ABOUT - There once was a man with a dream The Hotel Rialto is a family-owned boutique hotel and a heritage site in downtown Victoria, British Columbia. It was the hotel where Danilo Danzo stayed during his first trip to Victoria in the late 1960s. A recent immigrant from Italy, Danilo realized the potential of the building’s location, and his dream was born. One day, he would buy the building and transform it into a love letter to his homeland, rich with Italy’s cuisine and fine elements of style. A lofty goal for a man who had little more than a gut instinct that this building could transform the neighbourhood. Almost three decades later, Danilo’s dream was realized. His instincts were correct: the building revitalized the area, transforming the neighbourhood into a place for businesses to thrive and for locals to enjoy. The Danzo family still owns the hotel – an inspirational example of Danilo’s legacy of positive change and contribution to the community and City of Victoria. THE PALMS KITCHEN Our menus are carefully curated offering you approachable, locally sourced global cuisine that change with the seasons.
