Reviews Pacific Palisades Hotel Vancouver

Mar 19, 2010
I have travelled many times to Vancouver on business and have found that hotels tend to over priced. When I switched to leisure travel, I was looking for the same quality, convenience and comfort as the expensive places, but at a more reasonable price. The Pacific Palisades delivers. This was our third visit, and while a little concerned about the change of ownership, my worries turned out to be completely unfounded.
Staff - extremely friendly, courteous and helpful, from the front desk all the way through the organization.
Rooms - very comfortable and well equipped. The decor is somewhat garish for my taste, but the rooms are clean, spacious, and quiet.
Location - shopping, dining and entertainment and sight seeing are very close by. Some excellent restaurants at reasonable prices are a few steps away.
Price - well under the norm for downtown Vancouver

My only criticism is that there is no attached restaurant or bar. But as stated previously, there are many, many establishments close by, so it really isnt a problem.

Although this location has become somewhat inconvenient for our reason for visiting Vancouver, we will put up with the inconvenience and stay there again and again and again.

I've stayed at this hotel three times and each time the experience was different. It has a great location on Robson Street ("the" shopping street in Vancouver with restaurants which stay open later than anywhere else in town), and it's very central: walking distance to English Bay, Gas Town, Stanley Park, or a to the water taxis to Granville Island or the Sea Bus to the north shore. The hotel is nicely done -- with all we've come to expect: a spa and pool, restaurant. I've had a great room, a good room, and an "iffy" room. There are two towers so more rooms than you may realize. Some have great views and are nicely done in a modern way. But some are a little "tired" with "eh" views -- so if you don't like the room you're shown, I'd ask to be moved. In fairness to this hotel, they may be remodeling over time so perhaps there aren't any (or many) "tired" rooms any more?

We had booked this hotel to stay in back in March and upon arriving the hotel staff were most helpful in rearranging the rooms and rates we would be charged. Sadly, this hotel is closing in April 2010, but the good news is that because of this their rates were discounted almost by half of our original quote.
We really enjoyed the space of the deluxe double room, a suite with kitchen - which was pleasantly well set up. The location is excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Vancouver before April. A bouquet to the staff we dealt with as well.

Fabulous Hotel, great location in downtown Vancouver. Just off Robson Road, and minutes to loads of great eating experiences. The breakfast and room deal is well worth it, with the restaurant downstairs serving THE most delicious breakfast! Rooms were great size, and very clean, and the Concierge was extremely helpful.

We stayed from 20 - 23 November before heading up to Whister. The front desk staff were really helpful at all times and one suggesting a store where we could rent a tandem to ride around Stanley Park. Free internet (3 pcs) available in the lobby for 30 minutes if you pre register with a credit card. Only criticism was that the windows were single glazed and the damp weather caused lots of condensation to form on them overnight. They need to consider upgrading to double glazing. Liked the space in the corner suite and the views across to the sea. Continental breakfast good but the same everyday though you could upgrade to a cooked breakfast for a small fee. The swimming pool accessed across the courtyard was quiet and of sufficient size.

My friend and I stayed here for one night in March 2009 and we loved our hotel room. Beds comfy super, clean and quiet. The front desk staff was very helpful. My initial res was for a lower floor room and they had put me on the 14th. When I mentioned this they changed it right away. The complimentary wine was a nice touch when you arrive tired and thirsty. Nice to say in a hotel that looks exactly as represented on the internet. Bravo!

Located on trendy Robson Street , in Downtown Vancouver, the Pacific Palisades Hotel South Beach inspired decor reflects a fun, hip, refreshing attitude towards hospitality. With the hotels highly personalized service for both the business and leisure traveler alike, the hotel provides a unique yet comfortable environment in the heart of Vancouver's shopping district.

I can't say enough about the great experience we had staying here. Location location location. The rooms are not my style, but HUGE. It was like being in an apartment, lots of space, light, amenities and the balcony view was breathtaking. Great central location. The Zin Restaurant food is so-so, but servers were great. Hotel Staff always went out of their way to be accommodating. Our only regret...we stayed somewhere else for our last 2 nights in Vancouver.

Stayed at the Pacific Palisades Hotel for a night and loved it, I will certainly go back when visiting Vancouver.
Loved the free in-room internet access and the rooms had a crazy view on the city! But the best is the location, directly on Vancouver main shopping street, Robson St.
Little downside: My room was located in a different building (40 meters apart) than the main one but it is not that bad. Maybe it's a different story when it rains?
