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!

We stayed at the iconic Fairmont Vancouver hotel recently for 3 days and it was perfect!. Everything was superb, location was central to everything,
We stayed in Fairmont Gold, which is a wonderful next level experience , the Gold lounge was inviting, comfortable and the breakfast, snacks, Tea and canapes were delicious.
Our room was large with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The staff were exceptional in everyway in every department, from front desk, the housekeeping to servers to bell captain.
A special shout out to Adam, the hotel manager, for service and kindness above and beyond.
Fairmont is THE luxury brand par excellence and our favorite lodging chain by far. This is the place to stay when in Vancouver for all reasons.

Our room was most comfortable with fluffy pillows, warm comforter, and all the amenities of a first class hotel. The view from our room was exquisite, a perfect look at downtown Vancouver that extended all the way to the pier where you could see cruise ships sail out of the port.

Our room was most comfortable with fluffy pillows, warm comforter, and all the amenities of a first class hotel. The view from our room was exquisite, a perfect look at downtown Vancouver that extended all the way to the pier where you could see cruise ships sail out of the port. The Notch 8 restaurant was top notch. Food was fantastic. Fairmont staff and Notch 8 service was the best. I highly recommend the Fairmont Vancouver, downtown.

This was my first stay at the historic Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. The hotel is conveniently located next to high end shopping and lots of great restaurants. I unknowingly booked a Gold Level room. I will say I was very impressed by the whole experience. I had a dedicated check-in, concierge service, and access to a private lounge. My 14th Floor room was incredibly spacious and well appointed. The staff was also very accommodating. I will definitely plan to stay here again on my next trip to Vancouver.

Great hotel in the heart of Vancouver. I typically stay at the Fairmont Pacific Rim when in Vancouver; however, due to the convenient location for this trip, I chose to stay at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver this time. I was generously upgraded to the Gold Floor One Bedroom Suite (Diamond Status) which was beautifully appointed. Breakfast in the lounge had many options to choose from, well equipped with all the beverage options and was elegantly decorated. While the Fairmont Pacific Rim is modern and new, I appreciated the historic building and the charm of the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel. Thanks to Melany on the Gold Floor for helping ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyed our conversations. Will definitely return to the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel when in Vancouver.
