The Empress

The entrance to the Empress hotel in Victoria BC.

 

"The Fairmont Empress, formerly and commonly referred to as The Empress, is one of the oldest hotels in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Opened on 20 January 1908, the Chateauesque-styled building was designed by Francis Rattenbury for Canadian Pacific Hotels as a terminus hotel for Canadian Pacific's steamship line, whose main terminal was just a block away.

 

The hotel was named for Queen Victoria, who was also Empress of India.

 

The Empress includes 464 guest rooms and suites spread throughout the hotel building." Wikipedia

 

The Inner Harbor is just across the street behind where I was standing.

 

Thanks for taking a look!
