Excellent service at the FM Waterfront. The attentive staff goes over and above to make you feel comfortable and welcome. Truly one of the best of the waterfront hotels in downtown Vancouver (having stayed in most of them) for overall experience and guest service.

Hotel's Favorite
Canada has always been on our bucket list of places to visit. We relied on our AAA travel agent and wow, she picked an excellent place. The room was nice and spacious and we had a great Harbor view. The bed was amazing . The bathroom was nice and had a television, built into the mirror!! As far as amenities, this is everything it had to.offer……they call it Fairmont Gold Amenities: Private check in and check out Exclusive use of the Fairmont Gold Lounge and gardened terrace, overlooking Vancouver’s harbor. Complimentary deluxe European buffet breakfast served between 6:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. weekdays and 7:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. weekends. Complimentary selection of house-made pastries and savory snacks served between 12:00 - 4:00 p.m. daily. Complimentary selection of hot and cold canapés served between 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. daily. Complimentary mineral water, soft drinks, coffee, espresso drinks and selection of teas. An honor bar is available to enjoy daily from 12:00pm - 9:30pm where charges will apply for alcoholic beverages. They even had gluten free items. In addition to all that, the service was excellent. The staff was so professional, so courteous and so very sweet. Two of the employees, Duygu and Katiuska, gave exceptional service. Definitely coming back.

From the moment Samuel (special shout out to him) welcomed us we felt very valued customers. This hotel is in a great location and has an amazing staff; everyone was so polite and helpful from the concierge and the bell team to the bar staff! Samuel helped upgrade our room which had a fabulous aspect over the harbour. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

A wonderful stay with an exciting view of the city and a location in the heart of it all! We rode bikes to the aquarium and around Stanley park - the hotel has some bikes that can be booked for 2 hour rides. The pool was nice even in the cold evening and the view from the pool was enjoyable. All of our requests were met immediately, politely and friendly by AJ going the extra mile to proved slippers when leaving the pool barefoot. We will plan a trip back for location, service, amenities and friendliness. Thank you

The FAIRMONT VANCOUVER WATERFRONT HOTEL is full of dogs. We counted 15 dogs yesterday walking through the lobby and into the elevators including German Shepherds and Rottweilers. Be very very careful because some of these dogs are attack dogs and there is a RISK of getting bitten. I spoke to Mena a manager at Fairmont and she said that there is NO policy for animals and dogs at the hotel. She said the only thing they would provide is a first-aid kit. Also there are ONLY 2 FLOORS in this hotel (out of 20+ floors) that are human friendly and no dogs. The rest of the floors (the majority) have had animals in them mainly dogs. Beware that the floors in the bedrooms and living rooms are carpeted and when a pet urinates or defecates on the carpet it is difficult to get this removed so there is contamination. For pets that sleep in beds, this is even more disturbing. Beware of potential infestation or contamination in the beds. WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND STAYING AT THIS HOTEL CHAIN.

Everything about our stay at the Fairmont Waterfront was perfect. The location is amazing - we could walk to almost everywhere we wanted to go. Even Stanley Park was only about 30 minutes by foot. Every staff member we dealt with - check-in/check-out, concierge, bellhop - went out of his/her way to help us. Tons of eating places within a few hundred feet. And our room had amazing harbor views! Highly recommended.

We stayed here for a week and had a pleasant stay for the most part; but there are a few points that could help improve guest experience. - the front desk was understaffed especially in the evenings. Their treatment in response to guest’s request was too strict in my opinion - the pool staff were sort of rude to ask us to leave at the end of the day. We are there to relax and words can be said nicely - the breakfast buffet was repetitive and lacked special flavors. Ala Carte menu was tasty but showed no change over the many night. - there was a huge crowd in the restaurant every day at the lunch and dinner from outside, with little or no priority given to hotel guests. It is a downtown area to be understood but there should be a way to treat hotel guests staying there better. - the valet/parking was insanely expensive. Again downtown location and all that, but $75 per night for parking was overpriced

Wonderful and attentive staff on the Gold Floor! Food was fantastic throughout each day and had a good variety to choose from. We also enjoyed the warm outdoor pool and hot tub. Looking forward to visiting again! Easy check in and check out, rooms were nice and had everything we needed. Anything that was missing was quickly attended to by the Gold Concierge. Thanks for making our stay so wonderful!

The room and hotel staff were excellent, friendly, clean and proffesional and what I expect at a Fairmont. A couple things were annoying but I would assume easy to fix. I was unable to connect to the wifi with my laptop because the "accept the terms and conditions" page where I was asked for the password and room number was a pop up that wouldn't load, we tried many times but eventually I just used my phone as a hotspot.I was using a new MacBook Pro. The second small inconvenience was that the weekend morning breakfast at the ARC restaurant included an all you can eat sampler-type menu for $65 and you order off a list of items and the server brings them to you... I did not want a big breakfast and I wanted to order the eggs Benedict with arugula salad... however, my husband was looking forward to the sampler menu. Unfortunately, our server relayed to us that we could not have the all you can eat option unless we both ordered it... and so my husband wound up ordering something he didn't really want and it overall seemed like an unnecessary policy and we definitely would have preferred to know this before we sat down so we could have chosen another restaurant. The restaurant service was very slow and the eggs Benedict had good flavour but was served at room temperature which is not great when you're having hollandaise. Overall pretty disappointing meal but luckily there are so many great restaurants close to the hotel that it didn't affect us much. There is a Starbucks directly across the road from the hotel which was great and needed since we did not have coffee pods in the room for some reason. Also the rooftop pool, hot tub and gym are very nice and we loved spending time there... Despite the frustration with the wifi and the "meh" restaurant experience we really enjoyed our stay at The Fairmont Waterfront and would definitely recommend it as a wonderful central location to stay in Vancouver.

The hotel was nice but for the cost we had to many issues. Upon booking I was told check in was 3pm but requested early room availability and was told it should not be a problem. We arrived at 1pm and a room was not available and were told that it would be about a half hour and they would call us. We went to the restaurant bar and waited. At 3pm I went to the concierge and asked them to check on the status. they came back and said it would be ready in 10 min. and gave us 2 complementary drinks in the bar. At 3:30 it was still not ready so we checked our luggage and went to the market. When we returned at 5pm we still had not been notified of the room number so again I checked and was given a room number and we went up to the room. upon getting to the room our card keys did not work on the door so I called down to the desk and they said they would send someone up asap to fix the issue. Almost 30 min later someone did show up and give us new room keys that worked. When we booked our room we asked for Brunch reservations and were told they were booked but said they kept table open for guests. We went to the restaurant a half hour before Brunch and were told that they would could get us in at 1pm, a wait of 3 hours. I informed them of what I was told and she said she could put me on a waiting list and I accepted. We waited about an hour and while waiting talked to some of the other guests that were on the waiting list that checked in after us and then proceeded to get tables before us (4 couples to be exact) I went back up to the desk and asked about it, and there answer was that we were just over looked and that now we had to stick to the 1pm time. after asking to speak to a manager, all of a sudden there was an open table and the reception was very rude about the whole incident. For the premium location and price I would not stay here again. I will say the Concierge was very nice and did what she could.
