Victoria part 3? or 4?

Can you handle one more post about Victoria?
The architecture in the Empress Hotel, and in the old part of town was amazing. I love old buildings and antiques. It seems that people used to take so much pride in building things, and put so much detail into their work.
This is the entrance to the Palm Court room...
This is the roof of the Palm Court room. It was simply amazing. One picture taken at night, and the other taken during the day

The spiral staircase in the lobby area of the hotel...
one of the many other staircases in the hotel...
The "hallway" of shops between the hotel and conference centre...
Moldings, light fixtures, and everything were so ornate and beautiful. However, I could have done without the funky carpeting! :-)
