I spent 4 days in this iconic hotel Aug 12 -16 to celebrate my 64th birthday. I wanted to visit Victoria one more time. I spent August on the Island in my youth camping on Qualicum Beach. I have been very ill the past 3 years, I was missing birthdays with my nephew, his 26th the day before. We are Leo's who love luxury. My niece & fiancé moved to Victoria for school and won't come home, they have inspired us all. I wanted to spoil them fierce they are my heart and my nephew is my soul mate. I wanted to make a new memory with him because we lost my sister 6 yrs ago. We were magical trio of fun. The Empress from the moment you arrive is also magic, the gardens, views, staff, lobbies, decor, dining, bar & other guests are perfection. Everyone visiting this property is instantly transported to joyous & peaceful. The staff at the Empress masterfully welcomes you & takes care of you at every level. The dining is superb from breakfast til dinner and we had every Empress gin cocktail they create (my goal). This is place is worth every penny so by all means splurge & treat yourself at least once in your life.

Easy walkable areas BUT full of non hotel guest groups and non guest people in all areas. Guests were advised to show room key to enter the hotel and that never once was asked of us. I felt unsafe and areas were definitely not quiet. Went to tea and the bathroom close by was filled by non hotel or tea guests. It was very dirty. And unfortunately we won’t be back.

During my stay at the Fairmont Empress, I encountered an issue with the air conditioner in my room, which unfortunately leaked. The hotel staff were very friendly and did their best to address the situation, which I appreciated. Despite their efforts, it seemed like the area around the air conditioner remained a bit damp throughout my stay. While the staff were great and really tried to help, the issue with the air conditioner did impact my experience.

The Fairmont Empress, and Victoria, have a "Disneyland" quality to them with the staff being very attentive to your needs and the property being impeccably maintained. It is very family friendly and right on the Harbor so that you can walk along the water, to the wharf, and other shops and restaurants. We have been to Victoria before but this was our first stay at the Fairmont and we will definitely stay here again.
