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!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a lovely hotel in Vancouver, and it was quite a delightful experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff always ready to help. My room was comfy and clean, offering a stunning view of the city. The amenities were top-notch, making my stay enjoyable. However, I felt the breakfast could’ve been a little better, as it was a bit limited. Overall, I would recommend this place

We were looking forward to the stay here, however, we left feeling like there were a number of areas where the hotel could have lived up to its $500NZD price tag per night. Starting with the check in lady who never cracked a smile, then the really soft beds, the big tear in the carpet in our room, and the small and dirty bathroom with the shower…

We were looking forward to the stay here, however, we left feeling like there were a number of areas where the hotel could have lived up to its $500NZD price tag per night. Starting with the check in lady who never cracked a smile, then the really soft beds, the big tear in the carpet in our room, and the small and dirty bathroom with the shower caddy sitting at a height suitable for someone who was 7ft 6. The breakfast was nice, although they takes ages to process you at the front desk, then it's unclear what you can amd can't order (we had three different people tell us three different things with three different prices on the bill each day). We love the Fairmont hotel chain and have stayed at a range of them, however this one, wasn't one of their best. The highlight...the concierge and bell desk staff were great.

Amazing stay here. Rooms were quiet, clean and absolutely beautiful. Great location and felt safe. Staff was attentive with great personalities - I can’t express how much I appreciated the staff at all interactions! 100% would recommend.
Great Location

We stayed here Jan 17-20, location is in the Middle easy to walk to Stanley park, waterfront also closer to station. We took a day pass which was very easy to go around from here. Appreciate the hotel look specially older look and photograph frames along the wall.

For Fairmont standard few things were missing, shower could be better. Pool area under construction which is understandable but pool wasn’t clean. Also no drinking water in the room when we arrived, I have to go and ask. One night decided to watch TV but had to move a bit, noticed lot of dust behind 🤧. I was told during check in I was given an upgrade to deluxe room but didn’t feel that way😢. I wasn’t offered GOLD level. As a GOLD member room didn’t impress me! I wasn’t even offered to stay in GOLD level.
Nick and team from concierge desk very helpful, thanks! Also Srijan and Brianna from front desk friendly service. When we arrived via uber staff at the door very helpful by opening door for us to the building.
Raluca and Adam from Notch8 amazing service. Raluca even greeted us by saying our name. Went for breakfast twice because of the quality also to bar where we met Adam who was amazing!
When you stay here also try cafe club which closer to Fairmont, amazing food,price and excellent service!
