Fairmont Empress & Victoria Conference Centre

VIHSMUN 2027's conference spaces include both the upper and lower level lobbies of the Fairmont Empress, along with the second floor of the Victoria Conference Centre. The upper level lobby of the Empress is connected to the first floor pre-function area of the VCC, where delegates can take the escalator to the second floor meeting spaces. VIHSMUN is not renting the first floor of the VCC, so we ask that delegates be mindful while passing through. More detailed maps outlining the exact rooms VIHSMUN will be using, and the route to the Marriott Inner Harbour will be released soon.
