The hotel

The Fairmont couldn’t be more convenient placed for travellers, its right inside the airport! Don’t let the thought of noisy planes put you off though, it’s completely soundproof ensuring a peaceful stay in the height of luxury. You don’t even need a shuttle bus; the lobby extends right onto the concourse, the first hotel in Canada to do so! World-class amenities include a state-of-the-art health club with indoor swimming pool, a children’s wading pool and saunas. There is also the Absolute Spa offering a whole range of treatments to effectively combat jetlag — perfect for those who want to be on top form right from the word ‘go’! Dining is also a treat at the Fairmont with the award-winning Globe at YVR Restaurant not to be missed. What’s more, children 5 years and under eat free in the restaurant with children between 6 and 12 years half price! The Jetside Bar is also very popular and make sure you indulge in afternoon tea, a great tradition at the Fairmont with specially-blended teas and a delicious variety of house-made cakes and pastries.

My wife and I stayed here for one night before returning to UK. We opted for the gold executive lounge floor, on the 14th floor, as a treat. This included access to the lounge. We were able to check in an hour early and shown to the lifts. The room was spacious with airport views and a telescope. We did not hear the noise of the planes. We really enjoyed watching the planes landing and sometimes taking off. The bathroom was an irregular hexagonal shape, with a separate toilet. There was a walk-in shower, spa bath, many towels and rose toiletries. There was a desk and chair, easy chair, fridge, Nespresso coffee machine. There were multiple lights and controls. In the lounge early afternoon, cookies, nut mix, crackers, olives and sun-dried tomatoes were available. From 1700, hors d’oeuvre included spring rolls, aubergine “stew”, cooked chicken, various cold salads, cheeses and meats. An honesty bar operated where one was expected to declare what drinks one had consumed. A glass of wine was $18. At 2000 desserts were served. There was a choice of 3. 2 were similar in that they were filled with confectioner’s cream and the third was chocolate. A deluxe breakfast was served after 6am (continental from 4am). There was a selection of cooked foods, fruit, yoghurt, pastries, bread and cold food e.g. smoked salmon. The hot foods were lukewarm, at best. It was an excellent selection which we enjoyed. It was extremely easy to get to the airport, We had a great time and definitely felt we had a treat! The only downside was the presence of young children in the lounge, at times running and shouting, and even handling the food with the fingers instead of using the tongs provided. Read less

We chose this place as after a long flight from the UK we wanted to rest before picking up our hire car and starting our drive to Calgary. My colleague had recommended it. Despite it being hideously expensive I thought I’d book it as a treat. What a let down. This property should not be badged as a Fairmont. I know the Savoy in London and the Fairmont in Dubai and this is not in that class. Room was ok but for over £400 a night ridiculously overpriced. Service (with 2 exceptions) dreadful. Fairmont Gold - really? The property looks tired and the staff need a real kick. This place makes money due to its location and nothing else. Room - safe didn’t work, sockets by bed didn’t work. Rubbish, dirty laundry and other detritus left on corridor of premium floor and not cleared till we moaned. Staff - except for Johanna at the club reception and 1 of the bellman, no one interested or motivated. Took some guests to the lounge for coffee - was told it’s closed. So went to breakfast (late morning) ignored by hosts and staff. Waited 10 mins for someone to even speak to us. Server took forever and didn’t listen to order and tried to upsell us when we’d said what we wanted. Took ages to get 5 coffees. Seriously - is this is a hotel? Pathetic. Club - scruffy and tired. Tables just sprayed with cleaner so tacky and not clean. Wine is honesty bar. You pay over £400 a night and don’t even get a free glass of wine at the club. Oh come on. Spoke to duty manager who was ok but didn’t even bother to show his face. Shows how much they really care about customers. This place may offer jacuzzi baths and clothes brushes but it’s people that make a hotel. Its service and care and this place lacks any sense of either. Dreadful. Avoid. Read less

Our flight arrived late evening so how convenient was it to merely roll our bags over here and climb into the very comfy bed. Many amenities were available in our spacious room. It was whisper quiet which allowed for a great night’s sleep. Highly recommend.

This hotel is in the terminal, so extremely convenient. You pay extra for this convenience, but it is worth it. The lobby is calm and relaxing, front desk staff are friendly. Our room was beautiful. Large and tastefully decorated with a view of the planes taking off and landing. It was also very quiet. Beds and pillows super comfy.

Nice hotel at the airport. We had a early flight and decided for convivence to stay at the airport. Glad we did. It was not the lowest cost property but it was very easy to go down stairs, check in and go through customs and security without worrying about getting to the airport on time. They have a restaurant and bar which was nice but like any other hotel it was $$$. We had two burgers, 4 beers and a diet coke, cost was $180 Canadian. As far as the rooms, the beds were comfortable, clean, and surprisingly very quiet. Did not hear the plans coming and going. We had a great nights rest. Read less
