Where to Stay in Victoria BC | 9 Best Victoria BC Hotels | Soul Travel
"Best For – The Quintessential Luxury Victoria hotel experience. The ‘Grande Dame’ of Victoria’s hotels and certainly her most iconic, if you’re looking for luxury hotels in Victoria you won’t want to miss the Fairmont Empress. Owned by Canadian chain Fairmont hotels (although recently acquired by the Accor group), the Empress hotel is a slice of Victoria’s history – in fact this is the famous hotel in Victoria, BC. This Edwardian era Chateau is set right on the edge of the inner harbour with views out across Victoria’s waterfront."

Insider's Guide to Best Vegan Restaurants in Victoria, B.C.
"When most people think afternoon-tea, they think fine china, scones, tiny-cucumber sandwiches, and decadent desserts. With butter-filled pastries, this age-old British-tradition might seem far from vegan-friendly, but surprisingly, the Fairmont Empress Hotel is able to accommodate 32 different dietary restrictions (sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan, whatever your heart desires). I highly recommend the Afternoon Tea at the Empress for a special occasion or a girls day out!"

"Dine by candlelight in the romantic, Italian restaurant, Il Terrazzo. With inspiration drawn from northern Italy, menu options include wood-oven roasted meats and pizza, fresh seafood and house-made pasta. There are many options for local fish like the seared scallops, steamed mussels or open-flame-roasted salmon."

Located in the historic Rockland neighbourhood, and nearby the famous Craigdarroch Castle, the Gallery houses over 20,000 pieces of historical and contemporary art and contains a renowned collection of Asian art and artifacts.
