An iconic hotel in Victoria was just featured on "Jeopardy!"
One of Victoria’s most iconic hotels was mentioned thanks to a clue on the hit trivia show Jeopardy!. Contestants were asked to name the Canadian city that has the historic Empress Hotel, which opened in 1908.
Located in Victoria’s famous Inner Harbour, the Fairmont Empress is known locally and globally as the magical harbourfront hotel with stunning architecture and a particularly famous traditional afternoon tea.
The contestant’s correct answer was worth $1,200; so, worth a few nights stay at the hotel.
