Built in 1908 the Fairmont Empress (formerly knows as The Empress Hotel) is the most iconic and oldest building in Victoria, B.C.
The chateau-style hotel has recently completed Phase 1 of its restoration. The traditional decor of approximately half of the 464 guest rooms and suites have been refreshed with a contemporary feel. The Fairmont Empress offers three dining choices; Q at The Empress, Q Bar (with views of the inner harbour), and the Lobby Lounge (where Tea at the Empress is served).
Phase two is set to start in October of this year and will be completed in June 2017.
