The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

Frommer's Review

Thanks to a C$75-million (US$63-million/£34-million) renovation, the grande dame of Vancouver's hotels has been restored to its former glory. A landmark in the city since it first opened in 1939, and located directly across from busy Robson Square and the Vancouver Art Gallery, the hotel has been completely brought up to 21st-century standards but retains its very old-fashioned, traditional elegance. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and comfortable, if not particularly dynamic in layout or finish. The bathrooms gleam with marble floors and sinks, and you just don't find solid tubs like these anywhere anymore. The courtyard suites feature a large, luxuriously furnished living room, separated from the bedroom by glass French doors. A state-of-the-art spa features day packages and a la carte treatments including body scrubs and wraps.
