721 Government Street
The crown jewel of Victoria BC, the chateau style Empress Hotel was opened in 1908 with a commanding view of the inner harbor and has been a major reason that so many visit the area ever since. It currently boasts 477 rooms, 4 restaurants, and at least one lounge. If you have as much money in your wallet that my house is worth, they also have jewelry and clothing stores. The woodworking is amazing and the staff was excellent, even to the oaf who was wearing a t-shirt from a local pub. :-)
for those who haven't seen it, I'll put a shot of the lounge in comments, loved my time there, just beautiful. :-)
