If my memory serves me correctly this glass roofed area used to be a small conservatory stuffed full of tropical plants and trees. Now it serves as the connecting link between the hotel and the Victoria Conference Centre, a large complex that was added to The Empress when it was last renovated in 1989. The building known as Crystal Pool, on the other side of Douglas Street is also a part of this complex. We'll have a look at the conference centre and its great collection of totem poles next week.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

A rather nice spot to wander through. I look forward to more.
The Empress is so beautiful inside.
We really enjoyed walking through the Empress when we visited Victoria. Lots of changes to see the next time we are there.
