I am absolutely delighted by the Hotel Vancouver. Having just spent three nights at the Empress in Victoria, I must say the Hotel Vancouver is a MUCH better hotel than its sister Fairmont in Victoria! In fact, my recent stay at this hotel must rate as one of the best stays I've had in a while. Every staff I met... more

We just got back from a long weekend at the Hotel Vancouver and can't rave enough about our stay. The hotel is located at the very heart of downtown Vancouver in a gorgeous old building that is a delightful antidote to the usual, modern (read: bland) downtown hotel towers. The service and staff were first-rate. The concierge gave us several... more

This was the second time I stayed at this hotel for a conference, and for 5 nights. Again, it was a wonderful stay, and I'd return in a minute. I had a standard room, #575, that overlooked a side street, but not bad when the view is of Tiffany and a Ports 1961 shop. Other than the occasional emergency siren,... more

I loved this hotel, we stayed here for one night after we arrived to Vancouver. The staff is exactly what you would expect, very (VERY) friendly and helpful. The room we stayed is was a standard room but very spacious and clean and furnished with typicall fairmont. furniture, which I love. We had little time and were suffering from a... more

I stayed here for 3 nights while up in Vancouver attending some concerts. Location can't be beat. I travelled from Seattle via Amtrak. Tip: Take the "sky train" light rail from the station near the train station to the Burrard station, and walk less than a block to the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Alternately, a cab takes about 5-7 minutes and... more

Stayed at the Fairmont for 3 nights for some Vancouver sightseeing at the end of a ski trip. Great location in the city centre. The hotel room was ok although the bathroom could do with some updating. We were out sightseeing most of the time so the room was not that important. Hotel staff were all excellent with great service... more

I recently stayed at the Fairmont in downtown Vancouver for a business trip. The location of the hotel is smack dab in the middle of downtown and is convenient to everything. Shopping, restaurants, etc. are just a walk outside your hotel. The rooms are nothing special and actually were somewhat run down. After a multi-million dollar renovation I expected more.... more

My wife and I went to Vancouver over Valentine's Day weekend 2008. Upon research, we decided on the Fairmont Vancouver Downtown (based upon reviews on Tripadvisor). The hotel is in an excellent location, it's worth the 4-5 star rating for it's accommodations (see below), but mostly the professionalism of the staff both at the concierge desk and presidents club desk... more

Stayed for one night with a friend. Check-in seemed to go well until I got to the room and the key didn't work. As I walked back to the elevator with my luggage a young bellman appeared and tried the door as well. He escorted me back to the reception desk and another key was quickly produced. That was the... more
