Can't recommend this hotel enough! We've done our fair share of luxury travel and cannot remember…read morebeing so well taken care of. The staff genuinely goes above and beyond to care of your every need -- even putting out blackout paper on one of our doors because we were getting too much natural light (wild!) Special shoutout to Roland, our bartender at the Botanist, for his incredible hospitality. He had us laughing all night and felt so welcome as Vancouver first timers. The food and drink at Botanist are amazing. Even the breakfast included with FHR is quite good. Room service chicken wings were delivered quickly and piping hot both times we ordered it. We had the Ofuro tub room on the 18th floor and it was dreamy to wind down our days watching the sea planes take off and land. The view is stunning. If you're a foodie, into cocktails, and appreciate food service this is definitely the right hotel for you. If you're sensitive to sound, try to get a room on a higher floor.

I've stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Canada Place on prior trips to Vancouver. I've always…read morewanted to stay at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia (on W Georgia St) or the L'Hermitage Hotel (on Richards St) as they're located closer to the places I frequented when in town so this time, I checked on availability and pricing. A one-bedroom signature suite at L'Hermitage was significantly less than a regular room at the Pan Pacific and the Rosewood so I booked 3 nights ($625CAD/night). I got off the Silver Moon at 9:45am, handed my luggage off to a representative from Luggage Forward, and walked from the cruise terminal up to the hotel. My room wasn't ready, so I dropped off my carry-on and backpack and went shopping and to have lunch. I was still on my way to CF Pacific Centre when the front desk called, informing me my room was ready. I told them I'd return after lunch. Wow, I loved my room (707)! As you entered through a short hallway, you found yourself looking at a full kitchen to your right, bathroom to your left and then the bedroom, past a closet housing a stack washer/dryer. The living room was bright and airy because there were walls of glass. Past the kitchen was a den with a desk and sofa. Off the living room was a small lanai overlooking the pool. The kitchen featured a gas range, full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. It was like a timeshare unit, not a hotel room, as there was tableware, glassware, etc. The only nitpick was the bathroom; it didn't quite measure up to the rest of the unit. It was small, with a full-sized glass-enclosed tub, a Toto (but without the washlet) toilet, and a small vanity and shelf unit opposite the vanity. It was totally functional, but I wished the tub had a shower wand, not just the rain head. If I could, I'd want this room moved to Hawaii to become my residence. The front desk staff were personable and friendly. The exercise facilities were fine. The L'Orangerie restaurant is located on the 5th floor ... more on that in a separate review. All told, I found the L'Hermitage to be perfect for me and will now be my hotel of choice when in Vancouver.

L'Hermitage was wonderful; this hotel's old school charm won me over immediately and kept on…read moredelivering throughout my stay. My favorite amenities--clothing steamer and hot water kettle--were promptly delivered. What's better than tea and wrinkle-free clothes? The room was quiet and afforded me uninterrupted sleep. The lighting at the desk caused my colleagues to compliment my visage on video conference calls. The location was an easy walk to everywhere I needed to go in Vancouver. L'Orangerie, the dining room and lounge on the fifth floor, was a lovely place to take tea and lunch. My dining companion and I had the place nearly to ourselves. On my next visit to Vancouver, I hope I'll be lucky enough to stay at L'Hermitage again.

Date of visit: July 15-16, 2025…read more Consider this hotel if you're leaving out of Vancouver for a cruise; it was wonderful and a short walk to the terminal with our bags. You could also take a car but unless the weather is bad or you have mobility issues, it is just as easy to walk over to the terminal. We were in before to check in and because of the cruise, rooms were not ready early. But they took our bags and gave us warm, delicious cookies! When we returned later to check in, we received more cookies. (Insert Cookie Monster meme here.) All of the staff we encountered was very friendly, even the security guard on Hastings Street, though he didn't tell us that if we would just walk around the corner to Seymour there is an entrance without stairs that is better for luggage... We didn't bother with the restaurant after seeing the prices, but we can say that the rooms are lovely. Our suite was perfect for three people, with a nice living room area and a separate bedroom though the closet was very small for a room that could potentially accommodate four people. With the exception of a very worn out, past its prime chair, everything in the room from the furniture to the bathroom was in great condition, too.

I also love the fact that they have a small kitchen which makes staying the hotel stay even better as you can store leftovers and what nots. The location is also fantastic as it is right next to Davie Street where there are a lot of restaurants and markets. The breakfast was very okay, standard continental breakfast. I will say that the oranges are quite sweet and the waffles had a bit of a mochi texture to it which is kind of interesting. I wasn't a big fan of the eggs as they were extremely runny but its kind of interesting they put steak sauce over it, maybe its a Canada thing? Oh and the breakfast is complimentary might I add. Overall, honestly what a great stay in Vancouver especially given the room size, amenities, and cleanliness. I will definitely come back to stay here if I'm ever back in the city.

Clean rooms, close to Brekka bakery ,my favorite. Good…read moreservice at front desk-greeted me well. Parking garage spacious-signs every where and front desk highly encourage to not leave items in car. Close walking to shopping and coffee shops.
