Recipient of the Condé Nast Gold List 2010, The Fairmont Empress majestically rises over Victoria's Inner Harbour. With turn of the century architecture and timeless beauty, this luxury Vancouver Island resort hotel showcases the spirit and energy of British Columbia's capital city in grand style.
No visit to Victoria would be complete without world-renowned Afternoon Tea or a tour of Butchart Gardens. Whale watching, world-class golf and culture exhibits are just a few of the countless experiences to mesmerize your senses while on Vancouver Island.
The Fairmont Empress is Victoria's premier meeting destination and offers expansive meeting facilities adjacent to The Victoria Conference Centre. A bounty of dining options will complete your visit as Chef's "farm to fork" philosophy ensures the best of Vancouver Island is engaged in your dining experience. Willow Stream Spa is regarded as one of the best spas in Canada and offers an urban oasis to find your energy.
Victoria's premier class of luxury accommodation can be experienced on Fairmont Gold; recently completing a multi-million dollar renovation.
Access to Victoria is easy with non-stop flights from Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Seattle, and San Francisco. Part of a perfect island experience is an awe-inspiring seaplane over the Pacific coastal isles; a marine-bound journey from Vancouver by ferry; or from Seattle aboard the high-speed ferry via the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Whatever your desires, the luxury "castle on the coast" offers the perfect destination for business, pleasure or both!
