The Empress

[edit]
  • I moved the article to "The Empress (Hotel)", as Wikipedia:Naming conventions encourages the use of the most commonly used name (not necessarily the corporate name), and to be consistent with most of articles on the other famous railway hotels in Canada (most of which do not use "Fairmont" in the article title, except the Palliser and the Royal York). This hotel is famous across the country (and the world) as "The Empress", not the "Fairmont Empress" (despite the efforts of the fine folks in the Fairmont marketing department). The Fairmont monicker is fairly recent, and given recent takeover talk surrounding the Fairmont chain, may be a mere blip in this hotel's existence. Skeezix1000 13:25, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does the Empress still display memorabilia of Rudyard Kipling's visit which remained at least till the 1980s? Masalai (talk) 08:31, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The seagull story

[edit]

I don't think this is encyclopedic, but it may be responsible for a spike in views and is a fun read: Katie DeRosa (1 April 2018). "Lifetime ban from Empress for pepperoni seagull fiasco has been lifted". The Times Colonist. ... although there is of course a faint possibility it is an April Fool's story.
