Can’t recommend this hotel enough! We’ve done our fair share of luxury travel and cannot remember being so well taken care of. The staff genuinely goes above and beyond to care of your every need — even putting out blackout paper on one of our doors because we were getting too much natural light (wild!) Special shoutout to Roland, our bartender at the Botanist, for his incredible hospitality. He had us laughing all night and felt so welcome as Vancouver first timers. The food and drink at Botanist are amazing. Even the breakfast included with FHR is quite good. Room service chicken wings were delivered quickly and piping hot both times we ordered it. We had the Ofuro tub room on the 18th floor and it was dreamy to wind down our days watching the sea planes take off and land. The view is stunning. If you’re a foodie, into cocktails, and appreciate food service this is definitely the right hotel for you. If you’re sensitive to sound, try to get a room on a higher floor.

I would give 10 out of 10 except for the fact the room service food was poor. The chicken strips were below average and the nachos were horrible. Very soggy chips, not at all crisp. We only ate about 10 percent of them. Very disappointing for such an amazing hotel. Experience in the lobby lounge was outstanding.

Beautiful hotel right by the waterfront with great views over the Pacific especially for sunrise. Location is perfect close to everything (city, restaurants, waterfront, Stanley Park). Nice lobby and bar area. Gym is spacious and very modern with some refreshments, red light therapy and pilates instruments. Pool offers nice views over the water. Come early there for sunny spots. Hotel has a great coffee in the lobby as well. (Giovane coffee does great ham and cheese croissant and cortados :) a very pleasant stay!

Go for gold. If you can, you should book Gold for business and especially for occasions that deserve to be celebrated. We've stayed Gold for business and having the Gold lounge Access is such a beautiful break from working in your hotel room, at the Pac Rim this is especially true with the ocean views on the patio. But in this particular visit we were here to celebrate with our kids too. We were spoiled with great service and special touches like kids sized robes and slippers in our room. The snacks throughout the day in the Gold lounge were delicious and well thought and most importantly not your standard Sysco and Gordon fare. Breakfast was a stand out and better than most restaurants you could go to in the city. The service was attentive and authentic. And most of all the location was beautiful and I could have spent the whole day drinking tea on that patio. We cannot wait to come back.

A fantastic experience. The location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around the city, especially when you’re on a busy business trip. What really stood out to me was the atmosphere. The lobby has a stylish, sophisticated ambience that immediately makes the hotel feel welcoming without being overly formal. It’s a great place to unwind after a long day of meetings or simply enjoy the energy of the hotel. One of my favorite touches was the sushi served in the lobby. It was a unique and enjoyable experience to be able to sit in such a beautiful setting and have excellent sushi right there. It added something special to the stay and made the hotel feel like more than just a place to sleep. Overall, the Pacific Rim combines a great location, beautiful atmosphere, and thoughtful dining experiences in a way that really stands out. I would definitely consider staying here again the next time I’m in Vancouver, whether for business or pleasure.

We had a fantastic stay in late August 2026 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. We previously stayed at this hotel back in 2016 and, thus, had experienced their high level of service before. I can attest that the hotel is still firing on all cylinders. We had dinner at the Lobby Lounge and Raw Bar our first evening. The menu has a great collection of sushi and Western-style dishes. We have 3 young kids in our family and all 5 of us had an incredible experience. The sushi was very high end and all of the dishes were spectacularly presented. I would give special praise to our server, Mackenzie. She was very attentive to our table, made excellent food recommendations and made sure our children were happy at all times. I hope that the hotel can acknowledge her wonderful service! After dinner, we walked just outside the hotel to the delicious gelato shop (Motoretta) that is less than a block away. I'd highly recommend this place for sweet bite after dinner! The housekeeping team also kept our rooms clean and well-stocked with needed supplies (toiletries, water, coffee, etc). They also performed and evening turndown service, which was also a nice touch. If possible, I'd recommend getting a harborside room. The views are absolutely beautiful. We used the swimming pool and hot tub as well. The area was well maintained and offered a great respite from the daytime heat. I also got coffee at the shop in the hotel lobby every morning. The baristas were friendly and were very quick at preparing espresso-type drinks. The lobby is also clean and modern. My wife and I got drinks at the lobby bar a couple of times. They do a great job of fostering a lively, energetic and fun vibe every evening! They also had live music every evening that we went to the bar. Another great perk of this hotel is the valet service. It was so convenient to just drive up to the entrance and drop the car off with the valet. Then I just had to call about 5 minutes before leaving our room and our car was ready each and every time. The valet team was SO efficient and we really appreciated it. Altogether, this is a spectacular luxury hotel in Downtown Vancouver! Don't let anyone tell you that this property isn't family friendly either.

We stayed the evening before our cruise and loved our short stay here. We arrived later in the afternoon and had a slight mistake (on our end) of the room request - wanting 2 beds vs 1 king. Amrita and the front desk staff were so helpful making that possible for us. As it was our mistake, they could have told us there was nothing they could do, but instead they made it happen. We are so appreciative they took the time to find an option for us. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is a nice vibe throughout the hotel. From the lobby bar to the restaurant we had breakfast (Botanist), the staff is so friendly, professional, and helpful. If you are taking a cruise, this is a perfect location. If you’re visiting Vancouver (no cruise), this is still a perfect location! Beautiful views and easy access (walking or otherwise) to wherever you want to go. We will definitely return here for our next trip to Vancouver.

I recently spent 3 nights at the Fairmont Pacific Rim during my first visit to Vancouver. I had a business trip to Seattle, and my partner decided to join me so we could drive up to Vancouver for a few days to celebrate my birthday. When choosing a hotel, I was really torn between the Fairmont Pacific Rim and the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. Both looked wonderful, but I ultimately decided on the Fairmont because I liked the idea of staying in a newer, more modern property with views of the harbor. Unfortunately, the only harbor view rooms available had two queen beds rather than a king, which I would have preferred. But I decided the view was more important, and I'm glad I did. We really enjoyed our stay. The room was beautiful, modern, and very comfortable. I especially appreciated all the upgraded technology and electronic features throughout the room. Everything felt well thought out, and the bathroom was equally impressive, especially the Le Labo toiletries. I really couldn't have asked for much more from the accommodations. The service was also excellent. Everyone we encountered was extremely friendly and helpful, particularly the bell and valet staff, who were wonderful throughout our stay. My only real criticism would be the atmosphere in the lobby, which can be extremely busy and loud. We arrived on a Saturday evening, and the lobby was so noisy that we could barely hear the front desk staff during check-in. It almost felt more like checking into a popular nightclub than a luxury hotel! Ha! Fortunately, it was considerably quieter the other evenings, so I suspect Saturday night is simply a particularly popular time for locals and visitors to gather there. Clearly, it's one of the places to be in Vancouver. Looking back, I suspect the Rosewood Hotel Georgia might have offered a quieter, more intimate luxury hotel experience, but we would have missed out on the beautiful harbor views and modern feel of the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Ultimately, I'm very happy with our choice. Overall, this is a beautiful luxury hotel with excellent accommodations, wonderful staff, and a fantastic waterfront setting. If you enjoy a modern luxury hotel with a lively atmosphere, I think you'll love it. I would absolutely stay here again, although next time I might try to find a harbor view room with a king bed!
