Built in 1908 for the Canadian Pacific Ocean, such as the Château Frontenac in Québec, the Fairmont Empress is one of Victoria's best-loved landmarks.
Designed by architect Francis M. Empress Ratenberg, and entering the spacious lobby of this luxury hotel is like going back to the past before the First World War.
Afternoon tea, served with exquisite style, is an experience for any visitor. An extension on the north side of the Empress Hotel features a collection of dozens of miniature scenes in a miniature world. Historical event models, castles and dolls captivate young and old alike
