Victoria.
Didn't the Empress used to be covered in Ivy? Looks like she's freshly reno'd. Did they have to strip the ivy to fix the stonework?

Envious. I lived in Victoria for a long time and worked at the Union Club (adjacent to The Empress on Gordon St). I'd love to visit again.

I stayed at the Empress in 79 or 80. I don't remember it being Ivey covered. I do remember the food was to die for.

From wiki...
Much of the building's exterior brick was covered in an overgrowth of ivy, until renovations from 2014 to 2017 saw the bricks repointed and the ivy removed.
