This just in from @fairmont hotels via Twitter (and why YOU should be on Twitter too!):

Twitter Early Access (in advance of Travelzoo launch on 3/18/09) – $101 room rates at The Fairmont Empress -http://tinyurl.com/empress101

VictoriaBC’s most-photographed hotel, the venerable Fairmont Empress, celebrates 101 years this year but in this economy she’s the one bearing the gifts: until March 24, you can book a room for any time up to December 23, 2009 for just $101 a night, INCLUDING a 15% discount on food, drink and indulgent Willowstream Spa treatments. It doesn’t get better that that–especially if you’re paying in Euros or US dollars.

If you’re tempted, don’t dither. This special package will hit TravelZoo on Wednesday…

    Hi Julie, I just wanted to thank you again for your postings about the local hotel specials.
    I booked the Chateau in Whistler off your advice for an anniversary weekend with my husband
    in September. Today I booked 2 nights in Victoria at the Empress. I am going with a good friend for her birthday.

    I would never have heard of these specials without your postings so I wanted you to know how much I appreciated it.

    Best wishes, Stephanie H.

    We booked my 87 year old Mom into the Empress for two nights this month and also got her on a $95 Westjet seat sale from Calgary direct to Victoria. Such a bargain! Thanx for the tip, Julie.

    Hey Richard, I’m glad it worked out for you and your ol’ ma. Please don’t tell my mom; I don’t know why I didn’t think of that…
