The Empress is nice, but very antiquey. Older people tend to prefer it, but younger people kind of find it outdated.
For something more modern the Laurel Point is fabulous. Try to book the honeymoon suites or the Penthouse for a double jacuzzi tub to die for and wrap around views of the harbour

The Fairmont Empress is by far the most prestigious and traditional hotel in Victoria. It is a great location for tourist activities and a great view of the Parliament Buildings and Inner Harbour. Don't forget the afternoon tea, a Victoria tradition.
Other options are Laurel Point Inn and the Coast Victoria Harbourside Hotel.

There is a hotel right in downtown Victoria called the Empress that I once had tea and it was reall nice inside. It's a Fairmont Hotel.

The Empress is the place to be seen and to be able to say you stayed in. Right at the heart of town it appears on most of the pictures of the city centre. Old-style luxury from another era. And of course that's what makes Victoria special -- it doesn't really belong in North America and it doesn't really belong in the 21st Century. It's a sort of transplant from late 19th Century England.

History wise, I have to say the Empress - even if you do not stay there, stop by and go down stairs to the archives and read the histpry of the hotel. Very interesting.
We used to stay there but have to say Laurel Point is our prefered hotel now. Both are expensive but worth it.
