Fairmont Empress
A beautiful hotel with a rich history! You can't beat the view of the harbor and location for activities. Plus, the Visitor's Center, harbor taxies and tour busses are all within a block. The staff was so friendly and professional. The rooms were awesome, with great beds and pillows. My only complaint ...

The Magnolia Hotel and Spa
The rooms are super clean, and well appointed. The bathroom has a separate very large and deep tub. With spray nozzles to rinse with. The coffee markers were both drip and pods, and the hair dryer was a dyson. They even had both an iron and a clothes steamer.
