Description (provided by Virtuoso)

Rising regally on the banks of Victoria, British Columbia's spectacular Inner Harbor, The Fairmont Empress showcases the spirit and energy of Vancouver Island in grand style. Lovingly restored to her turn-of-the-century beauty, The Fairmont Empress captures the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era, while her facilities and services meet the needs of today's traveler. Kitty corner to the province's government legislature buildings – and equally as beautiful – The Fairmont Empress is a distinction in itself as "The Castle on the Coast".

The Fairmont Empress features 464 luxuriously appointed guest rooms and suites, with magnificent views of the city, courtyard or spectacular Inner Harbor.
