Pamper yourself beside the most gorgeous, Instagrammable hotel pool in Surrey. Enjoy a leisurely dip in our outdoor lap pool or twirl the umbrella in your deck-side drink from the Dominion on Demand menu. Release any tension with a long soak in the whirlpool hot tub. Come dusk, head to your room for pampering in your spa-like bathroom before heading downstairs to Dominion Bar + Kitchen. After a fantastic night of great food and luscious cocktails, dive into your luxurious bed for a great night’s sleep. Rinse and repeat.

Surrey’s Arts & Culture Scene

Celebrate the return of the arts with exciting new content. Outdoor theatre, musical productions, art exhibitions, and socially distanced festivals deliver live cultural experiences that go far beyond those watched via your streaming device. Enjoy shows at Neverland Night Park Circus or Movies Under the Stars. Lean back and soak in vintage, roots and folk music at the Sounds of Summer concert series, or Music on the Plaza, right outside of Civic Hotel. The Surrey Art Gallery exhibitions always please, or slow down and head out on a self-guided public art walk through Surrey City Centre.

Must-See Historical Destinations

Explore your own backyard by giving yourself the gift of time in Surrey’s amazing museums and heritage sites. The Museum of Surrey is a great place to start, whether you view the exhibits or bring your pencil and join a sketching session. The Historic Stewart Farm provides a fascinating window into the region’s history, while the Vintage Truck Museum is a must for classic car aficionados. Or hop aboard a restored electric interurban railcar for a ride into local railway history.
