We spent four nights at the Renaissance on a recent vacation in Vancouver. Overall, we had a good experience at the hotel, but could not quite get past some of the hotel's quirks. We ended up in a harbour view room. This after an intervention by a very helpful bellman, who asked my wife how our stay was shortly after... more

Me and my partner stayed there one night after getting off an Alaska Cruise. It's very close to Canada Place where ships disembark, so we just walked about 5 minutes. The outside of the hotel looks discouraging, but once you go in you see that the hotel is very nice indeed. The rooms were very spacious and had a beautiful... more

Dont' get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with this hotel, just a bit overpriced I guess due to it's location. In March 2009 they were going through some renovations in the lobby area, but the rooms were all done. it was pretty nice and spacious and have a 42" LCD TV in the room. I think this hotel is rated... more

We stayed here three days midweek in mid May. As noted elsewhere the lobby and bar areas were under construction (not that we saw anything being done). The reg. desk was a tight fit for three employees but usually only two were there: long, long lines almost always for service. Given the lobby was large (think high school basketball court... more

This is a beautiful hotel to stay at with wonderful rooms especially facing the harbour. Very nice beds with high quality linens and duvets. The restaurants are not great, but with so many great choics in the area, it doesn't matter. Nice lounge. Great staff. more

Spent a get-away weekend in Vancouver...as usual on weekend trips, we chose our hotel via Priceline, and once again had good luck. 3 1/2* and $65 got us the Renaisance Vancouver Harbourside. The Ren is an absolutely standard downtown business traveler hotel. Room was small but comfortable, very clean, quiet, and acceptible in every way. Not much character, but who... more

Although this hotel has a great central location, there were several drawbacks including very small rooms (especially the bathrooms) and construction in the lobby. The rooms appeared to be recently renovated but we found it to be very tight for two people. The bathroom fixtures were fine but nothing special. We did have a nice view of the water however.... more

This is 2nd time we stayed at this hotel, liked the perfect view of snow tipped mountain further out, and the Vancouver harbour close by, as well as high rises of downtown. Close to shopping, restaurants and clubs nearby. The hotel staffs are very friendly and knowledgeable about local events. Got upgraded both times (first time I was still platinum... more

The Harbourside succeeds in comfort and service. Our visit lasted for 5 days so I believe we got a good feel for the place and surrounding area. From Joseph in the restaurant to the wonderful woman at the concierge desk the people that work at this hotel are warm and friendly. Our room was clean on arrival and well cared... more
