The Fairmont Empress turned 100 years old on Jan. 20, 2008 but the grande dame of Vancouver Island is showing no signs of slowing down. 

To celebrate her milestone, if you book a room for the coming year, you can get the Deal of a Century package: Fairmont room for two for only $100. You just need to reserve it by January 31, 2008.

Another fun package is Breakfast in Bed with Royal Tea, available through 2008. It includes overnight accommodation, breaky for two, Royal Tea for two (including bubbly) and a copy of the newly updated Fairmont Empress coffee table book. The rate is $269 for double occupancy.
