We first discovered this hotel during our very first stay in Vancouver more than 10 years ago. We’ve been back 4 or 5 times since, including twice just this year. Things have changed a lot. The rooms have aged, but they remain clean and in fairly good condition. We stayed 4 nights before an Alaska cruise and then 3 nights after, for a total of 7 nights in an OFURO room. The view is incredible, but we spent 4 nights on the 19th floor and 3 nights on the 15th, and it’s definitely not as good. It was FREEZING in the bathroom in both rooms. The air conditioning is really noisy, so you either have to deal with heat or with noise… During our pre-cruise stay, our room still hadn’t been serviced at 4:30 pm on the second day, even though we had left before 9:30 am. What’s really frustrating, and what has changed the most in over 10 years, is that prices have gone up but service has gone down! You’re just a room number, and even at $1,000 a night don’t expect any special attention, no personalization of your stay at all… The hotel relies on its reputation and, to be fair, its exceptional location. It’s still a good 5-star, but with absolutely no attention to the guest. You’re paying for a standardized service, that’s it. Read less

Fabulous hotel. If you can splurge for gold level, this hotel will not disappoint. From the beautiful rooms, to the extremely helpful staff and amazing food, it is all a wonderful way to reward yourself. Each person in our party of 12 has thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you once again after stay in Fairmont Gold in Calgary, Banf , Lake Louise , Jasper, this hotel in Vancouver continued the outstanding excellence experienced in Fairmont Gold. The lounge and their staff were all outstanding. This is the ideal cure and antidote after suffering the hell and bullying of the VOCO Southampton hotel by their angry GM. This is how standards of staff behaviour should be exhibited. Thank you so much once again and thank you for the complimentary lift to the Cruise Port. Simply amazing staff and service, we will be back. Read less

Rooms and food were great. Service in the lobby restaurant, lounge and the concierges was excellent. The reception, not so much. Had a big issue with reception that I have advised the hotel about. In a nutshell they did not honor what I thought was an AMEX Platinum Luxury Hotel package and lost out on a couple hundred dollars worth of benefits. The young reception agent should read Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara because what he did, basically questioning my truthfulness in a sauve way was better suited for a Motel 6. For almost $700/night, it would have been appropriate for them to have handled the situation better. I have an investigation underway at AMEX. Not coming back. Read less

Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver. Read less
