'This grand château-style landmark has been Vancouver's crown jewel since 1939, where royalty stays and Hollywood glamour meets Pacific Northwest sophistication.'
What's Special?
Known as the "Castle in the City," this iconic green copper roof has welcomed everyone from Queen Elizabeth II to countless celebrities. The hotel's Notch8 Restaurant & Bar occupies the original bank vault space, complete with the massive original safe door as décor. The property sits directly above Pacific Centre shopping mall with underground access to over 100 shops.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a Fairmont Gold room on floors 14-17 for exclusive lounge access and stunning harbor or mountain views - plus you'll skip the busy main lobby for check-in.
Don't Miss
