Refreshing sleep after a long trip. Very clean and comfortable room. Excellent service at front desk. The bar downstairs has ok food, nice area to relax. Took a while to walk to the hotel from terminal because we arrived at C but international is right in front.
I was travelling with my two young kids. No husband in tow and it was a very challenging experience for me. I missed my connecting flight due to my first flight being delayed. Coming home from holidays my kids were over tired & missed their dad. Long story short. I needed a place to stay, I ended up at the elevator of the fairmont yvr with my screaming two year old & around the corner comes Naryan. Hero #1. Instantly offers me a water and assists me onto the elevator while my son is still screaming. He didn’t even ask if I was staying at the fairmont. He didn’t think twice about helping me. Amazing human being. Once he assisted me to the front desk the tears started rolling down my face as I told him I didn’t have a room and was hoping they could accommodate. Which is when the lovely Jenny stepped in. Hero #2. So calm, so supportive. Another amazing human being. Grabbed me tissues. She Took control of the situation & I appreciated it so much. While I was speaking with Jenny, Naryan quickly grabbed a box full of stuffed toys behind the counter and offered them to my kids. At that time, my son had finally calmed down thanks to Naryan. My Long story short… isn’t so short anymore! I realize the importance of explaining my situation to really emphasize the appreciation I had and have for Jenny & Naryan. The second my kids entered the room it felt like a huge weight off my shoulders. Their joy to see the runway and planes was incredible and quickly changed everyone’s moods. Mine especially. And that was all thanks to Jenny. I worked at the fairmont waterfront from 2013-2018 and now live in beautiful Smithers, BC. But it reminded me why I loved working at the Fairmont. The people you work with was always the reason to stay. Oh & The BATHTUB was hero #3. There is No one Better then the Fairmont. End of Story!…
So convenient to be at the airport and not have to go outside and take a taxi. Reduces time in the morning when catching a flight. The room was great and the bathroom was amazing! Many homes don’t have one as nice. Slight drawback is nowhere to eat after midnight.
Exceptional venue, we stayed here the night before catching our flight to Europe. Rooms are very spacious, clean and have a view on the departing flights (but zero noise! ). Amazing facilities, pool & gym are very well equipped. Nice dinner at the Jetside Lounge.
Stayed here for two nights, exceptional hotel. The staff were amazing, and the food second to none. It made our 50th wedding anniversary very special and something to remember. To watch planes land and take off from your bedroom is an amazing sight.
Generally as per every year we're here, though breakfast buffet is much missed - and only real orange or other juice should be served at a hotel of this standard; also, valet parking has been removed which is a big negative
We had the pleasure of a stay in runway view suite on Christmas Eve. The room was immaculate, comfy, well equipped, and a great view of the planes coming and going. With an early morning flight, checking in the day before just started our vacation early; pool and jacuzzi swim, cocktails, delicious dinner. And mostly a 5 minute walk down stairs to the airport check-in counter. I'm now a big fan of the Fairmont Vancouver.
A wonderful oasis amid the often chaotic airport terminal. Fantastic place to start your journey if you've a morning flight, or a great place to ease back on your return. Gold Floor Lounge was a great place to watch the traffic on the runway and taxi ways as you enjoy some evening hors d'oeuvres and a beverage. The breakfast is great in the morning as well. Room service for dinner...exceptional!
We had a great visit to the hotel on Christmas Day. We chose not to have the turkey dinner but it was available for us if we wanted it. We always stay here before trips. Wonderful service in the lounge and the comfiest room. We always have a great sleep there!
Super convenient to stay here before an early flight. Takes just minutes from the hotel to security. Friends and family from Vancouver joined us for dinner which was very nice and their parking was complimentary. The lounge is a nice place to watch the airport and unwind.
