Fairmont Vancouver Airport

Huge well-appointed modern room. So easy to access the hotel directly from the terminal - we literally pushed our luggage on a trolley right to the bellman. And we booked the free buggy to take us to our airline checkin desk the next day. The Gold Lounge was good value room option for breakfast and evening drinks. Lunch in the restaurant was great and drinks by the lobby fireplace. A comfortable stopover between flights.

We’ve been loyal Fairmont guests for 20+ years and stay at the YVR location bi-monthly. This particular stay, however, fell short of our usual experience. We had purchased the stay via a charity gala gift certificate (which we paid double the standard rate for, knowing it supported a good cause), but the booking process was unusually complicated. Despite following the instructions from a manager—including emails and a direct confirmation—booking required extra steps and multiple follow-ups. As I was arriving from a conference, my husband planned to check in ahead of me. I called several hours in advance to ensure he was listed on the reservation and would not have any issues checking in. I was assured it would be fine. Unfortunately, he was denied check-in without the physical gift card—even after showing all the confirmation emails and proof the card was already on file. This caused unnecessary stress. When we finally got into the room, it was on a lower floor and facing the tarmac, despite my request for a higher floor and quiet side of the hotel. As Fairmont Gold members, we’re also used to receiving welcome drinks, which we didn’t receive this time. To top it off, our sleep was disrupted by airport noise—and a 5AM fire alarm due to another guest smoking in their room. We appreciate the Fairmont brand and will likely return, but this experience did not meet the standard we’ve come to expect. Hoping future stays feel more like the Fairmont we know and love.

Thank you to Natalie Ho and Johanna for a second fantastic recent staycation! This Fairmont location is really nice if you live in the area and looking for a nice quiet place to relax, look at the runway, walk around the airport and enjoy their restaurant and amenities. Johanna took notes of our last room request and made sure our second stay was just as nice! Natalie Ho checked us in and made our second staycation even more fun than the first one! She really took care of us! Thank you Natalie! Our baby really enjoyed his stay even though he wasn’t feeling well. Natalie we will definitely visit again because of you! :)

Was coming in late and this seemed like both a convenient and nice place to stay. That said, while the lobby itself was nice, one of my first impressions was the receptionist asking if I’d be okay taking a slightly different type of room without a bath or a double queen—neither of which I wanted or had booked. So felt like a mixed bag. For instance, obviously super convenient, but *there was hair on the sheets,* so ended up waiting for someone to change them. And then the bed itself was very comfortable. Similarly, I had a view of the planes, which was cool, but the rooms are also quite dated. And beyond the initial reception interaction, housekeeping knocked very quickly in the morning and then went to enter while I was still getting ready. Beyond them coming in so quickly, I’m confused why they came in at all since I’m only staying one night. So I might stay here again potentially if I really wanted the convenience, but I’d be hard pressed to recommend this as a hotel in and of itself, especially for the price.

Upon my arrival, I would have appreciated a more proactive greeting rather than having to initiate contact for assistance. A comprehensive overview of the available services and amenities would have been beneficial, as I was unfamiliar with the offerings. This would include details such as wake-up call procedures, flight assistance options, and information regarding expedited passes or baggage handling. We encountered an issue at the gate, only to discover that a necessary request should have been made at checkout, which was not communicated to us in a timely manner. Consequently, the lack of pre-flight preparation and assistance led to a rushed departure, preventing us from utilizing available services such as a quick refreshment. I found the staff to be somewhat disengaged and inaccessible, and the overall quality of the experience was unsatisfactory. I also require clarification regarding my final bill and will need to contact your team to review the charges and their justification.

Wow. Honestly this hotel far exceeded my expectations. I expected to be nice because of the price and the reviews but it actually was much nicer than I imagined. It is actually the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. I had a double Queen room on the 10th floor and the bathroom is so interesting as there is a double French window that opens up into the rest of the room above the bathtub. A big comfortable bathtub -like really comfortable. Huge bathroom . Toilet has it's own closet. Veriuto coffee machine. Stacked mini if u want it. Beautiful entrance to hotel, classic mixed with nature vibe. Beautiful decor, fast check in . You cannot hear a single thing that's going on outside, in the hallway yes. The bed however was literally the most amazing bed I've ever slept in I wish I knew what setup they had because I have chronic back pain and my back did not hurt at all while I was sleeping which literally never happens even at home with my own mattress. I only stayed overnight after 10:00 p.m. and checked out very early I wish I was here for like 3 days 😂. Ridiculously clean also like even the corner base boards were spotless. Le labo soaps in the bathroom. Gentle not harsh or over chemical smell.. love love love

We recently stayed just one night at the Fairmont Airport Vancouver to make our final travel day home as easy as possible. We all agreed that staying at this Hotel was a fantastic experience. It is extremely convenient for airport travel, very accessible, has very nice rooms and comfortable beds, and any other amenities. We had one employee during our 24 hour stay that really went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of. Imtiyaz Khan, who worked in the restaurant, did an excellent job taking care of us. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.

The customer service at this hotel has always been exceptional. I recently faced a challenging situation with a shipping issue and Ms. Alecza Juatco from Central (Guest) Services went above and beyond to help me. She was attentive, empathetic, and proactive in finding a solution. Alecza made my concern a priority, kept me updated and resolved the issue efficiently. Her professionalism and care truly reflect the high standards of this 5-star hotel. I'll definitely be returning — the level of service here is absolutely worth it. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Please if you get a chance, stay at this location. It is amazing. Thank you Fairmont Airport!

The price for this one comes with the absolute convenience of being able to crash out after a long vacation and only have to minimally think before your flight the next day. The bar/restaurant downstairs was the perfect way to end a vacation, followed by crisp modern rooms with shutters to the bathtub and bathroom and various lighting, creating relaxing vibes. I slept great and didn't even hear my dad leave for his flight the next morning. We were able to drop our fish off at the fish valet, head up to check in to our rooms, grab dinner, and then catch up on a week's worth of lost sleep in adventure. I wouldn't mind using Fairmont for a pre-vacation stay either.

This was the cherry on top that closed our vacation. 5 star all the way around. As I sit writing this review, I wish I could take a picture or video of the 14th floor hospitality lounge. There is alcohol and wine choices. You pay for them and the card reads Honors Choices. You can pour your own and write your room number on a card so you can be charged. There is a reason why it's called honors because it's on an honor system. It's supposed to be a 9 oz pour, but it's funny to see people not know what that is. Now, I'll get off my Karen soapbox and tell you about this hotel. Expensive, but best place to come if you want to make sure you will make your flight. Beautiful rooms overlooking the airport. The Domestic Airline Terminal is on the ground level.

I went there for high tea today I took 2 friends with me and I used a groupon... Without the Groupon this would have been an absolute rip-off Here is what I liked They paid for the parking it would have been over $50 2 hours Each person had a huge pot of tea Those are the things I enjoyed Their high tea was nice but not exceptional at $85 a person I think that you should be having white tablecloths and the waiter should come back a couple of times to ask if everything ISO K maybe ask if we should get some more water for tea ask if we'd like maybe something else to drink There really wasn't much for service I did still leave a very good tip but I don't really think that I needed to... Because there was almost no service I took 2 people there were to impress them and I think they were very impressed which made me feel very good and I know that they enjoyed themselves but for my dollar I don't think it was good value I asked for the fourth portion to be to take home... And this was so disappointing I was blown away I think they should give you the tea... Considering they call it high tea.... There's no tea with the takeout service it was thrown into cardboard containers no garnish it looked terrible When I opened it up and got it home I was very disappointed Would I go back there no I really enjoyed the fact that I used to coupon that was on Groupon... I understand everything is expensive at the airport but this was stupid... Also I thought that using a groupon would include all of the taxes and the end they still gave me a bill for the taxes This is a once in a lifetime thing to do Take my advice and go to groupon and use it I called and asked the hostess to be discreet and she must dimension the group on 3 or 4 times... While my guests were there with me... Not cool I feel that I should call them tomorrow and ask them why didn't you give me any tea The items in the box look like I would have paid 20 bucks for the whole thing

I love the Fairmont Vancouver Airport, if the price was better I'd stay here for all my travels, but alas it is so overpriced and so I use it only when traveling with work. That said, the benefits do make me see why it is so worth it for others. It's literally inside the airport, right next to international flights if you're taking off early like I usually do. The rooms are quiet, spacious, and gorgeous. The tub has been a lifesaver for me after overnight travel several times. There's also a nice little fitness center with a pool and sauna, as well as access to the Globe restaurant that I love. I've always found the staff to be attentive and kind, going over the top to find a way to make your visit a quality one. For me though, it's all about the beds. They're comfy as all get out.

This was my first time staying at a Fairmont. I tempered expectations since it's an airport location but was still impressed. I'd rate 4.5 if I could but have rounded up. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The room was clean and surprisingly quiet for being at the airport. The bed may be the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept on. The restaurant/bar area was nice, good service and great food. I highly recommend the ahi poke bowl and for breakfast, the smoked salmon omelette. Visiting in December the place was decorated nicely and had a setup for Santa visits in the lobby. A couple minor things that keep this from a true 5 star review was the shower. It would be hot and then all the sudden get lukewarm before eventually returning to hot, plus the water pressure was somewhat lacking. Also, if you self-park ($50/nt) which is very convenient from level P3 in the garage, it's a hassle to get out of the garage since you pay the hotel and must ring a speaker buzzer and answer a dozen questions. I'd absolutely stay here again.

Had a flight cancellation and decided to stay at the hotel attached to the airport, and WOW I was impressed. My view was of the airplanes and boarding gates, and yet I didn't hear any noise from the airplanes, I was genuinely impressed with how well I slept. Room was spacious and everything was so nice and comfy.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel with spacious and clean rooms. So convenient for travellers. The spa was divine and the food at the bar was delicious.

This is rare type of airport hotel. It is inside the airport, so no shuttle needed. Moreover, it is really soundproof! Believe it or not, but I am a light and sensitive sleeper, but didn't wake up at all due to planes and airport noise. Convenient for departures/arrivals flights and longer layovers. Plus it is Fairmont, so quality and luxury details abound. Competent and friendly service, well appointed rooms. No complaints, the cost was slightly high, but not unreasonable.

We enjoyed the service and facility of this nice hotel at the airport. Departure was literally one floor above! The bedding was very comfortable. The service was exceptional - I requested additional nespresso capsules and a couple of women's pad, they were so nice promptly delivering what you need. There's also a wheelchair service in case you want help in moving within the hotel. You can't take it outside the hotel though. There's a self push one at the airport. Definitely worth to visit again! Room service breakfast was also really delicious.

Amazing. Maybe we got lucky, but the cost for our night here wasn't much more than every other hotel around. With a 7:00 am flight, it was worth every penny to sleep in the airport, and not have to worry about dropping off our car the next morning either. The hotel was beautiful, the room was gorgeous, and the beds were fantastic. I don't think I heard a single airplane either. Highly recommend.

Stayed one night at Fairmont Airport hotel since have an early morning flight to US. Fairmont is right next to US departure check in so perfect location. Uber can stop right don't then go up one floor up to hotel check in desk. Easy check in offer cad$50 for early check in. Room decent size. Big window facing gates can see planes take off or land with minimal noise level even at night. Usual good hotel amenities. Restaurant / bar at lobby level nice to enjoy without the need to go out of airport.

We love the gold lounge at the vancouver airport & ordering the afternoon tea ready for arrival served in our room! The Christmas tea set is especially lovely. It's strange but the Fairmont Victoria does not allow the afternoon tea served in room... so I'm grateful Fairmont yvr does!

Great experience. Great room, great staff. It isn't cheap but you get what you pay for. Ate 2 meals at the restaurant. $88 with tip for a full, delicious breakfast for 2. I loved my salmon omelette. My wife loved her granola bowl. Outstanding waiter. waiter. If you're looking for a cheaper option there are places to eat in the attached airport.

So nice to be able to walk to your hotel after a big day of traveling. The bar was hopping as people wanted to relax. We upgraded to the 14th Floor and enjoyed EXTREMELY good appetizers and breakfast.

We loved our stay at the Fairmont airport! We stayed one night in between a long travel day and our cruise embarkation. The room was clean and spacious - a much more elevated stay than a typical airport hotel! Hotel staff were quick to answer our questions at check in and helped direct us on the best way to get downtown the next morning. The only complaint we had is that the hotel is located across the airport from baggage claim - we had to walk through the airline checkin desk lines to get to our hotel. I'd love to stay here again and explore the hotel's dining options!

Excellent hotel inside the airport terminal. Arrived late and received a speedy check and off to the room. Beautiful rooms. Spent check the bar or restaurant by hope to next time.

I stay here every year around Christmas. Excellent hotel, great gym, love the gluten-free pancakes for breakfast, and the staff is very helpful, especially Carl, who helped me get to my gate when I was traveling alone one year!

I paid for an "upgrade" to get a "guaranteed 10:00 am" check in but the rooms weren't available until after 12. And their excuse was that it happens all the time! Whenever the hotel is sold out the night before they can get rooms turn around fast enough! I came on a weekend that I'm sure they knew would sell out the night before and they simply shouldn't have sold any "guaranteed" 10 am rooms! Or they should have promptly offered a refund for the extra I paid. We have a 6:15 am flight so we wanted to be in the room early the day before, relax, then do some sight seeing. By the time our room was finally ready we had left for sightseeing and got back at 3:00 -- normal check in time. Don't get scammed with the "guaranteed early check in!"

A once excellent restaurant has ... how to put it ... declined. The four of us who had dinner are experienced cooks, caterers, and lovers of good food. We'd eaten there several times before and things were quite wonderful. I don't know what's happened but this meal was a 3/4 mess that ranged from tolerable to awful. The cauliflower steak was inedible. And, indeed, we sent it back. I've cooked variations on this dish many times and clearly whoever was doing the prep in the kitchen had no clue (they removed it from the bill). The steak was, in the words of the chap who ordered it, "steak." At the prices charged it should be able to rise above that. My mussels were ... boring. Why fly them from PEI when the Western waters are bountiful is a mystery. And why is chorizo in this dish? I did like the fennel though. The insightful fourth diner who had the steelhead was quite happy with her choice. Management needs to pay attention. Hire an executive chef who can whip this place back to where it once was.

We flew into Vancouver and stayed here for one night before we boarded a cruise ship. We chose this hotel because it is actually located IN the airport, so it was convenient for us to meet the representative from the cruise line the next day for transport to the ship. I want to specifically commend two employees. KUNAL at the front desk was exceedingly polite and helpful in terms of: (a) sending our luggage to our room; (b) walking us to the restaurant; (c) explaining the room charges in detail; and (d) making notes on our account to ensure our son and daughter-in-law were not asked for their credit card upon their much later arrival (I paid for their room, as well as our own room, when we checked in). The next morning, our party of five, which included my other son (in a wheelchair), plus another couple with whom we were not acquainted, got stuck in one of the elevators. It just stopped on the seventh floor while we were on our way down to breakfast. We used the emergency telephone to call for help. None of us panicked - indeed, I'd been stuck in an elevator several decades ago and just sat on the floor and read a book until help arrived 30 minutes later (although the husband of the other couple was getting a little jittery). VICTORIA CALLEJAS RAYMOND told us help was on the way, but she arrived before the maintenance crew and managed to open the door herself. We were only stuck for five minutes! The only downside was the restaurant. The service was fine, of course, but $42 (Canadian) for a burger and fries was ridiculous. I realize the prices were jacked up because (a) you're at an airport, so you're a captive audience; (b) you're at a high-end hotel; and (c) you're paying for convenience. Still, the food was only mediocre. See photos of menu and food.

I cannot find many faults with this convenient on airport hotel. Clean, quiet and mere steps from the terminal back to the US. Found the bar and restaurant to have both good dining and drinks. Service is very good. Check in is good, but a lot of people can come all at once, just a heads up more than anything ominous.

This is hands down one of my very favorites! It was clean, fun, and my child had a great time in the pools before flying home the next day. We loved our room with the cool view of the airport runway and the plane spotting guide was a really good touch. Only 2 complaints (and only reasons this hotel didn't get 5 stars): 1. We went to the front desk to request a luggage scale and were told they didn't have one when the night before I was explicitly shown that they did. This messed up our ability to pack effectively for our flight and made for a stressful morning. 2. (see photo) like so many other hotels, they failed my vent test - there was a heavy coating of dust above my shower. Additionally I almost stepped on a screw which was on the carpet in our room.

So convenient to have a nice hotel in the airport terminal for those morning flights. Despite its proximity to the planes, the windows were adequately insulated so I wasn't jarred by noise (stayed on the 12th floor). Rooms were nicely sized (409 sq. Ft.) with easy-to-control light switches (labeled in English). Separate tub, shower and toilet areas. Wish I had time to hit the gym... In the dining room, the beef tenderloin, salad and ahi were fresh and delicious. The local whole lobster was not as impressive (but then again I was spoiled with amazing whole lobster in Victoria at the Keg). The cheesecake was nice and fluffy. All staff was courteous. Would stay again.

If your travels dictate an early flight out, this is the place to he. Actually it's just a very pleasant hotel with all the amenities and service one would expect in a higher quality hotel. Get up in the morning and walk right down into the airport.

Hotel is very nice. Rooms are large with a nice view of the international terminal. Location is great if you have a morning flight. Staff is very accommodating, they even brought a mini fridge to my room. Restaurant is pricey but everything in that airport is. Will stay here again for sure.

Love this hotel at YVR. Comfortable rooms, convenient location if you are flying in/out of YVR. Great lounge with good food and drinks, and very friendly staff. Evening live music was a bonus.

Stopped in here for breakfast with the family between connections after a long redeye from Hawaii. 9 AM on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was empty. Server seems absolutely uninterested in serving us but did begrudgingly with a steaming hot rotten attitude towards us. Food took forever and was cold when it finally arrived. If I wanted snotty overpriced service, I would have gone to the food court past security. Had to laugh out loud when the check came and the first tip % option was 18%. Over ride to zero and we're out of here, never to return.

Wait for food was ~20 minutes Jetside burger -thick patty -good amount of everything -crispy bacon -bit dry Roast beef panini -small/not as worth -not much meat Fries were big, potato-y, was a bit bland

As far as airport hotels go. This is probably the nicest one i have ever stayed at. I mean, they lay out alone is definitely super nice. You walk into the room and as you turn right on the sliding doors, you can see the massive bathroom. Separate toilet, separate shower and the bathtub. You can literally soak and look out the window feature and watch your netflix show. The beds are super nice and plush. There's controls for the lighting right at the bedside wall. Which makes it real nice to turn on the bathroom lights right at the bedside. The lobby is pretty ok. The real conversation piece are the rooms. I totally enjoyed staying here. I enjoyed a good soak and that rainfall shower head is super dope. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

We had a nice time at the Fairmont Vancouver. The room could use an update, but the staff was very nice and it is in a great, downtown location. We would stay there again

Wow! What a fantastic hotel. I'm likely to stay here on my next trip to Vancouver. I fly to Vancouver a couple times a year and normally take the 6 am flight back home. This means a 3 am wake up call but not when you stay at the Fairmont. An extra hour sleep is fantastic. Even so, I give this hotel five stars because... - Excellent service - Posh rooms with huge bathes - A really good restaurant and lounge - Nice amenities - Quiet, I did not hear the planes - Beds I can sleep in The front desk was really helpful in making dinner arrangements for us in the city too.

.."Memories" 'Fairmont Vancouver Airport' was our lodging spot prior to several trips my lady and I made south to Mexico over recent years. For us, we loved the convenience -- it was definitely you sure can't get any closer to your flight than this place! And going out there to stay the night before an early morning flight the next day reduced anxiety on the day of travel -- we were there, no taxi to the airport needed, or weather concerns, and such. For us, daughter usually drove us out to the airport and hotel early the day before our flight, giving us almost the full day to relax and enjoy - we always considered and called it 'day one' of our trip. We had the time to do as we wished -- which included several walkabouts of the airport, browsing shops & such, watching others come & go, and spending most of the time to just sit, relax, and watch flights come and go from our room at the hotel. We never dined at the hotel, just caught a fast food dinner at one of the locations in the terminal nearest the hotel, and did the same for breakfast the next morning. Staff at the hotel were always friendly, and very accommodating. Not once did we ever encounter a problem with any aspect of a room reservation we had made, or related matter. We always asked for rooms facing north - i.e., looking towards the north shore mountain - the views were especially pretty during the months when the mountains were bearing snow. Staying at the 'Fairmont Airport' always provided a nice add-on adventure to our trips south. We enjoyed the stays there very much.

Wonderful hotel. Decided to stay here because we had a flight that got in late at night and we didn't feel like making the drive until we had a night's sleep. The staff were wonderful and accommodating, EXCELLENT restaurant and in room dining available late night, we had a beautiful room with nice views of the runways (room was very quiet we didn't hear anything at night), and the hotel kindly made a crib available in our room for the little one. What a great bookend to our trip in Vancouver.

Totally amazing staff and the service is awesome Mentioned upon booking that it was my spouses birthday. And they went above and beyond to make our stay special. Thank you very much Fairmont definitely will be staying with you on our next journey

I would absolutely be a morning person if it started at noon. However, if we're forced to get up at the crack of dawn for a flight we're like the walking dead. That's where this Fairmont comes in, you're literally in the airport. An elevator is all that separates you from airline check-in. We've had several stays here over the past few months, and even though we are Marriott loyalists, being able to sleep more before a flight trumps the rewards points. So here's the breakdown: The room: Ask for a room on the side where the planes take off and land. I'm a sensitive sleeper and I've never heard anything through the glass, the room is sound proof against the noise from plane engines. The bathrooms are also really cool, the wall that separates the bathroom from the bedroom has sliding door window, so you can soak in an Epsom salt bath (provided in each room), sip on wine and watch planes land and take off from your bathtub. It's so relaxing and they even give you a plane watching guide that gives you the specs of each plane that comes through the airport. The rooms are also very spacious and the beds are comfy. In room dining: This is like a car engine that needed to be warmed up. The first dinner we had although while tasty was cold an took forever (over an hour) to get to us. We did complain and after that our experiences with that outlet have just gotten better and better, even with breakfast arriving in 15 minutes the last two times we ordered. Nothing tastes bad on the menu, our favorites are the Rib Eye, Salmon, Crab Cakes, and Vegetarian Eggs Benedict. Fur Babies: They are very pet friendly here. Our fur babies got treats at check-in from the bellmen and everyone that works here loves dogs. Additionally, there is an small walking trail, that has a lot of grass for the your pets to do their business next to the hotel, which you wouldn't think would be there because you are at the airport. The only drawback for us is that we can't leave our well-behaved, house trained fur babies alone in the room. Which is why we prefer Marriott branded hotels because we can. So we're pretty much confined to the room with our doggies, I hope they relax this rule in the future. Fitness Center and Pool: You can people watch while you work out or hangout at the pool. The facility over looks Delta Airlines check-in so its interesting to see of what people are doing down there while you get your workout in. There are a lot of cardio machines and weights so there is never a wait to use anything. Valet/Parking: Who knows of where self parking is here, I would only valet. Getting our car is the only thing that continues to take a long time, and I'm not even sure if this team belongs to the Fairmont. I think they are a outsourced company, but you can wait a while before someone pops up to help you. Service: The employees that work here are super friendly. From the housekeeper down the hall to wait staff walking through the lobby area and room service team, everyone here has been so nice and genuinely focused on us having a good stay. If you are stuck at YVR do not hesitate to book here. Heck, if I had a crazy long layover or a very delayed flight here, I would ask for a day rental. It beats waiting at an airport gate in uncomfortable chairs! #VanCity

The rooms and service are lovely. Just finished dinner in The Globe restaurant, (The Fairmont's main restaurant), and had spectacular oysters from New Foundland. All happy until leaving and walking past a table of men who also had oysters. Theirs were 3x the size of what I was served! Under appetizers the oyster option was 6 or 12. Then there was the seafood tower that had oysters. Granted, the men had the seafood tower, but 3x the difference??? Hmmmm. Our fish, (halibut and salmon), was over cooked too.

Came here with a couple of good friends with the purchase of a Groupon for High Tea. We definitely enjoyed the ambiances and the service here. So the high tea came with some good pastries and their famous Fairmont tea. For the price we paid was ok. Not like a wow wow deal. If this was regular price then its too much. We noticed most of the people having high tea here all have Groupon. From the high tea I do like their earl grey devil egg. Interesting flavor. The scones were not bad but not like something special. The curry flavored tuna bun was really awesome. The desserts were ok. Not like something that would make me wow. Very standard, I should put it. The restaurant was not very full. Well this is actually a one time experience here. So will not go on Groupon and buy another one.

I love this hotel. Staff is always super friendly and the beds are extra comfortable. I love the giant bathtubs and spacious rooms... I always make sure to give myself extra time for a long, luxurious bath! Super convenient to the Vancouver Airport - you don't even have to go outside... Also very nice restaurant with live music at dinner and super awesome breakfast buffet. Perfect for arriving late or leaving early! Highly recommend!

Absolutely the best Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes ever!!! Service was stellar, as well!

Located in the Vancouver Airport, very easy and accommodating. This hotel has all you need and more for an overnight stay. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The beds are soft and the noise level is very minimal. We stayed overnight and checked out early for our flight to Calgary. The amenities are great--and they gave enough for more than the four of us needed. There is a wide selection of snacks and alcohol in their mini bar. If you need to stay somewhere overnight for your connecting flight, I recommend that you stay here. Enjoy!

I came for afternoon tea. Pros: service was great, very attentive and friendly. Great view of the planes coming and going with the mountains in the background. Good choice of teas. Cons: genuinely horrible food. This is not a traditional afternoon tea, and I get that, but what they served today was terrible. They served a mashed potato sandwich. I really thought I had misheard, but no, potato between a slimy tortilla like bread of beets and yam. Beet infused devilled eggs . The smallest scones ever and the weird maple syrup one was not very nice. Small desserts were just ok, but the pumpkin mousse tasted like baby food. Generous portions of clotted cream and jam, but neither are of the highest quality.

I've stayed in this hotel for only one reason...convenience being situated right on the airport and their Rose scented toiletries. The bed is comfortable just as much as the Hilton and Marriott. They have a fully equip gym and a restaurant. The hotel is also right on the departure/ticketing area that is also surrounded with food vendors and Starbucks. Despite of the outstanding room that they offer, I am giving it a 3 out of 5 star because of the rudeness of their employees. They had been that way since the day I've been coming here. They would not greet you when you check in and won't even do as simple as eye contact. Like they're better than you. I find this very rude and disrespectful. Every time you would ask a question, they would answer very short and unfriendly. The funny part was I thought I was the only one that actually noticed the attitude, but my co-worker that checked in with me said it first, "was it just me or that guy was very rude and short"? She was right, I've noticed that since Day 1. I have-not made a review on this hotel, but today, I made a point to sit and take my MacAir and write this review because it needs to change. This is not great customer service. If I just didn't have any early flight, I wouldn't stay here. I might just find another hotel close by because I don't think I'll be staying here again.I'd rather stay in a smaller hotel that has great customer service than stay in a 5 star hotel that belittles you. Not recommending this hotel.

We had missed our flight back to the SF Bay Area, and I didn't feel like getting a hotel that was located outside of the airport. The Fairmont Hotel seemed like a great solution since we had a 6:00am flight departing Vancouver the next morning. All we would need to do the day of our flight was just take the elevator and escalator down to the departure area and walk to the E Gates, and it would be as simple as that. We would not have to worry about getting up extra early for our flight and worrying about transportation back to the airport for our flight. That is why I was willing to pay a little bit more money for the convenience of staying at a real airport hotel. I can honestly say that this hotel was disappointment to my fiancé and I. Aside from being conveniently located at the Vancouver Airport, we just didn't find our hotel room to be that spectacular. The bathroom was nice, but the room was a bit dated. I also have a lot of electronic gadgets, and we found that our hotel room did not have enough electrical and/or usb outlets. I might stay here again because of the convenience of the location inside the airport, but I would definitely consider other options unless they upgrade their rooms.

Headed to Whistler and decided to stay here the night then in the morning I get a ride to Whistler, then do the same thing returning home. This place is beautiful, classy and pleasant. The staff is pleasant and friendly. Super clean place. Will definitely stay here again when I come to Vancouver.

Due to yet another cancelled flight in Vancouver, this left me on the hunt for a place to stay for the evening ... Unfortunately the hotel was completely booked (except for the $1200/n suite, which is a little out of my budget) BUT the reason I wanted to leave a review was for the concierge MARCO. He helped lighten my sad spirit as well as offered me water to drink while I figured out what do next. His warmth helped me made the best of a bad situation and I'm thankful for kindness and support. Merci Marco

I flew Air Canada and had a long layover in the Vancouver airport. No lounges that accepted priority pass, except international which I couldn't access. No place to charge my phone except a crowded kiosk where I'd have to stand and watch my phone charge. Found an empty gate where I found an outlet and seat, and watched 2 little mice run around nearby. No in-airport hotel or place to relax on a long layover. I expected better. Disgusted and disappointed.

Imagine walking three minutes to check in for your flight after getting out of bed. Four or five stars.... really doesn't matter, if you're flying out of Vancouver International... there is no other airport hotel better than the Fairmont. Located inside the terminal, the Fairmont offers luxury and accessibility. There are some downsides.... front desk staff were stone faced and didn't crack a smile (they may need to take a Marriott employee course)... the rooms could use a refresh, but the common areas are beautiful. Bathrooms and tubs are big and really the focal point of the rooms. The high points are the restaurant and bar, which offer expanding views of the airport and tarmac. While I visited, the restaurant and bar were packed... they had live music... a big roaring fireplace and the bartender couldn't have been nicer (Perhaps he should school the front desk staff?). Food was amazing.... If you want to skip the hassle of an airport shuttle or rushing to the airport in the morning, the Fairmont might be a good choice.

This is a really nice hotel, and super convenient for meetings at the Vancouver airport. It's located in the International Departures section of the airport, so a bit of a walk from Domestic Arrivals. Still, it's so much easier than taking a train downtown. The hotel is luxurious but modern, unlike most Fairmonts in Canada. It's clearly a new hotel. Check-in was friendly and helpful. The rooms are great, and most seem to overlook the airplane taxiway and gates, which is cool. Despite this, they somehow managed to make very quiet rooms (great soundproofing). I also really enjoyed my time in the bar and restaurant. The food and drinks were great, although expensive. The fitness centre was also good, with plenty of equipment (cardio and weights), a pool and a sauna. I would come back!!

Convenient, modern, friendly, did I mention convenient? The staff is unbelievably helpful, live music in the bar, decent to good food, great atmosphere. if you are traveling this is the place to stay and eat, no better option in my opinion.
