Victoria Empress Hotel Discounts

Posted by Lori Henry Jan 24, 2008

If you visit Victoria, BC, probably the favourite choice for hotels is the Fairmont Empress. Its grandeur typifies the regal air of the capital city and is a chosen location for those wanting a special vacation.

Fairmont Empress Birthday Special

Pricing may be a bit high for some, but this year marks the hotel's 100th birthday and a celebration kicks off this week (the actual birthday date is January 20, 1908). If you book your visit between now and January 31, 2008, you can stay at anytime of this year for $100 CDN per night. This includes breakfast in bed with Royal Tea, oh so Victorian.

If you miss the boat, this same package is available for $269.00 CDN for the rest of the year. You'll be treated to a night in a Fairmont Room, breakfast for two, Royal Tea for two with bubbly (of course), and a copy of the illustrated Fairmont Empress coffee table book.

The Fairmont Empress

While you're there, make sure to seek out the lobby floors, which are sparklingly new oak; there might even be original oak pieces for sale from 100 years ago. The Crystal Room will also be updated and the Willow Stream Spa added in an 8,000 square foot space. Also in the works are the colourful exterior lights that will outshine the imposing brightness of the Legislature Buildings.

You can reserve your room by contacting the Fairmont Empress at 1-800-441-1414.
