The Empress, Victoria
The exterior of this castlelike
hotel is extremely imposing. It
allows us to question the fact if
commoners like ourselves are
even fit to be inside the
grand Empress. However, do
not be intimidated, because
this place is one of the most
visited hotels in Victoria.
A large number of people
come here to take part in the
afternoon tea ritual. There are
several rooms, and in order to
be in the more exquisite room, a reservation is suggested. Because of the large quantity of
quests, the sandwiches tend to be cut in a hurry. But overall, it was a very pleasant afternoon
tea experience.
Do not forget to buy the Empress's special blend of tea in the lobby's guest shop. In addition,
the hotel still uses the original tea china pattern which was originally presented to King George
V in 1914. The pattern is now produced by Royal Doulton exclusively for The Empress. It is
available to purchase in the lobby as well. The Empress is located in Victoria's inner harbor.
Crumpets are served with afternoon tea at The Empress daily. To make reservations, call
(250)-389-2727.
