Our room was clean, spacious and well appointed, with a desk, a generously sized patio, and a large bathroom with good water pressure. My only complaint about the room was the bed, which was really soft for my liking. I mean like sinking into the bed soft. The club lounge had a nice view of Vancouver, but the food was pretty uninspiring. But it's still a nice place to relax. We used the gym a couple of times for the treadmill and a light workout. It was clean, spacious, and really nice. We also noticed a sauna and hot tub, though we didn't use either. There's a Starbucks and bar on the ground floor and a restaurant on the second floor. Overall, we were happy with our stay. Happy Travels!

I asked the front desk to ring my room because I was worried about what I would do in the morning. When I got up, to their credit, I saw they'd slipped a note under my door saying my luggage was at the front desk. I called down, and they delivered it immediately. The front desk staff met every request, and I probably spoke to them daily during my weeklong stay. The luggage concierge also provided excellent service. I enjoyed the on-site bar, and the service was excellent. The hotel was a short walk to the convention center where I attended a conference. I like that people off the street can't go up in the elevator. You must have a key card to enter the floor. The elevators were pretty quick, except there were a couple of times I didn't hear it and missed it. Oh, and it is convenient to buses and trains. At night, a food truck was parked across the walk.

It was a quick check in and we were early but a room was ready. There are a few snacks for purchase, water refill, and tourist brochures. We headed down the ramp and towards the two elevators. For all the floors in the buildings, the elevators were pretty quick. We made our way to the 23rd floor to our apartment style hotel that we would be staying at for the next 5 nights. We entered and there was a washer and dryer, and a large closet that had the broom and a fan. I think the safe was also in the closet. The kitchen space was great to have a full sized fridge, stove, coffee maker, and lots of pots and pans and utensils. This was very convenient as we went to get groceries for breakfast every day. The seating area had a tv, and counter place for when we ate. It wasn't big and there was no dining table but it was sufficient. There was also a temperature control in this space. Both bedrooms were spacious with one having large windows with great views of downtown. The other room had a small window. There were 2 bathrooms, and one that was in the area of the smaller bedroom. The other bathroom was spacious. There's a parkade and it's secure requiring the room key to enter and exit, and also enter the elevator. We didn't have an issue to find a parking space during our stay. During our stay, they were were accommodating when we requested more coffee, paper towels, and laundry pods. The only complaints I have were that it could get noisy from all the sirens in the night, and that our bedroom could get cold at night. Otherwise, everything about this place was great! There's a games room with a ping pong table, pool table, and many books. The location was also great and convenient to be downtown.

Our Condo was well located in Downtown Vancouver, and easily walkable to Stanley Park, the West End, Gas Town, and places in-between. The Condo also had a nice view of the skyline and a nice living room to relax and take it all in. The unit was also clean and well appointed. There were a few "negatives": 1. The pool and gym require a walk over to the nearby Sheraton. We also found that with Uber, it's best to go over to Sheraton for pickup and drop off as the algorithm can't seem to comprehend 1080 Hornby Street. 2. Even with AC within this hot Vancouver week, the Condo was stuffy and required multiple fans to help with overall comfort. 3. This Condo had no balcony or other outdoor hangout option, other than finding a local park.

AND it has secure on-site parking if you are given a VIP upgrade (I got mine though Expedia). The hotel is also secure and safe with locking front doors after a certain hour, and an elevator activated by key card. I learned on my last night there that they offer snacks for a Sober Night In, which I thought was a cool perk. The lobby hosts chip snacks and non-alcoholic cocktails all evening. Very considerate for guest safety. The only thing that lacked was the showerhead in the bathroom. It was downright atrocious. The water pressure was non existent in my room. Maybe it is better in others. The temperature was great though so if you're a bath person then you'll be just fine.

And if you're on the top floor like I was your corridor overlooks the courtyard filled with palm trees, and a fire pit and ping pong table and lots of seating. And at night everything is covered with lights it is so nice I was in a king room facing the road because I didn't mind the noise but I ended up facing the St Paul's Hospital lights of Hope wall which was so pretty and a terrific View. In the room there's a fridge that they replace bottled water with free for you and cream for the nescafe coffee, which I actually really like I've never had it before. There's lots of Lights and a big giant television. The bathroom is Tiny and there's the most absurdly little sink that is also kind of cute. I didn't care what the bathroom size because I didn't find a big bathroom really necessary. Every night from 7:00 to 10:00 they have a non-alcoholic happy hour in the lobby where you can get cans of non-alcoholic cocktails and chips. One night they didn't have chips so they gave me two drinks, although drinks are unlimited they made me take two. In the basement there is a microwave for everyone to use, and washer and dryer. You can borrow a bike and an umbrella. I am definitely staying here the next time I go to Vancouver

They left a handwritten welcome note for us, and the cleaners gently organized my makeup and hair tools. Absolutely amazing turn-down service. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, and the location was perfect for exploring all that the city has to offer. The quality of service throughout the hotel is top-notch, exactly what you expect for the premium price. Everyone went above and beyond to meet our every need; we felt very pampered. This was our first experience at a Fairmont Hotel, and we are now big fans. The quality is absolutely here. Tip: We saved on parking by parking at the nearby mall instead of at the hotel, but that's just because the hotel had exorbitant parking rates.

I can't think of anything here that went wrong or needed to be better, everything just turned out really well during my stay. So I needed to find a hotel in Vancouver after Christmas and into New Years, because I was fed up with Seattle (spent Christmas there) and was eager to get to Vancouver for the first time ever because I've heard such wonderful things about the city. I surfed Tripadvisor and everyone loved the Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier. It got rave reviews, and they were doing a deal, so I did some research on it. One picture at this hotel caught my eye - - the swimming pool. It looked just like a regular lap pool that I'm used to at the YMCA. It is very rare to see a regular large lap pool at the hotels in the States. I know sometimes they "stretch" the pics out to make it look bigger and better, but this looked like a 25 meter pool - - so I just called them up to find out. She confirmed - yes - "it's Olympic sized" she said. Wow! Turns out it's 25 meters with 5 lanes. Well you had me at Olympic. I'm sold. No reason to search around for other hotel deals, let's stay at the north pier for the rest of the year. So the drive out there is about 35-40 min from the Canadian / US Border. I was a little leery as I got close to the hotel driving by all the Port and Industrial areas, concerned about the surroundings and offerings. But once you get there it's like a whole new town. There's a night life, restaurants, some shops, hotels, bars, you name it. Looked really good so I checked in. Parking was $29 a night, and it's garaged and gated below the hotel. You can go in and out as many times as you want and I never had issues finding a spot. Very happy that the parking situation - it was seamless. The room was perfect. Had everything I needed. A nice tub with shower, good water pressure, updated bathroom and decor, a small fridge and a microwave, TV cable works well along w/ the wifi. Had plenty of room, the bed was firm and everything was clean. No complaints at all. I swam at least 4 out of the 6 days during my stay and it was great. They also have an awesome steam room that works well, a sauna, hot tub, plenty of workout space for yoga, stationary biking, and weightroom. I was really impressed. Pool water was a consistent 82 degrees. The only downside was there's no lifeguard on duty and that means the patrons can do what they want - so there's definitely a lack of pool etiquette. I swim my laps but people will not ask to share the lane with you, they just jump in, along with the kids, you have to deal with it - - but it's not everyday. The views of the harbor were nice too. An 8 min drive east of the hotel is Strong Grocery Store - which was perfect for me. Of course there's an A&W nearby, in fact I think their offices were a few blocks away. I was really pleased with the surroundings. It won't fill your entire week, you'll have to drive to experience other areas of Vancouver, but it certainly met all of my needs. I was really pleased with my entire stay here and will definitely come back. Customer service was always responsive and attentive, helped me with all of my questions and a big help in my extending my stay for 3 extra days.

Fairmont Waterfront Vancouver BC July 2026…read more Now that I'm retired and travel alone, I wanted to push the Amtrak limits in a coast-to-coast trip from Washington, D.C.'s Union Station to the Canadian northwest, ending in Jasper, then Banff, and then Calgary. So, I started sniffing around the internet for opportunities on Amtrak, favoring segments in a private sleeping car. For a cross-country trip on Amtrak, I looked at all of the moving parts and decided to respond to the invitation I received after I submitted an inquiry into cross-country Amtrak trips. Those moving parts included figuring out which trains would travel to my intended destinations, identifying hotels that could accommodate me on my way, and booking excursions available to rail passengers along my route. Within an hour of sending my inquiry I got a response from Amtrak Vacations and its representative, Kevin Guadagnoli. Amtrak Vacations is not the same as Amtrak: working with Railbookers, a travel agency that specializes in creating customizable train vacation packages, Amtrak Vacations makes its mark by offering experienced advisors who have direct booking access to rail travel throughout North America (so it includes both U.S. and Canadian rail services). So, I have Kevin and Railbookers (and Amtrak Vacations) to thank for suggesting the Fairmont Waterfront, 900 Canada Place Way, Vancouver, for a two-day stay in July 2026. Kevin had included a 48-hour pass for the hop-on hop-off tour buses that run throughout the day and early evening. My train, Amtrak's Empire Builder from Seattle, arrived at the Pacific Central Station on time at around 10 p.m. I could have walked to the Fairmont (it's about a 30-minute walk) or used the Expo Line from Main Street-Science World (about a 6-minute bus trip). But it was late and I wanted to check in, so I took a taxi ($20 including tip). Both Seattle and Vancouver were hosting FIFA World Cup games, draining the number of hotel rooms to choose from - but Kevin's selection was perfect. The building was clean, quiet, and well-lit, with attentive service and helpful front-desk staff. It's located close to a central-city mall that includes a fast-food food court and pharmacy, and right near where the hop-on hop-off bus has its starting point. For the high rollers the hotel has a Gold room on the 9th floor - didn't check it out; but because I registered with ALL Accor (the chain's loyalty program) my room included premium wi-fi, but breakfast was on me, so I headed to McDonald's for my breakfast egg McMuffin. The room was comfortable, spacious, and had a great view of the city. I spent the two days walking and enjoying waterfront views and scenes from the hop-on hop-off bus. When it came time to check out, I headed to the Pacific Central Station where my train to Jasper would depart in the afternoon. (Note that for travelers departing the station en route to Jasper while you are permitted to check your bag, once you check it with VIA Rail Canada you won't have access to the bag until you reach your destination.) After a light lunch at Fionn MacCool's (a five-minute walk), VIA Rail was ready to get me to my next Canadian destination. The Fairmont Waterfront did a great job for this part of my transcontinental train trip.

Location alone makes it worth looking at since it's right there for embarkation and super easy with luggage. What really stood out was how smooth they made everything around the cruise. Porters took our luggage down for us and we tipped about $20 CAD for 4 bags. We were also able to store our extra luggage, stroller, and leave our car seat at the hotel to pick up after the cruise, which made a huge difference traveling with kids. Customer service was excellent too. I liked that whenever you called, they addressed you by name. Small touch but it made it feel a lot more personal. Pricey hotel for sure. Our pre-cruise stay was around $1,200 something for 2 nights, but we used the Chase Reserve Edith credit for $250 off and there was a double points promo, so I ended up using about 49k points total. Post-cruise was about $526 through Amex Platinum FHR and I used the $300 hotel credit there. Both stays also came with a $100 hotel credit plus free breakfast for 2 each day, which helped a lot with the value. We used the hotel credits and also liked that kids 5 and under eat free at dinner. Expensive, but with the right credits and if you're doing a cruise out of Vancouver, I'd absolutely stay here again.
