Fairmont Empress Hotel

The Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia, is Canada's most celebrated grand railway hotel, a ivy-clad château-style landmark on the Inner Harbour that has been the social center of Victoria since 1908. Renowned for its elaborate traditional afternoon tea served in the Tea Lobby, the Empress exudes Edwardian grandeur with its ornate copper roof, impeccable service, and harbor views. It remains a living monument to the golden age of Canadian Pacific Railway luxury.
