Fairmont Pacific Rim

Canada is one of the world's most sought-after luxury destinations. A good number of extravagances sit in its west coast province that is British Columbia. To name just one, Fairmont Pacific Rim, a luxury hotel, nestles in downtown Vancouver. Moreover, it is less than an hour's drive from the YVR Airport, is worth every penny and every hour of your stay.

Location and Welcoming

Just ten minutes away from the bustling Gas Town's shopping and dining district, Fairmont Pacific Hotel is teeming with intrigue and exceptional delight. With its contemporary design and modern relaxed aura, it is the height of urban living. Guests experience calming ocean and mountain views — a delight for a memorable vacation.

A water feature entrance greets visitors on arrival. Smartly dressed doormen open doors, where lavishness bombards visitors. You will marvel at the vast Italian marble and American walnut decor style of the lobby's most prominent design elements. The scent of Indian Jasmine fills the air, and sunlight trickles through the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. 

There is also a hotel's social hub, where guests go for a light breakfast and brunch. Besides, you can have a friendly or flirty chat with fellow patrons. The mood is impeccable with melodious live music, played on either the guitar or a Fazioli piano. Hanging above the piano is a beautiful sculpture locally crafted by origami master Joseph Wu.

The lively atmosphere further compliments with a bar serving signature cocktails and mild drinks alike.

Rooms and Suites

After hearing about the grand yet casual vibe of the lobby, one might expect the rooms to be equally exquisite. Rest assured, they really are. Fairmont Pacific features 367 rooms and suites designed condominium style. High-tech is the point in each room, giving guests the ability to control everything. From room temperature via the in-room touchscreen panel to the opening of drapes and the controlling lights with a provided iPad — technology defines convenience. 

The hotel's posh vinyl collection and record player also aid for personal music tastes and escapes. Using only whites, blacks, grays, and different shades of wooden browns, the neutral-toned patterns portray fine minimalism and complement each room's casual aesthetic.

A comfortable bed with wooden posters gives each room a homely feel. Rich marble bathrooms that are spacious make the neutral-toned color pattern more distinguishable. Each bedroom also encompasses a soaker bathtub and standalone shower. Additionally, there are open wood cabinets with clean, oversized Mascioni towels and bathrobes.

Room Views and Comfort

Beautiful flowers in white vases are placed around the rooms and bathrooms, adding a touch of extra color and warmth. The suites share a stunning poolside view, tempting guests to take a dip in the clear blue waters. 

An additional rooftop pool with a wide deck and views of the city is also available. Besides,  visitors who need more privacy can rent a cabana for a reasonable price. Guests on the Fairmont Gold floor have access to free drinks and snacks and a scrumptious breakfast buffet.

One of the biggest upsides of staying in one of Fairmont Pacific Rim's rooms and suites is the stunning view of Coal Harbor, Stanley Park, and the distant North Shore Mountains. Such overload of nature looking out the window is breathtaking. That combined with the neutral color-patterned room decor will give a feeling as if you are tucked away safely in a natural haven. 

Dining - Restaurants and Bars

Fairmont Pacific Rim boasts a 24-hour in-room experience that fully displays the essence of dining in Vancouver. The Botanist is a restaurant that offers a variety of dishes. Moreover, it has a champagne lounge and a cocktail bar highly inspired by botany and northwest of the Pacific.
