Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Named as one of Canada’s great railway hotels, the Hotel Vancouver opened in 1939 and was restored in the 1990s. Early guests included the English monarchs George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Its elegant décor and chateau-style architecture have never gone out of fashion with vacationers, and business travelers appreciate the prime downtown location and extensive business facilities. The hotel’s busy lobby is an attraction in itself-- Italian marble floors, Edwardian frescoes, and antique furnishings.
Amenity highlights: Grand but relaxed, The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver has a health club offering personal trainers as well as a range of exercise equipment. A pool and spa complex includes a children’s wading pool. The Absolute Spa, located in the lower lobby, specializes in classic pampering with facials, mud wraps, massage, nail care, and spa treatments. The business center features private workstations and numerous business services.
Insider tip: Robson Street, Vancouver’s eclectic outdoor shopping mall—a must-see attraction—is just one block from the hotel. Numerous shops include A/X Armani Exchange, Club Monaco, and Mexx. Street-front cafés and restaurants with patio seating make perfect spots for watching the daily parade of shoppers and passersby.
