Absolutely perfect from start to finish! This property is incredible. Definitely a must stay in Victoria! The grounds are like castle gardens. Stunning to wander around and smell the roses. Every staff member was so helpful and pleasant to interact with. The amenities were incredible! I am very picky and I loved their rose lotion! Food here is incredible! Our room view was so stunning from our tower suite! You can walk pretty much everywhere from this location! And they will arrange your transportation to any further attractions. The Old Spaghetti Factory is nearby and we highly recommend trying it! Our room was incredible and kept immaculately clean! Room services for meals is precise to your order and right on time! The entire staff goes way above and beyond to make your stay memorable and seamless! You won’t want to leave!

We ate every meal during our stay at the Empress. There is no better and the top highlight is; all 5 of us had the Halibut our last night. That never happens & I may never order Halibut again anywhere else. 😆 The staff at the Empress are the very best any where in the world and I mean every single one of them.

High end hotel BUT there was a step in the room between the main room and the bathroom that is a MAJOR safety issue in use of the bathroom at night- in my mind an otherwise fien hotel deserves a 1/10 for that room
