Wonderful experience
I recently stayed at the Empress, and it could not have been better. We arrived via the Clipper (great, as well) and were taken in the taxi at 10 am to the Empress. We were immediately checked in, and when we went to our room we were even more impressed. Our room had a very large bed, two bathrooms, a great view of the harbour (and we didn't even pay extra!), two large windows and a living room area. Maybe it was because of the location of our room, but we did not hear any other guests, or street noise, as I've read in other reviews. The staff was very helpful, and the hotel was decorated very nicely for Christmas. It is in the perfect location, right along the water in downtown Victoria. We didn't want to ever leave, the entire experience was perfect.

Gracious Service
We just spent s very pleasant vacation here during the Christmas season and were impressed by the professional and gracious service. The staff here are exceptional, even during one of the busiest weeks of the year.

Empire grandeur
The Empress lives up to its impressive facade. The room was spacious and clean. A christmas card and a plate of cookies and candy were waiting by our bed. Christmas morning there was a stocking on our doorknob. The staff were friendly and knowledgable, and even helped me retrieve a lost credit card. We ate in one of the hotel’s restaurants and enjoyed it very much. It is also within walking distance of most of Old Town Victoria. I’m only sorry I didn’t get to try their spa.

Luxurious stay in Victoria
Elegance throughout from afternoon coctails on the Veranda overlooking Victoria’s Inner Harbor to an evening of jazz and the quite tasty curry buffet in the Begal Room. Leisurely Afternoon Tea and the first rate Empress room for dining. The wine list is exhaustive from expensive rare Bordeaux to very nice B.C. vintages of excellent quality and easy on the budget. Will never stay anywhere else in Victoria.
