Fairmont Empress Fairmont Empress opened its doors in 1908 and has been an elegant staple (贸易中心) in the downtown core since day one. It remains one of the top hotels in Victoria. That means it isn’t exactly budget-friendly, so if you’d prefer to skip the tea and just stop into the hotel for a drink another time of day, that’s welcome too. Castles Craigdarroch Castle was built in 1890 by coal baron (大亨) Robert Dunsmuir. The stunning Victorian building features stained-glass windows, beautiful woodwork, and great views of the area. Another castle on Vancouver Island is Hatley Castle, which was built in 1908 and the grounds feature over 15 kilometers of walking trails, a First Nations historical site, and a bird preserve.

Victoria Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, was founded in 1843 and is a hub of Canadian history. While in the heart of the city, explore Bastion Square (shops, restaurants, and bars galore), take a walk through Fan Tan ALley, which lays claim to being Canada’s narrowest street, or take a tour. 1.What might prevent visitors having tea at Fairmont Empress?
