Fairmont Pacific Rim

Fairmont Pacific Rim stands at 1038 Canada Place in Vancouver's Coal Harbour district, British Columbia, directly beside the Vancouver Convention Centre, the Canada Place cruise terminal and the harbour seaplane base. The Waterfront SkyTrain and SeaBus station is a short walk away, the Gastown and downtown shopping districts are within roughly fifteen minutes on foot, and the Stanley Park seawall begins a little further along the shoreline. The hotel is a modern glass tower from the period leading up to the 2010 Winter Olympics, and its design leans on the Pacific Rim theme in its public spaces, with views over the harbour and the North Shore mountains. Accommodation runs from deluxe rooms through to suites, and the Fairmont Gold floor adds a private lounge with its own check-in and food and drink service. Dining centres on in-house restaurants and a bar, and room service is available around the clock for in-room meals. Wellness facilities include the Willow Stream Spa, a fitness centre and an outdoor pool, giving the property one of the more complete spa offerings among Vancouver's downtown hotels. Service is concierge-led and aimed at leisure travellers, cruise passengers joining or leaving ships at Canada Place, and business visitors attending events at the convention centre. Valet parking is offered for guests arriving by car. Typical nightly rates fall between CAD $600 and $900, varying with season and demand, and summer cruise season and major conventions are the most expensive periods. The location makes the hotel practical for travellers boarding Alaska-bound cruises, since the terminal is a few minutes away, while the walkable waterfront gives easy access to the Vancouver Lookout, Gastown steam clock and the Coal Harbour promenade.
