Beautiful, impressive locaton

Sncoops (Hinton, Canada) on Feb 08, 2023

I just had a standard king room, unfortunately my view was of the roof of the conference center. That said - there are many places within the hotel to see that beautiful harbor view, and the hotel itself is very nice. The bed is very comfortable, and the staff are very nice (although I did miss seeing Winston on my visit :( ).

A wonderful hotel.

We had a three night stay at the Fairmont Empress and the experience was divine. The hotel is absolutely stunning, and our room exceeded our expectations. The location of the hotel is fantastic, sitting majestically beside the bay. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and attentive. I encourage anyone traveling to Victoria BC to stay at the Empress, it is an unforgettable experience.
