"My wife and I spent a night here to celebrate our anniversary, and the Fairmont Empress did not disappoint. The property perfectly blends historic, classic charm with modern luxury. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—the staff went above and beyond to make our stay feel special.
Our room was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and beautifully appointed. A real highlight of the evening was visiting Q at the Empress; the cocktail menu, atmosphere, and service at Q Bar are exceptional and made our celebration feel even more exclusive. You truly can't beat the location right on the Inner Harbour. It was the perfect backdrop for a memorable anniversary getaway, and we will definitely be back."
"The location was very central- you can walk everywhere. The staff were very friendly and accommodating- no free breakfast, but good food at Ruby’s - which is within the building."
"The hotel is located not far from downtown, which is very convenient. The room is clean, the bed is comfortable. The pool, sauna, and jacuzzi are all excellent. It would be even better if parking was free for hotel guests and there were bottles of drinking water in the room."
"This place was great other than getting there late and having no staff to greet us. It was a bit concerning to be honest. Doors are locked at night but there is no security working at night.
Otherwise it was a great spot. The town is beautiful and very safe. Very walkable."
"Great location next to BC parliament and inner harbor. Staff were especially helpful in providing a breakfast to go box when we had to leave early before normal breakfast setup."
