We stayed here in May, 2011 after travelling for around three or more weeks it was the last stop on our trip. It was a nice looking hotel, we checked in with friends and were given a twin room which we hadn't realized the travel agent had booked instead of a king. We were told by our staff member that we could change to another room no problems, but our friends were told they would have to pay for an upgrade and that there weren't any rooms available. Then our staff member told the other one that there was one room left and so she changed theirs as well. The rooms were large and really nice with big comfy beds. The rooms were cleaned each day and we didn't see the cleaners anytime during the stay which is good when you are tired and just want to have a rest. The breakfast was good if a bit pricey but my husband said he had the best Eggs Benedict of the trip there. The location is fantastic the bus tours stop across the road every 20 mins or so and this is really convenient. We did go over to check out the new Fairmont around the corner and this seemed to host a slightly younger crowd than our hotel and the actual hotel was a bit more contemporary had a band playing in the lobby area which were really good. This hotel provides a piano player who is good but the entertainment is more refined and aimed at a slightly older crowd than what we were. Staff were great in the bar area couldn't do enough and the concierge was helpful although we did ask about a mexican restaurant in Gastown and while she offered us a few other restaurant names she didn't tell us not to go there and unfortunately this was the worst food of the whole trip and we got to sit and watch people selling drugs out the window, so that wasn't the best experience. All in all this is a really good hotel in a great location.

We stayed at the Fairmont after arriving at the Canada Place Crusie Terminal. The ship arrived about 8 a.m. and we were off by 9:15. Walked across the street and checked in immediately. The front desk staff made every effort to accommodate us and gave us a beautiful room with a view of the cruise terminal. The bell staff were very friendly and prompt with our luggage.
The room was well-appointed with extremely comfortable beds (great pillows too). Perfectly clean and updated. The location was just right for us to tour the city and close to AVIS rental car pick up the next day. We had dinner in the restaurant and were most impressed with the service and quality of food.
Very expensive meal, but we thought the price was fair. Note: our only surprise was that our 8 year old daughter was not allowed in the hotel lounge area ( due to alcohol being served) so we had pre-dinner cocktails in the completely empty dining room - next to the lounge.
Great stay and we would not hesitate to return even if not arriving on a cruise. It was a good location from which to tour downtown.

I stayed here midweek for business in early January when the town was still sleeping off its New Years' party hangovers. Consequently, the hotel was nice and quiet - such that I was comp'd a free room upgrade to a beautiful harbour view room! When vacancy permits, free upgrades are permitted, which I love about Fairmont. As I had signed up for the free Presidents' Club ahead of time, I had free WIFI during my stay. The staff were supah-friendly and as a solo female traveller, made me feel safe and comfortable.

I dined in the lounge one night, where the wait staff were all very pleasant and offered great service. I custom designed my own pizza, which was phenomenally tasty - perfect for a cold winter's night!

I had stayed at this hotel about 15 years ago and can say that not much has changed structurally, but the decor, bedding, etc has definitely been updated, as with the televisions. I'd return for the location, service, facilities and view!

This hotel is nice but not worthy of the same rating as a top hotel. I arrived late last night, and was handed keys at the entrance as a "President's Club member." The keys hadn't been activated, however, and didn't work in the door. Room is nice (nice size, room has side view of water. . and air conditioning equipment on roof next door). No separate shower. No bathrobe. Called to ask for the New York Times to be delivered in the morning, and was told it can be obtained by walking to the Pan Pacific Hotel across the street. (Message to self: I should have stayed there!) At 6:30am, the alarm rang. I guess management doesn't instruct cleaning staff to turn alarms off when people leave. I'm hoping the rest of my stay is smoother.
