Where to stay w/late arrival into Victoria Airport? One that won't delay us too much for next day's plans... ;-)

Love the tea discourse! 
Actually, I believe we tried the White Heather on a prior visit. (if it's in an outlying area...quiet little 'village' almost?)
Haven't done Empress in years. I think last time we did it, it was in the 30's. High then, but not like today! (and I believe they did more
'courses' then, as I did return once w/friends, and it had gotten smaller)
Not that I mind less food, esp. if you're just paying tons for food you couldn't possibly eat.
I swear (unless I'm royally confused) that last time we were there (2001) the Bengal room was still closed. (or am I dreaming?) Is that the cool-looking bar w/fans overhead. (or similar?)
If IT'S open, I'd love to try that then for dinner if they have curry.
Any vegetarian curries?
Looking forward to it & will have to seriously consider Murchies then!
Isn't that the tea brand that the Empress serves anyway? (or again, perhaps confused) ;-)

Hello again
Yes the Bengal Lounge has a dinner curry buffet as well and they do have vegetable curries. Friday and Saturday night they have their "Death by Chocolate" Buffet as well.
You are right that the Empress used to have a special blend made for them by Murchies but they have changed their tea supplier so it is a different blend.
