We got checked in and left for a few hours came back. They had done a full turn down service brought fresh ice, and water in our rooms. Remade the beds just a phenomenal experience. All of the staff were above and beyond. They were so helpful and wonderful and accommodating highly recommend this place to absolutely anyone. The pool was great because it has the main swimming pool, which is level depth throughout and then they have a little kitty pool at one end for tots or babies and then they have a nice really deep and large hot tub, which is amazing. There’s also a lovely sauna when you get out.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Fairmont Empress. The rooms are lovely and comfortable, but the carpeting—both inside the rooms and throughout the hallways—feels a bit worn and could use refreshing. The service, however, is consistently excellent, with staff who are warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. One thing I did notice was that the pool area floor tended to be a bit dirty each day, which took away from the otherwise great amenities. The in room dining is great as well. In short: beautiful hotel, great service, but a few areas could use some updating and more frequent upkeep.

Everything was absolutely perfect, and I can’t recommend the spa enough. We got a couples’ massage. Don’t be too scared of the prices—the experience was worth every penny. Across the board, the staff was helpful and courteous, and our stay was as relaxing as could be.

Splendid facility , immaculately clean with an extraordinary helpful staff that never stopped asking us if we needed anything else. Gold Level service allowed us a sumptuous free breakfast and an afternoon snack bar that substituted for dinner a number of times. We swam in the Health Club pool every morning and then head up for breakfast down the hall from our room. No view for us, but other rooms certainly had one. Expensive, but you get your money worth.

The high tea was good. The small flute of champagne was oversold and terribly overpriced as about $50 per glass with tax. We felt conned. Victoria has many great restaurants. Stay away from the empress. The gym was microscopic. Zero stars. Great location 😎

Location was everything about the empress. Great food at the hotel and near with walkable access to the heart of Victoria. Highly recommend renting a car as a lot of cool castles and beaches are close drives away. The garden was fantastic and live music and salmon at the hotel restaurant was great .

Staff at the front desk are very helpful. Foods in general are pretty good. Breakfast has plenty of options. At the inner harbor waterfront, the location is unmatched. The only thing that I noticed requires improvement is the bath tub window. It is only half closed, so the water easily splashes out on the floor.
