The hotel

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!

DO NOT STAY HERE. The hotel has no air conditioning and your room will be 80 degrees F and you will be sweating trying to put on your business suit. It doesn’t matter if you come in winter or summer it’s going to be hot AF in the room due to poor cooling and too much heating. The staff don’t care that the rooms are uncomfortable.

DO NOT STAY HERE. The hotel has no air conditioning and your room will be 80 degrees F and you will be sweating trying to put on your business suit. It doesn’t matter if you come in winter or summer it’s going to be hot AF in the room due to poor cooling and too much heating. The staff don’t care that the rooms are uncomfortable. They advised me to open the window (it only opens one foot wide) and they sent a fan. Which was half broken and just blew the 80 degree air around. This hotel needs a complete renovation and solutions for its HVAC problem. The rooms are also very dated. Saggy mattress. Tiny bathrooms with seemingly 60 year old tubs. Horrible stay I couldn’t wait to leave. Read less

I stayed here during a conference. I got the corner room and it was excellent. Very happy with the friendly staff and quick service. The room, the lobby and hallway were always clean, anything that I requested extra (complimentary) was serviced really fast.

Usually we are Fairmont fans but this Fairmont let’s the brand down. Staff were not as friendly and helpful as at The Chateau, The Empress and the Fairmont Waterfront hotel where we had great experiences. Bathrooms tiny, old and dated. You could have knocked a nail in with the French bread at breakfast as it was so hardly…clearly not fresh.… Read more

Dogs at concierge are cute and give a friendly feel to the place. It’s a great location but we won’t be staying again. Read less

My spouse, young child, and I had a very enjoyable weekend at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. The quality of the room, hotel amenities, food/room service, and hotel location were all excellent.
