Gracious Landmark Hotel dating from 1908, set amid verdant gardens.
The renowned Empress hotel, located in the heart of downtown, is certainly the most famous hotel in Victoria. It’s a big, ivy-covered building that has been standing at the head of the Inner Harbour since it first opened its doors in 1908. Many of the 477 rooms, all styled in traditional old-fashioned décor, while elegant tend to be quite small. To get the most out of your money and stay, book one of the larger rooms at the Gold level. They come with a dedicated concierge, breakfast and evening hors d’oeuvres, along with the best views. Enjoy a swim in the kid-friendly indoor pool, relax at the acclaimed Willow Stream spa or treat yourself to Afternoon Tea (they boast serving more than 800 people per day in the summer). Even if you don’t stay here it’s worth strolling through just to soak up the ambience.
