Wonderful location and beautiful hotel
plumeria54 (Newport Beach, California) on Dec 06, 2024
What a lovely old hotel. Our room was comfortable, very clean and quiet, and made for a very enjoyable 2 nights. We stayed in a Gold level room which gave us access to the Gold Lounge for breakfast, afternoon snacks, comfortable lounge all day, and a separate check-in area. It was very much worth the little extra in cost. The location is right on the harbor and a short walk to everything we wanted to see. The staff were all helpful and friendly and we would definitely stay there again.
Go for Fairmont Gold if you can afford it!

We have stayed at a number of Fairmont hotels across Canada and our stay at The Empress was the best yet. If you can, splurge and go for the Fairmont Gold option. We found the lounge overlooking the Inner Harbour to be an elegant home away from home. The service at the concierge desk and in the lounge area was impeccable. We felt so welcomed and cared for. Each afternoon we had a feast of beautiful appetizers and drinks. Breakfast in the morning buffet was gourmet as well. Best coffee ever.
