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

I stayed at this hotel for two nights at the beginning of February. I booked my room through Otel.com. If you're not familiar with this website, check it out. I found the hotel rates were much lower than other travel booking websites like Expedia or Hotels.ca. On top of having low rates, you can collect "dollar points" everytime you book... more

We stayed here in late January for a conference. The entrance was grand and pretty swanky but we didn't feel too out of place in our "riff-raff wear" ie: jeans, hoodies, sneakers. Reception was friendly and checkout was super quick. I was sad to say that I didn't see the hotel dogs the entire time I was here though. The... more

The Fairmont is a wonderful, wonderful hotel - especially if you are lucky enough to stay on the Fairmont Gold floor. It is very traditional in decor, but you know for sure that a lot of expense has gone into creating the rooms. Service is exceptional - as we found all over Vancouver, to be honest - and staff make... more

of course the Fairmont is probably one of Vancouver's finest, but rooms are very dated. It is a traditional hotel, but decor and colours could be updated. Location is good, but with my family we prefer the Granville Island hotel with beautiful views of downtown and the Market with numerous fresh foods to eat. Although there are many good restaurants... more
