Remarkable stay at the legendary Empress!!
H2782JBkennethc (Miami, Florida) on Dec 20, 2024
We had a truly amazing stay at this legendary hotel in the center of Victoria! Check in was an ease as we booked Gold Rooms! We were given a brief tour of the new Gold lounge by reception which is newly renovated and it’s spectacular. Keeping with the ole world charm but updated with modern amenities, we spent a lot of time there. The design is remarkable especially the exposed steel girders encased in glass. We did a little research and learnt that a local artisan contractor Corey did the work. The whole hotel is beautifully decorated and designed. The rooms are comfortable and balance of old and new, nothing of the historical significance is lost!! The staff is always so helpful and afternoon tea a must!
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.
