Named the iconic "Castle in the City", the Fairmont Vancouver Hotel, opened in 1939, has maintained its historic style with glittering chandeliers, marble floors, and original woodwork, even after a recent renovation. The hotel is rich in history, having hosted notable guests like King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. You can ask at the concierge desk to arrange a short, informal history tour and consider booking one of the Heritage Suite Collection. The rooms are beautifully designed, with Fairmont Gold rooms offering private check-in, dedicated concierge services, afternoon tea, and access to a private lounge. With a restaurant, bar, and spa, the hotel is ideal for a stay within walking distance from the waterfront.
