Scope and content
- Canadian Pacific Hotels was a division of Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) that operated a series of hotels across Canada. The Empress Hotel, the CPR's world-famous hostelry at Victoria, British Columbia, officially opened on January 20, 1908. Additional wings have since been added, the latest in 1929. Although a candidate for demolition in the sixties, it has been refurbished and restored to its pre-war elegance.
