Fairmont Waterfront Fairmont Waterfront

Even though it's right in the center of downtown, the Fairmont Waterfront's lobby opens out to the scent of clean ocean air and a view of rugged mountains rising dramatically out of the sea.

The natural beauty you can see from almost every room in the Fairmont can make it challenging to stay focused on your business meeting or conference. If you're staying at this luxury waterfront hotel on a leisure trip, then you're in luck, because Gastown's boutiques and Robson Street's big-name retailers are only a few minutes away - as are the majority of Vancouver's top-tier restaurants and nightclubs.

The hotel's intelligent orientation means that 75% of the hotel's 500 guestrooms overlook Coal Harbor and the North Shore Mountains. Rooms facing North West are your best bet if you've never seen a sunset composed of the ocean and snow capped mountains.

Once the sun has dropped into the sea, head down to the Fairmont Waterfront's Health Club, located on the third floor overlooking Stanley Park and the North Shore Mountains, and work up an appetite for dinner.
