Dinner at Botanist
The dining room, garden and bar draw on the Pacific Northwest, from planting to local ingredients and cocktails.
Fairmont Pacific Rim
At Fairmont Pacific Rim, the spa opens onto a terrace of lanterns and sofas, above central Vancouver.
A week here, month by monthI would start with the outlook: Coal Harbour for the view, or the pool for a room with a patio or balcony. Then I would book spa time before dinner at Botanist.
Book directIs it for you?
For a stay together, I would choose Signature Ofuro. The bath and outlook give you a reason to return to the room before dinner.
- I’d ask for
- An upper-floor Signature Ofuro, with the outlook confirmed.
- Worth knowing
- Fairmont Spa costs extra beyond the room.

Your choices and answer, ready when you come back.
Like a regular
The bath to ask for
For a bath facing the view, I would ask for an upper-floor Signature Ofuro and confirm its outlook. A harbour-view room alone does not promise that bathroom.
Book the spa
Choose the treatment before setting aside spa time: it comes with access after the service. Staying at the hotel alone does not give free entry.
The right balcony
Deluxe Pool View gives you a patio or balcony facing the pool, but only some have an outdoor fireplace. If that is your evening plan, have it confirmed.
What Pacific Rim is
I would not choose the room by floor area alone. Several categories start at 37 m², but a city outlook and a harbour view give you different reasons to pause at the window. For a first Vancouver visit, I would spend on the outlook before extra space.
The reimagined spa gives the day a proper pause, with a salt sauna, steam and an outdoor terrace. Access costs extra even for hotel guests. Book a treatment or an access session rather than assuming a room key is enough.
The evening can stay in the hotel without staying in one setting: Botanist for dinner, The Lobby Lounge & RawBar for cocktails and live music. If seclusion is your priority, consider how much you want a lobby that also draws the city in for the evening.

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them
What do Fairmont Pacific Rim’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.
Location
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests like walking out towards the harbour, waterfront paths and city shops.
Room
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. The suites’ space and the bath are part of the pleasure of staying in.
Staff and service
Gold guests remember the lounge team and help with small problems along the way.
Breakfast
Guests enjoy the food and service at Botanist and with breakfast in their room.
Price
One guest found Gold’s food choice limited; another had to chase room cleaning.

185 guests said so on Google, from 18 February 2026 to 3 November 2026. Stored Google reviews dated from 4 November 2024; collections may stop at 300 or 2,000 reviews. The latest 500 with text, or every available text when fewer, are read the same way. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Vancouver: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 4 November 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
The hotels we weigh it against in Vancouver:

Evening
From table to bar

Fairmont Pacific Rim reviews
The lounge and a bath facing the harbour, alongside a guest who finds the room tired: individual experiences.

GoogleA pause in the lounge
A guest who also books Gold for work values the lounge as a change from the bedroom desk. On a stay with the children, breakfast, snacks and tea on the terrace stand out.

GoogleSeaplanes from the bath
A guest in an 18th-floor Ofuro room remembers watching seaplanes while unwinding in the bath. Food and cocktails also impress, with a higher floor recommended for anyone sensitive to sound.

GoogleA room that disappoints
One guest finds the bed uncomfortable and the room’s materials and carpet worn. The location and lobby impress, but do not outweigh that disappointment at the price paid.

Questions before you go
How much does a night at Fairmont Pacific Rim cost?
For one night for 2 adults: C$354 on 23 December 2026, C$486 on 18 January 2027, C$492 on 31 March 2027. These are the lowest seller prices for those dates searched separately; check the room, meals, taxes and cancellation in the chosen quote. Prices from Google Hotels, 3 November 2026.
Which room would I choose for the view?
Signature Harbour Mountain View for an outlook towards harbour, mountains or Stanley Park. If a bath facing the scenery is part of the trip, look at Signature Ofuro. Specify the exact outlook and floor in your request.
What does Fairmont Spa access cost for hotel guests and visitors?
Hotel guests pay CAD99 for 90 minutes. Visitors can book 90 minutes for CAD109, with sessions at 11am or 5pm. A booked treatment includes up to 2 hours of access afterwards.1
What is the difference between Fairmont and Fairmont Gold?
Fairmont Gold adds a lounge on the 20th floor and dedicated services. Gold rooms have different furnishings from the starting categories; views, baths and outdoor space still vary within Gold. Choose the room and check the benefits of the rate.
Are there rooms with 2 beds?
Fairmont, Deluxe City View, Deluxe Partial Harbour View and Signature Harbour Mountain View offer a king or 2 queens. Request 2 queens and confirm occupancy for adults and children, rather than inferring it from the beds alone.
Are the pool and Nordic Spa the same thing?
The pool and Jacuzzi are on the sixth-floor terrace. Nordic Spa uses part of the same area but is a separate paid 45-minute circuit for ages 14 and over; under-18s need an accompanying adult. The pool deck welcomes hotel guests of all ages.
Which suite has outdoor space?
Coal Harbour Corner Suite has a balcony; Pool View Suite has a patio or balcony with an outdoor fireplace. Fairmont Gold Corner Suite, Prime Minister Suite and Chairman’s Suite have their own terraces or patios, with different sizes and outlooks.
Where can I have breakfast, and when is dinner?
The Lobby Lounge serves breakfast daily from 7am to 11am. Botanist serves dinner daily from 5pm to 9.30pm, weekday lunch from 11.30am to 1.30pm, and weekend brunch from 11.30am to 2pm.123
Can you hold a small wedding at the hotel?
The Chairman’s Suite Terrace hosts intimate weddings for up to 30 guests, with packages starting at CAD4,000 including venue rental, an officiant, ceremony music and décor. Star Sapphire Ballroom accommodates events for up to 500 guests.123 Valet parking is included for the wedding couple, with preferential rates for attending guests.1
Does Botanist host a New Year’s Eve dinner?

Pan Pacific Singapore
I would use it for a busy Singapore trip: the hotel connects to Suntec, Marina Square and Millenia Walk. A stay spent mostly in a large garden calls for somewhere greener.
Shangri-La Singapore
This is where I would leave time for the children to play and for the hotel itself. A trip built around quick MRT journeys and frequent stops back at the room suits a more immediate city base.
The Landmark London
A Marylebone base to come back to, with tea beneath the palms and room to settle in upstairs.
The Peninsula London
I’d start with a Grand Premier Park room and its view of Wellington Arch, then make time for the long indoor pool. The Deluxe looks into the courtyard. This is a London stay with room for the hotel itself: a morning swim, a walk and dinner upstairs.
Corinthia London
I’d leave an evening unplanned here: a swim, a table downstairs, then upstairs. I’d choose it for a London trip where coming back is part of the pleasure; for days spent entirely out, I’d book somewhere simpler.
Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London
I’d begin London with the park and decide the rest later. The Hyde Park outlook is worth paying for if you mean to enjoy it upstairs too; for a room used only for sleep, start with the courtyard.
The Lanesborough
Dressing for dinner would be part of the pleasure here; I’d keep the morning free for the park. If you prefer a spare, understated bedroom, the fabrics and gilding ask for a different taste.
