This property was perfect for our early arrival for a cruise that departed across the street. It's a lovely environment, clean and safe. The staff was excellent. We used the bikes and had a delightful ride around the city and took the bus across the way to other tour locations, all at no charge! There are a several great food spots near by for all tastes and price ranges. We also loved have a Rite Aide to stock up on a few things we couldn't carry on as well as snacks. Also there is a food court and shopping right there too. Made everything super ease and we'd definately come back.

We enjoyed our stay at waterfront. The check in was terrific. We arrived very early from the VIA Canadian train trip from Toronto, and were text our room number within an hour, and could relax! Lovely room…amazing view! My only disappointment was a housekeeping supervisor with a clip board banging on our door at 7:15am on our day of check out. When I asked her why she was at our banging at our door so early, she refused to come back and explain and ran off down the hall laughing!?! It was an incredible rude awakening after a wonderful three days with you, such a shame.

Thanks Vancouver!

Lovely stay as always. Staff was wonderful especially when our room sprung a leak and they moved us to an equivalent room. The rooms have taken a beating given the volume of turnover during Alaska cruise season. They could use a bit of a makeover, though we will come back again and again.

It is always a treat to stay at the Fairmont Waterfront. It is my GO-TO hotel in Vancouver. The location is spectacular, and it is a very comfortable hotel with very friendly, yet professional staff. This said, the elevators can be a problem in peak periods and the goodies in the room are grossly overpriced. If this is your choice of hotel, be prepared to spend money.
