Fairmont Pacific Rim

Great

Pros: Clean. Very friendly staff all round from the entrance to the cleaners Cons: Not sure

A world-class hotel experience at the beating heart of Canada's most world-class city.

Pros: The room was shiny and elegant, the cleaning staff did an incredibly thorough job (they even lovingly curled up my charging cables), they made me excellent breakfast delivered to my room and they gave me superb restaurant recommendations. Location is right in the middle of the nicest and most happening part of Vancouver. Cons: A couple things: it was not obvious to me how to turn off some of the lights and screens in the room when I wanted to go to sleep, which was annoying and the receptionists (perhaps understandably) gave me a bit of a hard time when I was checking in since I lost my

First class hotel with a great piano in the lobby!

We were in Canada touring for three weeks staying in some very nice hotels, and the Fairmont Pacific Rim was the finest of them all. We had booked a gold suite with an adjoining room for our children and both rooms were first class - spacious and quiet, with well-appointed bathrooms in both.

Luxury lost to summer crowds

Sadly, our worst stay at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. As loyal guest members the only places we stay in Vancouver with highest end presence is the Fairmont Pacific Rim or Rosewood Georgia. During the summer season I would not book here unless you want an unorganized overcrowded family experience and you may need the patience to wait for the specific room you booked 2 hours after the policy check in time after your long travels. We paid more for a balcony that was unusable. Unlike the terrace shown in their marketing expect kids screaming from open to close in the pool as if it was a splashdown wa

Good but not great

This was our first stay at a Fairmont and we booked an executive level room with access to the lounge. The hotel is FINE. Lovely location, great views, many amenities. I also really liked the warmth of the decor. A welcome change from anonymous white hotels. But when it comes to luxury, the small things count and these were the things that got the stars knocked down: On its face, the lounge is a wonderful convenience: easy breakfast, substantial snacks served all day long, a private concierge. But the food was consistently terrible and the breakfast setup is a mess. Don't set it up as a bu
