Top hotels in Inner Harbour
Fairmont Empress
"The high tea was good. The small flute of champagne was oversold and terribly overpriced as about $50 per glass with tax. We felt conned. Victoria has many great restaurants. Stay away from the empress. The gym was microscopic. Zero stars. Great location 😎"
