Fairmont Waterfront occupies 900 Canada Place in Coal Harbour, Vancouver, British Columbia, next to the Canada Place convention and cruise complex and across the road from Waterfront Station, where SkyTrain, SeaBus and commuter rail meet. Gastown, the Vancouver Convention Centre and the downtown core are all within a short walk, and the Stanley Park seawall can be reached along the harbour promenade. The hotel dates from the early 1990s and is a full-service waterfront tower, known for harbour and North Shore mountain views and for a rooftop garden used by the kitchen. Rooms are offered as deluxe rooms, Fairmont Gold rooms with lounge privileges, and suites. Dining is provided by on-site restaurants and a bar, with room service available. An outdoor pool and fitness centre cover leisure needs, while the concierge desk handles tours, seaplane transfers and cruise-related enquiries. The service style is traditional Fairmont: business-oriented with meeting facilities, yet comfortable for families and for cruise passengers who often stay the night before or after sailing. Valet parking is available for those arriving by car, though the surrounding streets are congested at peak times. Typical rates sit between CAD $380 and $600 per night, rising in the summer cruise season and during major events. The property suits visitors who want a central, transit-connected base without moving far from the water. From the hotel, the Vancouver Lookout, the Gastown steam clock, Robson Street shopping and the False Creek ferries are all reachable on foot or by a brief transit ride, making it practical for short city stays as well as longer visits to British Columbia.
