“Don't believe the hype!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

Let's set the record straight immediately. There is nothing luxurious or "boutique" about this hotel.
I believe they purchased their title.

The positives are proximity to BC Place, Gastown, Robson street shopping, free in-house basic Gym, free internet. Clean basic rooms, comfortable bed.

Beyond that I won't bother you with everything that happened during my ten day business stay save for these few facts:

I had to change rooms 4 times due to noise.

Upon check-in I requested a quiet room and was placed directly in front of the elevators.
When I requested to be moved I was then given a room overlooking a major construction site!?
My next room had a communicating door but this establishment never had the presence of doubling them on either side. So following a party that felt as if it was in my room I moved again.
If you check in make sure NOT to get a room with a communicating door!

The heating system in the room is noisy.
In fact they seem to be on to the noise here but are unwilling to do something about it as the first thing you see upon arrival in your room are earplugs prominently placed on the night stand...

The water pressure in the bathrooms is subpar and it takes quite a long time to get hot water.

Be warned! If you forget your "Do Not Disturb" Card the maid service might start knocking at your door at 7h30 AM!?

TV reception is terrible. Most remote controls are slow and sluggish.

The hallways are frigid in winter causing cold damp air to be sucked into the rooms. When I mentioned this to the clerk at the front desk he explained without apology that they had air purifier ducts on the roof and that's how it was. The fire exit and elevator doors are filthy.

Frankie's restaurant in the lobby is expensive for low quality standard fare.

I want to salute here the work of Mr. Fukushima the Front Office Manager and a few of his colleagues for sincerely trying to right the wrongs but the truth is the rest of the hotel just does not cut it.

In short don't believe the hype or the marketing on the website.

This place is clean and convenient for a night or two only but it is as generic as any Marriott and no where near what it is pretending to be.

Room Tip: Don't sleep in the communicating rooms. If you want to eat-in grab some Take-Away on Robson Str...

“VERY PLEASURABLE STAY - GREAT HOTEL, GREAT STAFF!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012 via mobile

We had a room on the 11th floor, overlooking the stadium. When we entered the room, we noticed earplugs on the side tables, which were a littlle offputting! We found out later that night that there was a concert in the stadium opposite, and the hotel staff had provided earplugs to all rooms, should they have trouble sleeping. Very thoughtful! I did use them but the concert finished at midnight and the hotel itself was very quiet. The room was very spacious and the bed extremely comfortable. Everything was extremely clean and well appointed and walking distance to the shopping areas. Used the gym both mornings, valued by a steam sauna and a hot spa. A great way to start the day. We had breakfast in Frankies every morning. The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and nothing was a problem. We would definitely stay here again on our trips to Vancouver and would highly recommend the Georgian Court Hotel to others. Complimentary shuttle bus to the down town area also available, as well as umbrellas to use for the rainy weather we encountered.

“Nice Surprize”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

I recently stayed at this hotel and while initally reluctant due to the location I found the hotel a pleasant surprize.

I had a standard room with two double beds in a quite part of the hotel and with the room facing the street. I arrived to Vancouver on an early flight and got to the hotel expecting to have to leave my bags and come back to check in later in the day. However, the front desk was very welcoming and found a room for me immediatly.

I had some family members come into Vancouver to visit and spend the night with my and for one night my neice and her young son got lost and when they finally found the Georgian Court the front desk allowed her to park in the hotels parking and come in a register rather then park, register then move to the hotel parking lot. After the stress of being lost my niece was most appreciative.

I had some problems with using the phone for long distance and was assisted right a ways when I called for help. When we ran out of coffee and asked for more we were brought more then enough extra coffee paks. When we began using the Aveda products in the bathroom they were promptly replaced.

All in all it was a pleasant stay. Only caveat is one of the elevators were under repair so they were down to one elevator in service. (Expect that to change of course)

“Comfortable and Very Nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

My wife and I stayed at the Georgian Court Hotel in downtown Vancouver. We came up to visit the Christmas Market on the Queen Elizabeth Theater Plaza just one block away and spent a Saturday night at the hotel. It being an "off season" there were few people at the hotel, the underground parking garage was empty, and there were no shows or major events at the sports stadium just across the street. It was a comfortable and quiet (still the hotel provides earplugs next to the bed for light sleepers). The room we had was clean, comfortable and well furnished. The artwork was tasteful. The bed and linens were nice. The bathroom was clean and well appointed with Aveda soaps and fluffy towels. The front desk gave us great service, and the housekeepers were friendly and curteous. We ate dinner at the restaurant downstairs and although the noise level was a bit loud, the food and service were excellent. Parking at the hotel is $18 per night, and breakfast is not included so just factor that into the hotel price. The only two negatives to report were simple slip-ups; the housekeeper accidentally left her cleaning rags in the sink after she left and the front desk forgot to present us with our pre-paid breakfast vouchers at check-in. Otherwise it was a very good experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to someone wanting a place to stay while exploring the city or spending the night after a show or sporting event.

Room Tip: Get a room on the 11th floor overlooking the sports stadium. You get a nice sunrise over the city in...

“Lovely hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

We are Van locals but stayed here one evening as our 8yr old was performing in the Nutcracker at the QET 2 blocks away.
This is a lovely hotel, which appears to have had some new renos and updates. You would never know this from the outside (looks '80s), or by its pretentious name, but it really is a wonderful little boutique hotel.
Because there is no hockey season this year, it was pretty quiet, but I can definitely predict that this would not be a quiet venue had there been an event at BC Place as this hotel is right at the front step of BC place.
Service was great. Check-in was fast and they accommodated a late check out request without a problem.
Would most definitely stay here again!

Room Tip: Facing away from BC place would be quieter.
