"One of the most modern, most stylish, and most luxurious of the Fairmont properties is the Pacific Rim, set on Vancouver’s waterfront, offering extraordinary views of the city skyline, Stanley Park, the Burrard Inlet, and the North Shore mountains. The modern architecture is adorned with plentiful contemporary art, and while the rooms and suites are a touch traditional (in typical Fairmont style) they’re full of high-end comforts, from Stearns & Foster beds to lavish, spa-like marble bathrooms. Along with a vast spa and fitness center it’s got a handful of highly regarded restaurants and bars, including the city’s first fully sustainable sushi bar." - Kevin Chau
