Fairmont Waterfront - a natural perspective on business & pleasure

Stunning harbour, Stanley Park and North Shore mountain views, warm welcoming service, and a convenient location for both business and leisure travelers, make the Fairmont Waterfront the perfect fit while visiting Vancouver. Enjoy a peaceful nights rest in one of our luxurious harbour and mountain view guestrooms, host a meeting or event in our spacious conference rooms, dine in Herons Restaurant offering the freshest regional and seasonal cuisine, or relax in the sunshine on the pool patio of the Health Club while taking in the views. Just a few of the reasons why the Condé Nast Readers Choice Awards have voted the Fairmont Waterfront the #4 hotel in Canada for 2009, and the top hotel in Vancouver!

The hotel boasts a spectacular location across the street from the newly expanded Vancouver Convention Centre and Canada Place Cruise Ship Terminal, and within walking distance to the central business district, Gastown, Robson Street, Pacific Center shopping mall, and the Vancouver Art Gallery. Explore the seawall to Stanley Park, a 1000 acre park in the center of the city and larger than New York City’s Central Park. Surrounded on 3 sides by the Pacific Ocean, and within easy walking or cycling distance to the hotel, the park houses the Vancouver Aquarium, horse drawn carriage rides, park tours, beaches, restaurants, old growth forest and unobstructed views of the harbour, mountains and Lions Gate Bridge.
