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 .. .

This was a very pleasant 5 night stay at the start of our holiday in Canada. The staff were polite, courteous and knowledgeable. Check-in and valet parking were swift and efficient, and the room (304) was large, with the bath in the main room, and a separate large shower and bathroom. Toiletries and towels were plentiful and kept well stocked, and the bed was really comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, and the turndown cookies were divine! It was a nice touch as well to have a welcome box of chocolates with a hand-written note from the owner.
The gym is tiny, and you would be advised to get there by 0800 to avoid waiting for a turn, but this was OK for us as we were not yet keyed into the 8 hr time difference. The hotel was able to book excellent restaurants for us, give hints as to what was good, shopping places, book ferry tickets etc. We ate breakfast there once (excellent) and dinner once (very very good). There are lots of other places to eat round town within 5-30 minutes walking distance. Cin Cin was good, but C was a really good meal, sitting outside overlooking Granville Island and watching the sun go down. Very memorable.
It was great that the staff remembered us when we were back for 1 night a week later after our return from Vancouver Island. Little things like this make this hotel truly memorable. If we go to Vancouver again, we would not even consider staying anywhere else.

This is a luxurious and well run environment. The staff are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Valet parking was prompt and efficient in a busy part of Vancouver. The restaurant and lounge bar provided excellent food, including catering for our various dietary needs and personal preferences. It was one of the few hotels we visited where vegans weren't reduced to eating lettuce and tomatoes.

It is worth surfing the agencies to get a good price for a hotel that will prove well worth the money. The element of personal service is strong in the management here so most needs can be met with a conversaton. All six of us loved this place and would happily return tomorrow!

I have stayed at this Hotel almost every time I have been to Vancouver since 1988, (the other Hotels pale in comparison). I find the service excellent, the restaurant and lounge are delightful and the rooms are beautifully presented, with the linens being crisp white, and the TV hidden in an Armoire. I usually stay in an executive room or a small suite, and find them both comfortable and very functional. I stay in many hotels world wide and this one is superior for it's price range. The hotel goes out of it's way to make the stay as pleasant as they can, from the chocolates upon arrival, the turn down service, with water and biscuits in the evening, to the friendly staff. I even had the misfortune to be quite ill once when staying there, and I was checked on during the day, water left at my door as not to disturb me, and the concierge went to my vehicle to get me pain medication - outstanding. The location is excellent, right by the Art Gallery, shopping on Robson Street, along with several great restaurants in all price ranges. It is a short walk down to Stanley Park, and as a tourist visiting the City for the 1st time, I could not think of a better location or Hotel to stay in. Ask for a room over the Court Rooms, for a view of City Life.
