I've stayed here four times in the last 10 years or so and this is easily one of my top 10 favourite hotels.

Vancouver is a great city and a stay at the Wedgewood is worth every penny. Each of our stays have been as memorable as the last. During our last stay we booked upgraded accommodations that included a separate bedroom and living area - as good as any suite in a four or five star hotel.

Although the environs and décor are most certainly that of a luxurious establishment we felt right at home and welcomed dressed and acting like tourists. The lobby and front desk staff were quite friendly and helpful with the check-in process and handling of our luggage.

Rooms are large, spacious and comfortable and there's never any noise heard from other guests - this is a solidly built hotel. The amenities are plentiful - and some even very unique, like the jogging map printed on a piece of stiff paper in the shape of a running shoe complete with a white shoelace tied to it. After a long day out doing touristy things in and about Vancouver it's great to come back to a room with a jacuzzi tub and a bed so comfortable you drift off to sleep in no time at all.

The location is excellent as well and no matter what the weather we've found it easy to get around without having to have our own car. Four blocks and a few minutes' walk to the east and you are at the waterfront, Canada Place, the cruise ship terminal and a SkyTrain stop. From there ferries to North Vancouver only take 12 minutes. In the other direction albeit a little further it's still a reasonable walk to the Aquabus shuttle to Granville Island. 10 minutes to the north you can rent 10 and 15 speed bikes and enjoy an hour or a day's ride in Stanley Park and around the city.

One of Vancouver's more acclaimed restaurants is also at the Wedgewood: the 4-star Bacchus Restaurant. If you'd like to enjoy some exquisite French cuisine best to make reservations early as this restaurant is always busy. For us we had such a memorable meal during our stay four years prior we booked with the Bacchus for our final departing dinner. And four years later we again had a most wonderful meal. But even more interestingly we had the same waiter who actually remembered us from our previous visit!

After our departure I took the time to fill out one of those typical guest comment cards like you find in most hotels. Although I had no complaints I was surprised that I actually received a brief note back from the property's manager - a nice touch indeed.

Though I usually look for hotel properties where we can earn our frequent guest points with - whilst in Vancouver we'll always opt for the Wedgewood Hotel.

We stayed at this delightful hotel for 3 nights in September, 2006 just before boarding our cruise ship.

It is in a wonderful position, close to all the shops and we were given a lovely front room. We had a weekend package with bed and breakfast which we felt was good value.

The only downside was that we ate in their Bacchus Restaurant one night and we felt the meal was rushed. We were out within 45 minutes which to us was far too rapid. We do like to linger over a meal especially when we are paying top dollar.

That is our only criticism of a great hotel.

The Wedgewood staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. They continued to look after our every need with efficiency we had not experienced elsewhere in Canada for the duration of our short stay. The rooms were large and very comfortable, the staff knowledgable and friendly and the food was some of the best we ate on our three week trip; this was made more enjoyable by the eagerness of the restaurant staff to adapt meals to suit dietary requirements / whims!

I couldn't recommend the Wedgewood highly enough as a very luxorious and comfortable base to explore Vancouver from whether it is for business or pleasure. If i return to Vancouver I will definitely be giving the Wedgewood a call!

Stayed at the Wedgewood Aug 18-22 celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. I was a little nervous, given the couple of less-than-wonderful reviews I read on trip advisor. For those of you questioning whether or not to go, I must say: DO NOT HESITATE booking at the Wedgewood! I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about the Wedgewood and the amazing staff. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendliest doorman (Martin) who made a great first impression. He was always quick to retrieve our car, hold the door open for us, or hail a cab for us. The staff at the Reception Desk wereALWAYS cheerful and helpful, and especially our dear Gillian, who helped us numerous times, always with a smile. Our Deluxe Executive Room room was terrific -- loved the bed (comfy with great linens) and absolutely perfect pillows. TV was large and easy to see from bed and was housed in a lovely armoire. The TV was also visible from the in-room tub (which was great fun and was CLEAN). I adored the marble bathroom and magnificent shower, which was made of tumbled marble tile -- just lovely! Frette towels were divine. Dinner at Bacchus (the on-site restaurant) was just amazing ... great food (try the mussel soup!), warm, romantic ambiance. We had drinks in the lounge one night and were so comfortable that we stayed for dinner. On the day of our 30th anniversary, we treated ourselves to massages in the Spa, and what a delight!!!! If you want to stay in a hotel that makes you feel pampered in every way, go to the Wedgewood. As I said, I was a little nervous, but if you are appreciative of fine antiques, lovely Oriental carpets and other special pieces, you will love this place ... very "upscale European" feel to it, although the rooms are certainly larger than any you will find in Europe! I searched for MONTHS AND MONTHS for a place to go to celebrate our 30th, and I was not disappointed. The biggest compliment to the Wedgewood was my husband's reaction -- he was thrilled with the place, and did not want to leave. I simply cannot imagine how someone would think the place is "worn" or "tired" -- a competitor writing a review, perhaps? I am only writing this review to assure potential customers that they WILL NOT be disappointed if they stay at the Wedgewood. I only dream that one day I can go back .. .
