  1. Fairmont Empress

    The Empress commands Victoria's Inner Harbour as a National Historic Site has since 1908, its Edwardian grandeur now refreshed through a sweeping renovation that preserved the eccentric spirit of its past. Winston Churchill drank brandy from a teapot here; today guests arrive for the same mixture of theatrical history and genuine luxury.
