The Empress Turns 100
Our newspaper today has an article about special teas that will be offered this summer at the majestic Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC, Canada. Because the hotel turns 100 this year, a series of special teas are planned to commemorate this event. A special Centennial Tea will be served each Friday through September 26. This is in addition to the hotel's already popular afternoon tea that is held daily in their lobby. The Centennial Tea is served at 12:30 - 3:30 pm in two intimate locations in the large hotel. A choice of tea in The Empress Harbourside Room with a scenic view of the harbor is available, or tea can be taken in the hotel library with its carved ceilings and ivy-covered windows. The service includes a selection of gourmet sandwiches and pastries, a cup of centennial blend tea and a commemorative gift.

Could you tell me which newspaper the article appeared in?
I would love to have tea at the Empress!
Victoria and Tea Time magazines are hosting their "An Occasion for Tea" at the Empress Hotel August 8-10 this year. I would also love to attend that! LaDonna, you are closer to it, are you going?

I am hoping to fly out to Seattle to visit friends at the end of the summer. It would be wonderful to take the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria and have tea at the Empress. Now, if I can just get everyone on board with the idea!
