The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver

Lovely-looking old hotel. Very nicely restored. It would have been a fantastic experience if not for the staff. With the exception of the concierge, they were generally discourteous and rude. Which is unfortunate. This hotel is really set up for large business events and not personal vacation stays.

was an amazing experience , hope you have the same experience, talk to the concierge, Grouse Mntn. , Cap bridge ,sky train , woohoo

We had a very relaxed visit. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The city was an interesting place. I would love to go back. A very nice pool on the roof, a chateau feeling from one of Canadian Pacific Railroads beauties. Nothing will top the Chateau Whistler so I can't give 5 stars, but this was a very classy hotel.

The hotel has a beautiful aura about it. Very comfortable and leaves you feeling like you are right in a scene from The Great Gatsby. The Banquet Facilities are spacious. The Hotel is a very classy place to call a home away from home. Thankfully the hotel was so well appointed because the stay in Vancouver otherwise was not very impressive. The Vancouver Transportation Dept. was on strike the week we were there so no buses or transit ran which made for traffic jams everywhere and getting around simply difficult. However the Concierge arranged for us to fly over to Victoria for a day which was a wonderful day trip, a simply majestic island. The pool at The Fairmont Vancouver was very refreshing and relaxing. The service was wonderful. Things pretty much were as they should be in that we were the guest and they took care of us. A few minor hiccups which I believe may have since been corrected. The elevator stopped in the lobby a few times like a foot too low, so we had to step up out of it, which was kind of odd. Also our room keys seemed to get erased easily, locking us out of our room. That may have been our fault as I guess they can be demagnetized, but it happened a few more times than normal. However these are really small things and hardly impacted our impression of the visit. If it wasn't for The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver I believe our trip to Vancouver would not have been as meaningful.

This hotel is first-class, all the way. We were treated very well there, and were constantly impressed by the hotel.

This hotel is really a first class place. The rooms were large, clean and very nicely decorated. The hotel is also in a very convenient place. Just outside the hotel there is a wonderful restaurant called Bellagio, where we ate every single day. It is very inexpensive and really wonderful. Perhaps one of the neatest things about this hotel is MAVIS. She is the hotel pet who stays in the lobby. She is such a sweet dog that I came by every day to pet. They will even let you take her out for walks if you get on her walking schedule!
