Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

I didn’t have time to write this review earlier, but I really wanted to share our experience. We stayed at the Fairmont Vancouver in December, and our stay was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!nnI traveled with my sister and my little niece to celebrate her birthday, and it turned out to be such a special and unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to Debbie from Concierge!!! Thanks to her, my niece received a beautiful birthday surprise in the room. She was beyond happy and excited, it truly made her birthday extra special and magical nnEverything was spectacular from start to finish. Check-in was smooth and the staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming. The hotel was impeccable, elegant, and spotless. During breakfast, the waitress was also extremely kind, attentive, and made us feel very well taken care of.nnHonestly… WOW!!! Thank you so much to the entire Fairmont Vancouver team for such an incredible stay. We will always remember this experience and can’t wait to come back!

Overall, our recent stay at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver was a pleasant experience, with a few notable highlights and drawbacks.nnPros:nThe location is excellent—right in the heart of downtown with plenty of restaurants, shopping, and easy access to the city. Upon arrival, we were offered an upgrade to a larger suite with a city view, which was a welcome surprise. The suite itself was comfortable, well appointed, and a relaxing place to unwind. We also enjoyed the food at Notch8; the quality was very good and the menu had some great options.nnCons:nDespite the generous suite upgrade, the ensuite bathroom felt surprisingly small for the room category. It included only a shower and a very small sink, which made the space feel cramped. The gym was nicely maintained but undersized for a hotel of this scale, and the sauna was unfortunately closed during our stay. While the food at Notch8 was good, the noise level was extremely high—definitely not the place for intimate dining, especially during happy hour. The hotel entrance was another challenge. Traffic was consistently backed up, making drop‑off and pick‑up a bit chaotic and difficult to navigate.nnOverall:nWe enjoyed our stay and appreciated several aspects of the property, but after doing some additional research, we realized the Fairmont Waterfront likely would have been a better fit for our preferences.

Our recent stay at Fairmont was absolutely flawless and truly unforgettable. As a family, we have stayed at many Fairmont properties over the years, and this experience once again confirmed why Fairmont continues to stand out for its exceptional level of hospitality and care.nFrom the moment we arrived, everything was handled seamlessly. All of our questions were answered promptly, requests were taken care of without delay, and everything we needed was provided efficiently and professionally. Even during busy times, the team maintained a calm, organized, and attentive approach that made the entire stay feel effortless and enjoyable.nA very special thank you goes to Mod , who provided care well beyond expectations and imagination. He was incredibly friendly, calm, and reassuring, and took care of everything very quickly and thoughtfully. His demeanor made every interaction pleasant and stress-free, and his attention to detail truly stood out.nWe were also genuinely touched when Mod surprised us with a beautiful fruit basket and chocolates, which was such a thoughtful and generous gesture. It reflected the genuine care and warmth that Fairmont Vancouver is known for and made us feel truly valued as guests.nThis level of service goes far beyond luxury; it reflects genuine hospitality, consistency, and heartfelt care. Experiences like this make us proud to continue choosing Fairmont and looking forward to future stays.nA sincere thank you to the entire Fairmont team, and especially to Mod, for delivering such an outstanding and memorable experience. We look forward to returning again very soon.

We celebrated our 30th anniversary at Hotel Vancouver, and were completely overwhelmed by the upgrades, the details and kindness we were extended. It was such an incredible experience, we didn't want it to end. We booked a king size bed room on the Fairmont Gold floor, where we expected to enjoy free parking, a private reception desk on arrival, complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and canapés in the Fairmont Gold Lounge. But the Hotel Vancouver magic actually only just started: we got to check in early AND were upgraded to the absolutely stunning MORNINGSIDE BEDROOM SUITE on the 14th floor. Wow, what an amazingly beautiful suite this is, we felt like royalty and were treated as such. Where ever we went in the Hotel, staff congratulated us on our anniversary and made sure we were enjoying our stay. Starting our celebration at the Gold Lounge, where we enjoyed a gorgeously presented and very tasty Afternoon Tea. I will dream about the Gingerbread Scones with clotted cream for a long time! When we heard about the themed speak easy pop up bar, we didn't expect to be seated, as it is booked way in advance, but when we arrived to just check it out we were greeted yet again with congratulations and not only given our own private room but two complimentary cocktails. We had planned to eat dinner at the fantastically winter wonderland decorated notch 8, but after seeing all the scrumptious canapés in the Gold Lounge we ended up having a excellent meal right there. Once we got back to our room, oh pardon me, our suite, we found that staff had left a bottle of sparkling wine and chocolate covered strawberries with a sweet note, for us to make merry. What a lovely surprise after everything they already done for us. We also appreciated the late check out the next morning after yet another spectacular meal, this time a lavish breakfast buffet in the Gold lounge, so we could take advantage of the spa. Hotel Vancouver and its staff went way beyond our expectations to make our special day magical and we are very grateful for all the big and little extras they thought of to make this anniversary truly remarkable.

I booked a standard room at this hotel for the weekend before taking a cruise. The hotel has a classic high end vibe. Service at the front desk was friendly.nn the location is great, it feels safe for tourists. The subway station is two blocks away you can take the subway from the airport to the hotel. Shopping district is nearby as well as the cruise terminal.nn the rooms are spacious, matress and pillows are comfortable.nn the hotel lobby looks like a mini shopping mall with luxury stores. Also, there’s a restaurant that I did went to but it was fully booked, so I guess it was good.nn‍‍‍ family and kids friendly.nn the hotel is fully equipped with facilities for people with restricted mobility.nn Don’t miss the photo gallery in the basement. There are pictures of all the famous people that have visited the hotel.
