Fairmont Waterfront

Great location across the street from a busy cruise port but that’s really all. Room was average at best

Convenient location close to water but busy due to proximity to cruise ship docks. This is not the best Fairmont I’ve stayed in but I had no real complaints other than the noise and traffic. We were booked by a travel agent for transportation.

I had a short but great stay at this hotel. I booked fairly last minute via Amex FHR and found this hotel to be significantly less expensive than other FHR options in Vancouver. I received the usual FHR amenities including a significant room upgrade. I have noticed some mediocre reviews, but suspect these are from guests who were in older rooms. According to a hotel employee I spoke with, all rooms are being renovated, starting from the top floors and moving downwards. My room on floor 22 was very nice. Kudos for keeping standard lighting controls and not installing confusing touch panels that make controlling basic room features confusing. The hotel is in a good location near the water and Canada Place, but not far from shopping and restaurants. The common areas were pleasant and welcoming. The food I had via room service was top notch. I only stayed one night so didn’t interact with that many employees, but those who I did were friendly and attentive. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Fantastic location right across from the cruise dock, making it incredibly convenient. There are also plenty of things to do nearby, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The rooms are newly renovated and spotless. There was a slight paint smell, but that’s understandable with recent updates. The staff were very helpful and added to the overall positive experience. Overall, a great stay—just on the pricier side.

I stayed in Fairmont Waterfront for 2 nights on business, attending Web Summit in Canada Place next door. Very convenient: close proximity to major convention center, and to so many other attractions. Plus it is waterfront, so this is great location all along. Tasteful common areas, polished and friendly service. Early check in was requested and granted, and so was an upgraded room on 20th floor with the great view. ALL Accor Platinum status helped there. Oh, and front desk personnel was top notch. Nice bar, friendly bartenders. Room was ample sized, well decorated, everything looked clean and fresh. Platinum amenity was also a nice touch. Well stocked and fairly large bathroom. No complaints. Well, it is expensive, and, even with high rates, it was a good value in this case. Highly recommend!
