Fairmont Waterfront

The rooftop outdoor heated pool offers panoramic views of the harbor and mountains, open year-round with a hot tub, steam room, and poolside towels. A 24,000 square feet event space with natural light connects directly to the Vancouver Convention Centre and Canada Place Cruise Ship Terminal. The hotel maintains a rooftop garden and a bee apiary as part of its sustainable practices, plus offers complimentary bicycle rentals to explore the seawall.

Each room features floor-to-ceiling windows and a flat-screen TV, minibar, in-room safe, bathrobes, and coffee and tea facilities. Guests on the Fairmont Gold floors (floors 8 and 9) get a private check-in area, an all-day lounge with breakfast, snacks, drinks, and an outdoor deck. Rooms are non-smoking and include allergy-free options, with accessible rooms available that offer harbor views and a walk-in shower.

The hotel sits across the street from the Vancouver Convention Centre, Canada Place, and the cruise ship terminal, allowing porters to take luggage from the room to the ship. Gastown is a 5-minute walk away, and Stanley Park and the Vancouver Aquarium are within a 10-minute walk. Waterfront Station is under a 10-minute walk, and Vancouver International Airport is accessible within 20 minutes via the Canada Line across the street.

ARC Restaurant serves fresh, local, and handcrafted cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, using ingredients from the hotel's rooftop garden. A bar offers wine, champagne, and room service, with kids' meals and special diet menus available on request. The on-site restaurant has received recognition for its focus on local artisan food, including fresh oysters and a standout brunch.

Family rooms are available, and the hotel provides babysitting or child services, plus a kids' meal menu at the restaurant. Pets are allowed: the hotel offers pet bowls and baskets, and the 24-hour front desk and concierge can assist with tours or activities. The outdoor heated pool and complimentary bicycle rentals give families active options without leaving the property.
