Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

Here for a conference. Lots to like: old architecture of the building. Central location close to Skytrain. Good: rooms are clean and spacious. Lots of rooms without tub. All food, drinks, on sensor. Dont touch if you don't want to be charged! Fast elevators. The FOB activation of the elevators are a bit clunky and have to hold for a long time. Like they seem to have moved to a wood-based card, instead of plastic. Gym and pool (salt): pretty modest and nothing fancy. For a high end establishment, I would expect real plants in the common areas. Food: was conference food. Breakfast continues to disappoint. Mostly sweet pastries or meats (bacon, sausages). How about more fresh fruit, kefir, organic yogurts, whole grains? Dinner was ok. The biggest issue i had was the hotel water for the shower. Lukewarm at best. Not sure if thia was room specific or across the building. Overall, I'd come back only if rates were commensurate with level of quality and refinement. In my travels, i would pay no more thab $250 per night. Conference.got room rate deal so don't know what it costs for average person.

Great location. Friendly team. Older so small windows but very quiet and comfortable. Didn't try any food services - there is a restaurant and of course room service. Didn't try the spa or pool. Dog friendly.

The hotel was in a great central location and was decorated for the season. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated. The highlight was Debbie. She was so helpful and made sure our visit was memorble.

Had an amazing stay at this hotel! All the amenities exceeded my expectations and the room was gorgeous. Such a great break.

I stayed at this hotel for 8 nights visiting from the UK. It is a nice hotel with a lot of quality aspects. The staff were very helpful and I found breakfast to be decent. The room was relatively clean and I did not have any issues during my stay. The location is great and you can be at the waterfront within 10 minutes or hop on a train or bus very easily. We had a corner room and while you can hear the odd police siren or noisy car, it is very light and I had no issues sleeping. My only snag with this hotel is with the swimming pool area. It is sold as a luxury hotel but the ceiling in the pool area is leaking. There are paint bubbles forming and the water actually drips into the pool when it rains. At one end of the pool there is a temporary partition which looks like it has been there for some time. If I was in charge of this hotel I would close the pool area until it can be renovated because it is not up to a good standard and does dent the rest of the hotel if you happen to visit the area. But as I say I would stay again and I did swim in the pool. The water appeared to be clean.
