A veritable castle in the heart of the city, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is an impeccable symbol of indulgence and pedigree. Offering the luxury and services of a world-class hotel, all guest rooms are beautifully furnished with every attention to detail observed. Facilities include a state-of-the-art health club, accessible 24-hours a day, with indoor heated swimming pool and saunas. Pilates and Yoga classes are available at the Sitka Studios or treat yourself to some well-deserved pampering at the Absolute Spa. There’s also some prime shopping in the lobby with designers stores selling plenty to tempt you! Although you’re close to plenty of restaurants and bars in the downtown area, the Fairmont’s very own Notch8 Restaurant & Bar is the ideal place to relax and watch the world pass by. Named after a train’s top speed, achieved only by the most skilled conductors, the restaurant pays homage to the hotel’s storied history and legacy as a luxury hotel along the Canadian Pacific railway. A traditional afternoon tea is also served here daily — for a special occasion, add a glass of champagne or, if the kids want to tag along, childish delights include Bubblegum Tea, fresh strawberries and cream and a giant chocolate chip cookie!

I have always loved staying at this hotel. The great location, history and beautiful rooms stand out above other Vancouver hotels. What truly sets this hotel apart is the employees and the excellent service they provide. In particular, Diana at the front desk is a stand out star. She was caring, extremely helpful and recognized the special reason for our visit to celebrate my retirement. People like Diana are what make this hotel truly special and the only hotel I will stay at in Vancouver.

We are repeat customers at this hotel as the location is amazing, but this was the first time staying on a gold floor and what a treat that was. As the weather outside was frightful, we found ourselves staying inside the hotel more and enjoyed hanging out in our spacious room and the welcoming lounge complete with drinks and delicious snacks. We also enjoyed a swim in the indoor pool. We had a fabulous stay. Thanks Fairmont!

It’s a grand hotel, but the staff set it apart, especially those at the concierge desk. Top notch! Our room, a twin queen suite was perfect. The gym was a surprise, better equipped than most hotel gyms. All in all you’d be pressed to find a more enjoyable experience in the city.
Lovely rooms, good location

Check in and check out was very easy. We ordered room service food one night and it came quickly and was delicious.
The hotel is central to lots of Vancouver cafes, Resturant and attractions.
We were leaving on a cruise from this hotel and could easily walk the couple of blocks from the hotel to the cruise terminal with our luggage.
Only very small downside we had was that service was really slow when we had breakfast in the hotel Resturant on one of the mornings. The food was lovely but we just had a bit of a wait for it.
