Empress Hotel, Canada

This beautiful hotel was built in 1908 and has entertained royalty and movie stars too numerous to mention. In 1989 $45 million was spent to totally renovate this glorious old building into one of the stars of the Fairmont luxury hotel chain. The main dining room is called the " Empress Room " and has 10 metre high ceilngs all wooden and decoratively carved.

We had just been to a "Titanic" exposition at the local museum and Imax theatre when we dropped in to have a look and noticed they were having a "Titanic" reproduction dinner so of course we stayed.
