There is frequent public transportation from downtown and the Empress to UVic:
Route 4
Route 14
Important: Sunday Oct. 8th also happens to be the Royal Victoria Marathon so make sure you check the bus detours posted on the webpage above. These are the two easiest routes. The staff at the Empress will also be able to help you with arranging for a taxi which would be quite affordable when shared between 2-4 people.

Fairmont Empress Hotel

FAIRMONT EMPRESS HOTEL

The hotel is one of the landmarks of Victoria and staying there is a great and unique experience. The room rates we have negotiated are very competitive and we are confident that it is a superb location to host ISMIR. Almost all ISMIR activities will take place in the hotel facilities allowing more time for interaction and socializing. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to visit beautiful Victoria.
