A Visionary Urban Oasis

Built in 1995, our expansive rooftop garden was the first green roof in Vancouver, a visionary initiative for the time. Today, it thrives with organic herbs, vegetables, and an apiary, reflecting our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

Fit for a Queen

In 2002, Fairmont Waterfront proudly hosted Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during her Golden Jubilee visit to Vancouver. A special moment came when the Queen graciously took the time to pat Morgan, our beloved hotel dog, adding warmth to this historic occasion.

Pioneers of Rooftop Bees & Urban Green

Established in 2008, Fairmont Waterfront’s rooftop apiary was the first of its kind at a hotel, housing honey bees and supporting indigenous pollinators. This sustainable initiative continues to thrive, producing honey used in our dishes and fostering biodiversity.

Proudly Embracing the Olympic Spirit

We were thrilled to be a host hotel for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, sharing in the excitement and spirit of the games. Welcoming athletes and guests from around the world was an honor, making it a truly unforgettable and joyous time for Fairmont Waterfront.
