The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

An oldie, but one hell of a goodie.

The Grande Dame of Vancouver's classic hotels, The Fairmont is as charming as ever and still boasts some of the city's biggest rooms. Claiming an intriguing style mix of British Columbia meets an Old English Castle, you can imagine furnishings are on the plump side, with plenty of gilt edging and curlicued fabrics. More intriguingly, the 9th floor is home to a 'hotel within a hotel' in the shape of the Fairmont Gold, a favourite amongst visiting celebrities, complete with its own private check-in desk, lounge, honour bar and concierge service. Breathe in Old Vancouver at its finest, with the Vancouver Art Gallery across the street and Tiffany's next door, or visit the ritzy Snowflake Boutique for your last minute mountaineering needs.

Top Tip / UJ Loves: Join the hotel's 'President's Club' program for free online before you arrive, and get your own check-in and out lane as well as free internet access during your stay.
