Fairmont Hotel Vancouver “Classic grande dame, smack central to business
and shopping.”—Carolyn Ali. The copper-topped roof is a hallmark feature
on the Vancouver skyline; carved gargoyles peer down from exterior
walls; 556 rooms of all shapes and sizes; excellent downtown location,
walking distance to Robson Street and Canada Place. 900 W. Georgia

Great suites, amazing views and professional staff. You will not be
disappointed!
Situated in the center of the Downtown area the location is perfect for
bars, food and shopping with one of Vancouver's biggest malls (The
Pacific Center) across the street.
Recreationally you are about a 10 min walk from the cost and around 20
mins from Stanley Park.
Expect rain in the winter months and a more temperate climate in spring
and summer.

Didn't really care that the room decor was out dated. The bed is
extremely comfortable, bathroom was clean and luxurious, and most of all
it's right in the centre of downtown Vancouver!

This was our first ever trip to Canada and what a beautiful place to end
up spending our 3 nights in! Wonderful staff, central location,
beautiful and comfortable room.
If you are up for some walking, Stanley Park is about 7 blocks away and
is a wonderful place to spend the day. Also there are wonderful
restaurants within a few minutes walk. Our personal favorite was a
little Italian place called Ballagio cafe. They were excellent for
breakfast lunch or dinner, we had all three there!

Lovely hotel in downtown Vancouver - great for business or sightseeing /
visiting Vancouver
Comparable to four seasons nearby in amenities with more reasonable
pricing
Some really great things about the hotel:
- Nice swimming pool on roof of 2nd floor
- You can bring your dog with you
- Great location
- Joining their frequent guest program gets you free wifi
- They provide bicycles to tour the city on request
Food is nice and the hotel is elegant and stylish in a turn of the
century style

We spent a night at the hotel after flying into Coal Harbour. It was a
simple walk up to the hotel from the waterfront. The staff were great;
they saw that we had kids and made sure that we ordered milk and cookies
before bed time. Also, ordered a couple of great pizzas from room
service. Would happily stay there again.

The Fairmont provided an excellent and spacious room. Initial and final opinions
were marred by poor interpersonal skills by the people in reception, a one-off
given that we found Canadians to be the friendliest and most polite people on
earth. The Fairmont was in the heart of the city. The room was exceedingly
spacious, comfortable and classy, but sensor detectors in the fridge, to detect
any movement of contents and an automatic bill whether opened or used or not,,
rendered one disinclined to even look for milk for a cup of tea. Constant
interruptions by staff knocking on the door during the day were also annoying.

The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is a uniquely elegant hotel, and one of the former
Canadian Pacific hotel masterpieces. The hotel was excellent, rooms clean, and
everything as expected. Although the hotel's standard rates are high, the hotel
website offers a number of reasonable rates. If you want a unique hotel
experience in Vancouver, try the Fairmont.

We stayed there in August 2009. It was a really nice hotel but i have no idea
how much it cost. It was part of the Rocky Mountaineer Gold Leaf package which
included a free night there. We were in room 657 on 6th floor. The room did have
an incredibly small window but was a really large room with really good air con
and comfortable bed.
The Swimming pool was ok but the photos do flatter the reality.
Remember to take your room key and dressing gown when you go to the swimming
pool. The changing rooms are very nice with lockers with towels. The gym is ok
with a few running machines but nothing spectacular
There is a small area to sit outside amongst the skyscrapers which is nice with
great views.
The main hotel lobby is beautiful and the hotel itself is in a really nice part
of downtown with lovely shops / bars etc. if you want a cool little bar nearby,
try the cactus club only 100m from the hotel. There are 4 exits so not sure
which one we took.
There are apparently free mountain bikes but we were not there long enough to
use.
One small complaint is that there are no tea making facilities. apart from that
it was a lovely hotel.

1 night couples leisure visit. Loved it
Gorgeous lobby & common areas. From the outside, the hotel also looks old-world
beautiful.
2pm Check-in was a breeze at the desk. No wait, and service with a smile.
Concierge also very helpful RE: restaurants. Couldn't have been smoother. Great
location right in the heart of downtown Vancouver, near the best shopping and
some good restaurants. Room bathroom was spotless, and Miller Harris amenities
were very appreciated. Room itself was also very well cleaned. Housekeeping here
appears to be quite good
cleaned very well, the room itself was like a Victorian bed and breakfast with a
flat-screen TV, which appeared to be the only modern furnishing.

Great location in the heart of downtown Vancouver + excellent, attentive staff
that cater to your every whim (and offer good recommendations too) + spacious,
spotless room + attractive off-season rates = a great 3 day stay in 1 of the
world's most attractive cities. Would definitely recommend both (and go back of
course ;-)

This place was amazing. I have stayed at many Fairmont hotels for pleasure and
business and they are great properties!! Specifically about this location
though, the service was top notch some of the best I've ever had. Our concierge
made numerous reservations for us and steered us in all the right directions to
make our 2 day stay in such a fantastic city memorable and wanting me to go back
for more. The rooms are elegant and very classy as is the entire ambience of the
hotel. If you're looking for something a little more upper scale this Fairmont
is definitely worth it!

We arrived in my son's 12 year old car. The doorman took one look at us, clearly
decided "No tip there" and proceeded to ignore us and our luggage. Things could
only improve from there. Our room, on the fifth floor was fine, clean and
comfortable. On our second day we had a problem using the key cards. On
contacting reception we found that our two night booking was under two separate
references which was why our cards had been canceled. This was corrected with a
minimum of fuss. My major gripe about this hotel was the fees they wanted to
charge for everything - fees for car parking, fees for internet usage, $8 for a
bottle of water in the room. Fees for all the things that I thought should have
been included. In the time we were there we did not buy as much as a cup of tea
in the hotel. Far too expensive when there were any number of bars/restaurants
nearby. Overall I thought that this hotel was a bit too aware that it was a
'grand' hotel
