Known as Canada’s Castle on the Coast, Fairmont Empress has stood over Victoria BC’s sparkling Inner Harbour since 1908.

The stunning hotel has been recognized as one of the Top 21 Iconic Hotels in the World by National Geographic, and received Travel + Leisure Magazine’s World’s Best Award for Top 3 City Hotels in Canada. Fairmont Empress is also regarded as a Condé Nast Readers Choice and Gold List Hotel. It’s where modern meets iconic.

And this New Year, a one-night stay for two in a Fairmont Gold Room at Fairmont Empress — including Afternoon Tea — is up for grabs. In honour of the hotel’s 115th anniversary, they’ve even upgraded the Fairmont Gold experience, creating a hotel-within-a-hotel experience. Between the modern upscale design, private Gold Lounge, daily complimentary breakfast, all-day snacks and evening canapés, and the quintessentially Victorian tradition offered at the Lobby Tea Lounge, this winner is in for some next-level luxury.
