I stayed at the Empress on my honeymoon years ago (like 30). It was a great stay but even then it was expensive so we only spent a night before going someone cheaper (we were in our early 20s). It is pretty though and Victoria is incredibly beautiful. I’m not Canadian and we visited in January and it was still magical.
I agree Victoria is very pretty and we were lucky enough to have perfect weather when we were there. It also has the mildest (but wettest) winters lol. I hope it wasn’t too bad for you when you were there in January.
The harbour in front of the hotel offers a high speed passenger ferry service to Seattle, and a large car/passenger ferry to Port Angeles, Wa. Both, a short walk from the hotel. Few cities in the world offer what Victoria gives. Be sure to check out Butchart Gardens and the Butterfly House.
I took the Ferry from Washington when I moved to BC in 2019. I had everything I owned crammed into my car lol. I do like visiting Victoria and the weather was perfect while I was there 😎
I visit Victoria often and I have always looked at The Embassy and wondered what it would be like to stay there. It’s so Iconic. This time I took the plunge. I enjoyed every minute of it 😊
Thank you very much Nikki! We've decided to chose the gold room after watching you video.
Ooh enjoy your stay. I’m glad the video was helpful. The gold membership definitely has its benefits 😊

Seems like a decent value for what you got. What was the reason for staying there, was it just a recreational visit?

@@RoamingNikki Cool, I'm glad you had a good time.
