Review of the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel Vancouver

Jan 30, 2010
The high-end Fairmont hotel group run two excellent hotels in Vancouver but this Waterfront location is the most desirable. Watch cruise ships pull in from your hotel window at this 26-floor, 489-room property overlooking Coal Harbour. It’s walking distance to key downtown spots including the historic Gastown area and Stanley Park, a 1,000-acre park surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean. If watching all those athletes inspires you to work out, the Fairmont’s heated outdoor pool with views of the North Shore Mountains is open year-round.

Stayed on the 15th Floor of this hotel with a partial harbour view. Very comfortable room with all the usual comforts. WiFi was not available although you could use the internet if you had a pc. I only took my iPhone and so would have prefered WiFi access.
Restaurant was very good, the food was delicious and very nicely presented. We had a delicious bottle of Canadian wine from a list that was dominated by wines from BC.
Conveniently located for all public transport this was a good choice of place to stay in the city.
I don't think that there was anything that I did not like about it.

Room was clean and a good size, nice view. Decor is sort of dated...doesn't look like they've changed much since it was built. We got a corporate rate and felt it was fair, not sure I'd want to pay full price. Excellent location- walking distance to everything, although we didnt walk much as they provided us with a chauffeured car at no cost, we were spoiled! I guess the guy had no bookings that evening so they gave us the car and driver when we asked for a cab. Nice upgrade! Only major complaint was the hot water in our room was lukewarm at best, although that must have been a localized problem as our friends in the adjacent room had hot water so we showered there in the morning.

Good location, friendly and helpful staff. Rooms generously sized and very clean. Lobby bar/restaurant good for eating alone or meeting clients. Good business center.

I've been traveling for years on business, and the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel in Vancouver strikes me as the standard business-class hotel. Typical furnishings that are of a nice quality, nice towels, etc.
Room service was tasty and quick, but pricey (typical for room service, though!). The restaurant downstairs served a nice breakfast, and I was seated by the fireplace. The lobby and restaurant overlook the waterfront so it was a nice, cozy morning.
My room did not have a water view, rather, it overlooked the city. Obviously I would have preferred the water view, but it didn't really bother me too much.
It was pretty quiet, I don't recall hearing other guests, but I did hear the elevator some, but not enough for me to ask for a different room. The bed and linens were very comfortable.
Most of the time when I went by the concierge desk there was no one there. I had to stand around a while 2-3 times waiting for someone to help me.
The location was nice, you can walk along the seawall all the way to Stanley Park. The conference center and cruise ship terminal are literally steps across the street. There is a food court in the basement complete with a mini-mall and post office.
Overall, if I were paying out of my own pocket, I'd probably opt for a cheaper hotel in the area, but for business travelers you will find it to be sufficient for your needs.

The Fairmont Waterfront is a contemporary hotel on the waterfront in Vancouver, BC. Most rooms have great views of the bay. It is within walking distance from most of the tourist spots, shopping and restaurants, but it is located a little off the main routes. This affords you a little peace and quite, but results in a little longer walk to most sites.
The Hotel is modern and very well appointed. The lobby is tasteful and the staff is friendly and professional. Breakfast was served in the hotel restaurant with great views and terrific food. Again, the staff was quick, friendly and professional. Each employee with whom I dealt knew the hotel, the area and was openly willing to help.
The rooms were very comfortable and our room had a great view of the bay. It was large and very tastefully appointed. The bathroom was large and two people could easily function in it.
Overall, I had a great experience at the Fairmont Waterfront. The Hotel is very well appointed, the staff is extremely helpful and professional and the location is very good.
