Welcome:
Step into another era at Victoria’s stately and elegant Fairmont Empress. This “grand hotel” situated harborside in British Columbia’s historic capital city on Vancouver Island offers refined traditions such as Afternoon Tea, a soothing spa, and convenient access to quaint shops, ocean vistas, and a host of cultural and recreational pursuits.
You Are Here:
Drive south on Hwy 17 about half an hour from Victoria International Airport (YYJ). Alternatively, car ferries arrive at Swartz Bay, 20 miles north of Victoria, from Tsawwassen, on the BC mainland, or in Victoria's Inner Harbour from Port Angeles, WA.
Treat Yourself:
The Willow Stream Spa at The Fairmont Empress is a sanctuary of renewal that reflects the gracious spirit and energy of this classic hotel. A calming waterfall invites guests to experience the healing waters of the thermal mineral pool. This is a place of tranquility, awakening images of calm tidal pools and expansive West Coast skies. From the Balance Body experience to the Rose Renewal, treatments draw on the healing power of natural ingredients. Facilities include a full-service salon, fitness services and a shop showcasing Willow Stream’s signature products.
You Deserve:
The Island Senses - Rejuvenate. Your island experience begins with an ocean arrival - an invigorating Salt of the sea body scrub for exfoliation. An aromatic pine hydrotherapy bath follows. Next, experience the invigoration and earthy aroma of walking and hiding trails - through a detoxifying mud wrap. At last, enjoy a restoring and healthy lavender massage, drawn from the gentle lavender fields of Victoria. Your senses will be delighted as energy is restored.
Stay & Play:
The majestic Fairmont Empress, “jewel of the Inner Harbour,” offers 477 luxuriously appointed guest rooms and suites with city, courtyard or harbor views. A memorable dining experience awaits, from the refined English ritual of Victoria Afternoon Tea to the famous curry buffet of the Bengal Lounge to the award-winning food and wine in The Empress Room. Visiting Butchart Gardens or the nearby legislative buildings, whale watching, world-class golf and the Royal BC Museum are just a few of the countless experiences to enhance your stay. The hotel has a fully equipped gym, indoor heated pool and whirlpool area. An on-site business center is open 24 hours.
