Stayed there for nine evening with my families. We had a room on 35th floor. The view from the balcony was excellent. We could oversee the downtown and the ocean.
No one could go inside the hotel unless they had a electronic key cards to access the evaluator.
A lof of restaurants nearby, such as Japanese food, Korean food, Blenz Coffee, Starbucks and so on. Two blocks away, you could find the Safeway supermarket and 7-eleven.
There was a bus station in front of the hotel; and we went to other places by taking the bus and then transferred via the subway. The bus number 5 could bring you to the downtown within 5-10 mins.
If you don't want to take the bus, you could walk to the downtown area with 5-10 mins. There were a lot of shops, restaurtants and drug stores nearby. Very safe to walk alone even after nine. I found many students taking their dinner around that area during the lunch time; and tourists & local people for the dinner.
No need to take the breakfast at the Cloud restaurant inside the hotel although it was located on the top floor in which you could oversee the city view, there were many restaurants nearby.
I went there via the airport express skytrain and then bus number 5; and I found there was no problem for us at all.

My first impression while squeezing through a dirty, narrow corridor from the urine smelling parkade was not very good. Then there was the 10 minute wait to check in. And the size of the room was smaller than usual. But it was fine after that. We had a standard room with king size bed on NYE.
Pros: Great view; good rate for a downtown hotel; good location (on Robson which is full of designed and other shops and plenty of restaurants, and a few minutes from Stanley Park); extremely comfortable bed with down-like comforter and plush pillows; clean enough for an old hotel; mini fridge and usual in room amenities; can control heat/a/c; good water pressure; real balconies (so can open door); lifts are fast; restaurant has the best views in the city; reception does provide needed info (although this makes it slow to check in); have express checkout drop box.
Cons: Small rooms; not enough receptionists for busy times and they have little decision making discretion so must check with the manager for even small things; very dodgy parking area (I would not want to be there alone) and they specified 4 times to not leave valuables in the car so I would wonder how secure it is; limited restaurant hours (closed after 10 am until dinner); no hut tub!
I wish I could give a better review as this is a "landmark". I would go there again if the price was right b/c the beds are great and that is the main thing you need. If you want a hotel room to spend time in, I would go elsewhere.

I booked a deluxe room at this hotel. As a returning traveler to downtown VC, I read a few reviews, searched the web and booked the room. On arrival, parking at the hotel was probably the weirdest experience of any. The under ground parking was in the wackiest location. The room was like the rest of the hotel, like a drabby, old under cared for operation. Must have been low on welcome baskets..
What a dismal dismal place...not coming back here anytime soon. This place is good for that unassuming Asian tourist that seemed to be in ample supply looking to make the best of it as well.

The hotel is very good as far as comfort and food offerings, the rotating restaurant is awesome at night. you can walk from here to many many places so locations is good
Room Tip: try to get a high level room for a better view

Location and price were spot on really, very convenient. Rooms were fine overall - we were there to sleep and nothing else although they need a bit of attention - the furnishings in the bathroom were the worst of the lot. Room Tip: Rooms high up have some nice views of the park and the bay, especially if you get good sunsets

The location is convenient to downtown which is walk able. Gaslight District is a trek, but also doable on foot. Views from the upper floors are spectacular, especially the northwest side. Sliding glass doors and small balconies. Mini-fridge. Bed was OK, not great. Amenities were minimal. The property is old and in need of some serious refurbishing. HVAC is finicky. Furnishings are showing wear. However, prices are quite reasonable and the staff very accommodating. The rather conventional breakfast buffet in the revolving restaurant on the 42 floor was enhanced by a look down at the Vancouver skyline. Lots of other hotels in the area, but none with a view to match so long as you get a room on the higher floors.

We always take the train up from Seattle every fall, and stay at the Empire Landmark. In the downtown of Vancouver it stands alone to the west, so there is an unobstructed view of the city lights, the harbors and ocean, Stanley Park, and the mountains. They offer good off-season rates, are in walking distance to shopping and restaurants, and the city has an excellent transit system.

Room Tip: We pay a little extra for the deluxe room (well worth it), and ask for the highest room possible. The north side is my favorite, but the south side offers a fantastic view of English Bay and sunsets.

We stayed at the Empire Landmark during the first weekend of November. It is located on Robson Street - a great location for walking to shops, restaurants and the convention centre. Short cab ride to BC Place or a good walk.
First room that was given was old and tired - we requested a better room - updated and renovated - and were relocated to the 35th floor. Lovely big room with a seating area and a king size bed. Could have used a mirror in the bedroom area and towel racks in the bathroom, though! Very pleased that we were not even charged extra for the better room!
We ate once at the Cloud 9 restaurant - buffet breakfast was just okay - really not worth $16.95.
We did have a fridge in our room so walked down to Whole Foods and stocked up for the next morning.
Overall, a good stay with a great location. Front desk staff very helpful. I would definitely stay again in an updated room.
