Hotel Review of the Fairmont Empress Hotel Victoria
28 November 2011
I have wanted to stay at the Empress since first seeing it at the age of 12 back
in the '60's on a trip with my parents to Vancouver Island. My husband & I took
this trip from Seattle to Victoria and found that to stay at the Fairmont
Empress was affordable. It is an elegant presence. Our room near the back of the
hotel was reasonably priced at under $150 a night in the off season (November).
It was a pleasant room although there was not a view. We spent most of our time
out walking and so the view wasn't important.
Room Tip: If you'd like a view of the inner harbor, you'll have to upgrade to a
Gold room. For our purposes the back side room was fine since we were out of the
hotel a great deal of the time.

The old work charm in this place is great. the room we had was one of the tower
rooms large and clean.
the first night the bed was not all that good but they changed it the second
night. service was great and the people were great..

Room Tip: Look at the room before you bring your bags up some of the rooms are
small.

Old world elegance and ambiance, spacious, perfect location, and we found the
room and service fine. They had good bikes available, great way to enjoy the
coast and inland biking trails. A highlight of a pleasure trip to British
Columbia.

Always have a pretty good stay while at the empress. I enjoy the workout stuff
that is always waiting for me in my room (shoes, shirt, shorts and socks). The
workout facility is very good, as is the pool. Every time I stay here the room
layout / style is always different. Location in the city is good and service is
always solid. Bengal lounge is a good place for business drinks and dinner.

When we arrived at this hotel we'd been camping for 3 nights and looked a bit of
a site rolling into reception. The staff didn't even bat an eyelid. They were so
professional and helpful. We had a lovely room and bathroom. It was styled in a
fitting way for the building and had a big window you could open. Parking was
really easy too. Only downside was there was a function in the suite next to us
during our stay which was a little strange. Overall, we had a really lovely stay
for our anniversary. |
