Victoria - Empress Court Hotel (Fairmont Empress) 
Built in 1908 for Canadian Pacific, the Empress Court Hotel on the Inner Harbour is one of Victoria's best-loved landmarks. Like the Château Frontenac in Québec, of which it might be said to be the West Coast counterpart, the Empress Court was designed by architect Francis M. Rattenbury. Entering the vast lobby of this luxurious hotel is like journeying back in the time to before the First World War. "Five o'clock tea", served with great style, is an experience for any visitor.
