This is a glamorous base for all Vancouver escapades, but it’s important to note that its popularity and central location brings significant bustle. Live music fans will revel in the vibe come evenings, but those who crave more quiet should consider elsewhere.
Stay at Fairmont Pacific Rim
Taking up a prime piece of real estate in one of the city’s most coveted corners, Fairmont Pacific Rim serves Vancouver to guests on a silver platter. Prepare to wake in one of the tallest buildings in town, over azure waters below you and soaring mountains beyond.Your days are spent exploring the metropolis on your doorstep, so make your way boldy through the jasmine-scented lobby. The BMW outside opens and beckons to whisk you away. Upon your return, get into the Canadian spirit with a maple sugar body scrub, before emerging on the rooftop with cocktails for a dazzling sunset.
Location
Housed within a 47-story skyscraper completed for the 2010 Winter Olympics, the hotel boasts a perfect position in a vibrant waterfront area. All of Vancouver’s main attractions are within walking distance, while the airport is reachable in 30 minutes.
Rooms
The 367 stays here are sleek and stylish, with high-tech luxury and over-sized marble bathrooms. However, it’s the Owner Suites that win points for seduction, with their vast soaker tubs, customisable vinyl collections and utterly stunning sea to mountain views.
Who is it for
Families are certainly welcome, though the overall mood is sophisticated and therefore more suited to couples and adult guests.
Facilities & activities
Alongside the modern gym, a BMW bicycle programme and car service, the property houses one of the best spas in the city. There’s also an outdoor pool, private cabanas and hot tubs on the rooftop, beside three delectable restaurants serving a variety of high-quality fare.
