Hotel Description:
- During the summer months, The
Fairmont Empress in Victoria, British Columbia serves Afternoon Tea
to more guests than most hotels in London, England. More than 900
people per day come to enjoy a tradition that has been part of the
hotel since it opened in 1908.
- The Fairmont Empress has long been
accustomed to entertaining Hollywood celebrities; Rita Hayworth,
Jack Benny, Pat O'Brien, Douglas Fairbanks, Katherine Hepburn, Bob
Hope, Bing Crosby, Tallulah Bankhead and a host of others have
passed through its lobby. Shirley Temple arrived accompanied by her
parents amid rumours that she had fled from California because of
kidnapping threats, a story borne from the presence of two huge
bodyguards who took the room opposite hers and always left their
door open.
- This is the Mecca, this is
the heart and soul of the city."
Throughout its history, The Fairmont Empress has played host to
kings, queens, movie stars and many famous people. In 1919, Edward,
Prince of Wales, waltzed into the dawn in the Crystal Ballroom - an
event considered by Victorians to be of such importance that almost
50 years later, the obituaries of elderly ladies would appear under
headlines such as, "Mrs. Thornley-Hall Dies. Prince of Wales Singled
Her Out." In 1989, over $45 million was spent in the royal
restoration; all the guest rooms were renovated, and a health club
and indoor swimming pool were added. With an emphasis on
craftsmanship, no attempt was made to give the hotel a new image.
Instead, the goal was to restore The Fairmont Empress to its
original elegance.
