Highlights

  • ‘Castle in the City’ heritage – A true Vancouver landmark with grand château-style architecture, opulent lobby spaces and a palpable sense of history; perfect if you like your city hotels to feel theatrical, storied and full of old-world charm rather than anonymous and businesslike.

  • Prime downtown location – Perfectly positioned in the heart of downtown, moments from Robson Street, the art gallery and the waterfront, so you can stretch your legs after the flight, explore local neighbourhoods on foot and slip easily back to your room afterwards.

  • Refreshed rooms and suites – A wide choice of recently refreshed rooms and suites, from cosy entry-level to indulgent Fairmont Gold, with softer bedding, better soundproofing and access to a quieter lounge where you can enjoy drinks, breakfast and discreet concierge-style assistance.

  • Pool, spa and fitness – An inviting indoor pool, spa and well-equipped fitness centre make it wonderfully easy to reset your body clock, swim off stiffness from the flight, enjoy a massage or simply sit in a fluffy robe doing very little indeed.

  • Lively bar and restaurant – The hotel’s bar and restaurant champion Pacific Northwest ingredients, with excellent seafood, local wines and polished yet relaxed service, so you can enjoy a proper sit-down meal or a lighter bite at the bar without needing to venture far.

  • Pet-friendly stays – Hugely welcoming to dogs, with staff who genuinely seem pleased to see four-legged guests, handy green spaces nearby and small thoughtful touches such as bowls, treats and beds that make travelling with a pet feel easy rather than stressful.

Giving back

Fairmont Hotel Vancouver’s sustainability policy centres on ‘3 Rs for the planet’ – reduce, reuse, recycle – backed by a robust composting and recycling programme covering everything from glass and cardboard to electronics and cooking oil. They have eliminated single-use plastics from the guest journey, including straws, cups, miniature toiletries and plastic water bottles, and even use wooden key cards. The hotel also focuses on low-impact, locally sourced menus, Orca food-waste technology, diversity and inclusion, and strong community partnerships, all within Accor’s wider sustainability framework.

What's Nearby?

  • Robson and Alberni Streets – Robson Street and Alberni Street put you in the middle of Vancouver’s shopping, from international designer labels to local boutiques, with plenty of buzzy cafés and restaurants where you can grab a coffee, a bite or linger over dinner.

  • Vancouver Art Gallery – Just across the road, Vancouver Art Gallery is perfect for an unhurried wander, mixing major international exhibitions with works by British Columbia and First Nations artists, plus a good café and terrace when you need a breather.

  • Christ Church Cathedral – Opposite the hotel, Christ Church Cathedral offers a striking Gothic Revival contrast to the glass towers around it, and is a lovely, peaceful place to step into between shops or meetings if you enjoy architecture, music or quiet reflection.

  • Waterfront and Canada Place – A short stroll brings you to the waterfront and Canada Place, where you can watch seaplanes taking off, join the seawall for a walk towards Stanley Park and get an immediate sense of Vancouver’s harbour, mountains and fresh Pacific air.

  • Stanley Park, Gastown and Granville Island – Stanley Park, Gastown and Granville Island are all easily reached by a short taxi or bike ride, giving you classic sea-and-forest views, cobbled historic streets, excellent restaurants, craft breweries, markets and galleries without needing to commit to a full-day excursion.

Why we love the Fairmont

Opened in 1939 as a Grand Railway Hotel this hotel has hosted royalty, film stars and world leaders for decades. It is a true slice of history and even if you choose to stay somewhere else, a visit for tea is well worth it.
