Thanks to all the staff of Empress hotel. Staying at Empress was something I have always wanted and having my birthday there was a dream come through. Though I didn't get all the complementary things they promised me over the phone for my birthday(birthday cake, complimentary wine and one other thing) I only got strawberry dipped in chocolate. Hopefully they'll make up for it next time. I remain humble as always. Thanks Empress for hosting us. The high tea was amazing, the kids dinner menu has the best menu. Adult menu was good too. I love the West coast oysters fermented garden hot sauce, mignonette jelly, citrus. Thank you Empress.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay with our small dog. The Fairmont was so accommodating and dog friendly. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy the spa but we did use the pool and gym. Both very nice. Staff was so helpful when we asked about dog-friendly restaurants nearby. They have great recommendations. We will be back.
