“Immaculate & surprisingly quiet”

Vancouver, BC, Canada
18 May 2008

Stayed one night here as I had an early morning flight the next day (the hotel is attached directly to the airport). The room was modern and immaculate. Despite a full view of planes taking off and landing, there was no noise whatsoever. My spouse also had a spa treatment during our stay, and enjoyed it very much. The location of this hotel means that there isn’t much else going on in the area, and it is far from Vancouver’s main tourist attractions, but it suited my purpose perfectly.

Tip: there is a reasonably well-stocked liquor store on the ground level of the domestic terminal, in case one wants to enjoy a glass or two without paying the higher markups a hotel would charge

“Fabulous Hotel”

Stayed at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport for 3 nights, paid about CAD183 on average per night. We got a special rate as a friend works for the Fairmont group. The hotel is linked with the airport which I find really convenient.

The room is of good size with a really nice, big bathroom, separate bath n shower. The beds and pillows are comfortable. We had a twin room n both beds are proper queen size beds opposed to single beds. The air con was a bit noisy and we turned it down, but then the room got really stuffy so we have to turn it up again. Otherwise can't really find any fault with the room.

I had breakfast but wouldn't recommend it as it is quite expensive but the selection really disappointing. I had to leave this jacket at the hotel for my friend to pick up when she returned to Vancouver. This was done but took quite a while to sort out. Otherwise, staff was really friendly and quite helpful.

The hotel is about 10-15 minutes away from Richmond Centre. I stayed one night at the Waterfront Fairmont and found the Vancouver Airport much, much nicer.

“Fantastic Fairmont at the Vancouver Airport”

Fairmont Vancouver Airport

5 of 5 stars
Brisbane, Australia
7 May 2008

We stayed Fairmont Vancouver Airport after a long flight from Australia. Loved the fact that the hotel is actually within the airport...the last thing we wanted to do was find a cab and head out somewhere as we had an early morning transfer from the airport the next day.

We didn't have a booking, but we thought we'd try our luck and just head up to the front desk and enquire about a room for the night. The wonderful concierge was more than happy to go through room options with us and explain all about the hotel. We even got a great discount. The check-in was fast and easy and we were in our room in less than 15 minutes.

We had a large room with a massive floor to ceiling soundproof window, huge marble bathroom with jacuzzi, doulbe vanity, large shower and king size bed. It had everything we needed. And it was quiet.

I can't give a detailed comment on the the hotel facilities as we didn't use any, but from what we saw, it has everything you would want. The health club looked fabulous. Quite impressive as it is a true luxury hotel, but within a busy, noisy airport.

After having a 27 hour flight delay in Amsterdam, we came one day later than our orginal arrival date. They worked out absolutely everthing for us. Although the hotel was full, they booked for our discount rate. Hotel was fully booked, but they gave us a smoking room wich was very clean. I dont smoke but didn't bother me at all. They also arranged our money back from hotels.com (excelent service). The staff asked us what our travel plans were and helped us with a travel plan. Service was Great!

“Fantastic Hotel!”

Fairmont Vancouver Airport

29 Feb 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My family and I stayed at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport as an end to our British Columbia vacation, and the service was fantastic, right from curbside to checkout.

At the time of our vacation, my wife had a broken ankle and we were travelling with two small children (3 yrs old and a 4 month old). We arrived at the hotel and the Bell service was there right away helping to unload the rental vehicle. One of the staff noticed my wife hobbling around on crutches and retrieved a wheel chair from inside. Very nice...they then helped my wife and children into the hotel while I went to return the rental car.

The rooms at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport are a plane spotters wet dream!!! If you are a plane nut like I am, you HAVE to stay here at least once in your life!!!! Every room has a view, and the quality of the soundproofing is remarkable. If you are worried about noise, don't be. They could shoot a million cannon off right outside your room and you won't hear a sound.

The bathroom in our room (Fairmont Room) was unbelievable. Double sink, soaker jetted bathtub, a private water closet and a HUGE shower area. There is a passthrough above the tub so that you can enjoy a nice soak, while watching your favorite TV show, or have a nice conversation with your companion. (or in our case, keep an eye on the kid while she's having a bath!) The bathroom was FANTASTIC!

The service at checkout was just as good as at check-in. The hotel had notified our Airline of my wife's gimpy condition and they had a golf cart waiting to wisk her, our luggage and the 3 year old to the check in counter (the hotel is at gate 249 or something, we were travelling on Westjet, gates 3-20) while I pushed the stroller with the 4 month old, it was a nice touch that in my opinion they didn't have to do.

If you are travelling in or out of Vancouver I would recommend you stay at least one night at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport.
