Guest Review of the Renaissance Vancouver Hotel Harbourside
July 11, 2011
Even thought the main structure is not the newest, the main areas and the rooms are nicely renovated; providing plenty of comfort and everything else you'd expect from this category of hotels. Some of the rooms offer a nice view over the Harbour, including an interesting view of the seaplane airport operation. Convenient location, halfway between Stanley Park and the city center, almost everything is at walking distance. Very polite and helpful staff.
I had a very pleasant stay and i'm looking forward to go back, however, i have to mention a couple of minor remarks: from inside the room, i found the elevators a bit noisy when rumbling up and down, the old air-conditioning pack in the room is definitely too noisy and the Internet rated excessively expensive.
Room Tip: The room on the Harbour side have a nice view and are quieter.

The hotel is in a great location just a couple of minutes walk from the convention center, and its harbor view rooms look out across the Harbour. Our interconnecting rooms were spacious, and the beds were really comfortable. We had a very pleasant dinner one night in the hotel restaurant, and enjoyed the breakfast buffet and coffee machine in the Club lounge. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and we got some great sightseeing advice from the concierge, Alex. Will definitely stay here again!
Room Tip: Free computer access in the lobby

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night in June 2011 prior to leaving on a cruise.

The club level floors are the 18th and 19th floors, but the club lounge closes at 11am on Friday and doesn't reopen until Sunday at 5pm, so be aware of that if you are staying on a Friday or Saturday night. Since my husband is a platinum member, he talked the desk into giving us coupons to have breakfast in the restaurant since the club lounge was not open while we stayed there. The breakfast in the restaurant was a large buffet with lots of choices including an omelet station.

We were in a large room on the 18th floor. We had an enclosed/glassed in balcony with great views of the harbor and float planes. Our room was a typical Marriott room in terms of decoration, but I can't emphasis enough how huge our room was. We spread out all of our luggage and had lots of room to spare. There was also lots of desk/work space. We spent quite a bit of time sitting on the balcony watching the float planes land and take off. There was an in room safe, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, robe, lots of closet space, coffee and tea. The only thing we didn't like was the bathroom was very small, there was not a separate sink and toilet/shower area, and there was no way to lock the bathroom door.

There is lots of sitting space in the lobby area just to hang out. There were also two computers with free Internet access in the lobby.

It is about a 4-5 block walk (downhill) to the convention center/Canada Place/cruise ship port from the Renaissance hotel. We didn't take a cab, but I suppose you could if you didn't want to walk (you could expect a 2 minute cab ride for about $5).

This hotel would have far superior views of the harbor than the Marriott across the street, so if you are deciding between the two hotels, go with the Renaissance.

Room Tip: ask for a water view

I stayed here over a weekend in June. The staff were very friendly and the room was good (oddly shaped though). My friend would be upset if I didnt mention the parking though. It's hard to see how to exit signs in the parking. They dont have big signs but those small exit signs by stairways!
