.

Prestige Oceanfront Resort, WorldHotels Luxury
This is a polished, full-service resort option with oceanfront views and all the amenities you'd expect from a luxury hotel brand. It's in the actual town of Sooke, and it's right on the water, which is a great balance.Check Availability
SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort
SookePoint is quite a bit out of the town and is actually down at the south tip of East Sooke Park. It looks close to the other hotels on the map, but if you put in the driving directions you will see how remote it is, which can be seen as a perk. Check AvailabilityTownhouses
Travelling with kids, extended family, or a group? Renting a full townhouse gives you the space to spread out, a kitchen to prep your own meals, and a home base that actually feels like home. Sooke has several solid options available:
