We visit Victoria at least once a year, and normally stay at The Empress. A co-worker told me, "If you like the Empress, you need to check-out the Oak Bay Beach Hotel." He was right. Though the Empress has history, the Oak Bay Beach has luxury, pampering, ambience, great food, spotless rooms. And they are pet-friendly. We'll be back! CON: The ramps serving the parking levels are >>extremely<< dangerous! The arrows point the wrong way. (In North America, we drive on the right-hand side of the road -- the arrows on the ramps have you driving on the left side!!!) Once off of the ramps, you are driving on the right-hand side again. During my stay, I watched at least one or two "near-misses" every day. You don't want to spoil your luxury resort vacation with a car accident. Take it VERY slow, expect any oncoming traffic to do the "wrong" thing, and you should be OK.

We love this place and have visited at least 8 times. Only complaint/issue this visit was the housecoats the hotel provides. There was a used bandaid stuck to the fabric in one of the pockets. Bit un-nerving.

My corporate WiFi never works in this facility, always works at the Grand Pacific. Really limited tv channels. Would be nice to get CNBC? They used to have water in the lobby and they would put fruit (lemon/ lime) in the container, nice touch …. Just plain water now…. And really miss the steam room, sauna not the same. I keep coming back, but it’s not as good as a couple years ago. Thanks
