The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the high-tech rooms and the lobby sushi, but the price tag for parking and breakfast stings.
Fairmont Pacific Rim
$300-550/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want to be the main character in a glossy Vancouver lifestyle magazine—art, sushi, and seaplanes included.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- The 'Vancouver's Living Room' lobby vibe that feels like a destination in itself
- Floor-to-ceiling harbour views that watch seaplanes land right outside your window
- The rooftop pool deck with fire pits that stays relevant even in the rain
Kurzfassung: It's the flashiest hotel in the city, which means you're paying for the scene as much as the sheets.
Bewertet von @rockmydeejay: I took my girls here for a birthday staycation and it was honestly the bougiest weekend ever. We popped champagne in the massive tub, had an incredible dinner at Botanist downstairs, and recovered in the heated pool the next morning. 10/10 would recommend.

- You love a hotel lobby that doubles as a social club with live music

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'City View' is a euphemism for 'Office Building View'—you might be making eye contact with workers next door.
💡The lobby scent is distinct and pumped in heavily; you'll either love the 'waterfall' freshness or find it perfumey.
💡You don't need to stay here to use the best parts: The Lobby Lounge and Botanist are open to the public and are the main vibe.
💡The pool deck loses direct sun earlier than you'd think due to the surrounding skyscrapers.
💡Room service breakfast is excellent but will cost you nearly $100 CAD for two people after taxes and fees.
