The Veranda at The Fairmont Empress is the perfect setting to enjoy our signature 1908 Cocktail while taking in the sights and sounds of Victoria's Inner Harbour.  Notably, the most beautiful seat in the city! Whether to sip a martini, have an afternoon nibbly or an evening dinner, watch the best sights in the city from our famous Veranda. Overlooking the Inner Harbour, the Veranda offers a birds eye view of the city and activities on Government Street. From the vine-hugged archs, guests can enjoy a picturesque view of the Legislative Buildings designed by Rattenbury and the reflection of lights on the Inner Harbour. A cozy place to read a book or entertainment friends while creating a memory in Victoria.
