This globtrotter's oasis is mere seconds from check-in. Cross a fairylit walkway to a sound-proof slice of traveler's heaven and recharge among sleek charcoal-hued slate and glass, and you'll barely lift a weary finger to control all the mod cons from one bedside panel. Watch your flat-screen from the tub, or train your in-room telescope on the airfield's comings and goings with nary a whisper... more
Location is excellent when travelling early the next day. We requested a king bed instead of two queen which the front desk could not provide but they were more interested in trying to sell us an exec room with additional perks than to check us in quickly when it was already late at night and all we wanted to do was get to the room to sleep.
Not only is this hotel ideally located for early morning flights, but it is state of the art in terms of amenities; pool, spa, restaurant and if you are traveling with kids (or not), it is a treat. The rooms are spacious and because everything is automated (tv and lights), the kids had a blast. The oversized tub was also ideal as you could easily bath 2 at a time! Not to mention that you can... more
Highly recommended for a quick stay in Vancouver. Very comfortable & clean hotel. Was easy access to/from flights in & out of Vancouver and also easy access to city via sky train. Service was very pleasant and hotel room was quiet.
Yes we highly recommend the Fairmont Vancouver Airport. Very impressed with location, lobby and room. Excellent value and all expectations were met if not exceeded.
I have stayed at the hotel several times when traveling through the Vancouver airport and always found it convenient and comfortable with a pleasant and helpful staff.
For anyone who has an early morning flight departure or late arrival this is a brilliantly available hotel to stay. Not the cheapest-maybe there are specials available- but the convenience outweighs travelingto or from the city at unsuitable times
Very convenient. Had early am flight. Stress free. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is luxurious. We wanted dinner in the hotel. Unfortunately no vegetarian selections were available. Over all, our overnight stay was pleasant. Thanks.
Conveniently located at the airport and outstanding staff!! Well worth the price for the level of quality.
翌朝6時発の国際線だったので、迷わず予約しました。 客室から空港の夜景も堪能できて、短い時間でしたが、 割高には思いませんでした。
Conveniently located at the Vancouver hotel for early morning flights or overnighting for a connecting flight. Beautiful hotel with all the amenities and the most comfortable beds and pillows I have ever experienced. Hotel is very pricey, however.
Comfort and relax... Very good view on sea & mountain
The per night price is up there but for one night it is well worth it when you consider the convenience. My husband and I had an early am flight out from Vancouver to Houston. We dropped off our luggage with the bellhop. Then we dropped off our car at the rental place (also at the airport) and walked back to the hotel, which is right there at the airport. It was a very comfortable room. The bed... more
Hot tub was wonderful; room on 12th and bell hop excellent,friendly and most accommodating... Young Philippino with much charm and empathy.. A real gem! Stayed in 1219
This is a premium hotel with excellent customer service, well-appointed rooms with attention to details above what most hotels offer.
From checkin to checkout the Fairmont offered outstanding service. If you have an early morning flight, it is the "go to" property for convenience and service.
Just had a stopover before an early morning flight. Great location, beautiful hotel. It's an airport hotel so it's not super cheap, but it's worth the price. Room service was excellent, but airport hotel prices. Great soap!
we stayed with this hotel because of its location which met our needs nice hotel close to the airport
Was seeking a quality overnight location nearby to the airport and local rapid transit. Got it.
Was just what our family needed before ou flight to Scotland in the morning. Bell hop helped get our luggage to check in.
The hotel staffs always greet us during our stay. When we had problem with our room key, the room service lady nearby opened the room for us and gave us complimentary bottle water for the inconvenience.
フロント係、ベルキャプテン、ルームサービスいずれも応対が的確で親切で感じが良い。室内は清潔でリネン類は乾燥具合が気持ち良い。
Worth every dollar but you need to pay parking separately The one right beside hotel is $28.5/24 hrs
Excellent location in YVR. Room very nice BUT terrible super soft mattress that did not enable a good sleep for the two of us. Bar chairs also most uncomfortable - actually driving people to go elsewhere. Restaurant was very good - also good wine list.
2 night stay on business, staff was amazing amenities were great. Great experience overall will be staying again
Everything awesome except the matresses are in need of replacing.
Great rooms, staff, facilities and food. Front desk staff were exceptional, check in and out was fast and efficient. Wonderful waitress in the Jetside Lounge. Delicious, if pricey, food.
early morning flight..stay at this hotel and avoid the panic...catching flight is easy as pie. nice hotel, restaurant, staff are fantastic. Rooms are in small size, our room smelled.....like a wet dog.
Great place to stay! good service. I just hope they had bigger rooms.
Only glitch was coffee pot didn't work even though the maid assured me it did. For a coffee addict who had to make a 6 a.m. Plane, this was a disappointment. Concierge comped a minibar snack in exchange and that was nice, but I still missed my coffee!
It is good not to take a shuttle to go to the airport.
It's pretty galling to charge $300 a night and then insist on $12 for internet. Oh and get rid of the old high speed connection. Bush league and outdated for a high-end hotel.
We are really impressed by the service this hotel provided. Definitely will stay at this hotel again.
We had a very early morning departure home the following morning, so being in the airport was so nice. We opted for a Fairmont Gold upgrade at check-in, so our accommodations were super deluxe. I can imagine the regular rooms were pretty nice too. Excellent service.
Not the best location if traveling with kids. The cost of leaving YVR for downtown is much more expensive via sky train due to tariffs( $26 for two adults one child one way) so we purchased train tickets downtown.
Excelente, cada vez que viajo me quedo en el Fairmont por comodidad.
All of the staff are friendly and the rooms and views are amazing
Coming in late, this was a perfect first night's stay in Vancouver. Price worth the convenience, though I don't think worth it if outside the hotel. Decent food in lounge as well as a nice breakfast (ordered off menu as the buffet price wasn't worth it for us.)
We weren't flying anywhere, but there were no other rooms to be had in the city. I had accidentally pre-booked the room with one king size bed instead of two queen but we had two kids with us. They worked very hard to make sure we kept our luck serious room and also had a cot for our daughter to sleep in. That cot was better than her bed at home! The room service was excellent and the pool was... more
We got to the hotel around 12:30 am and the staff were super helpful, even upgraded me and my new wife to a bigger room. Wonderful stay, loved it all
Beautiful room and very quiet which was appreciated after along flight. We only stayed one night as we were leaving early in the morning as this was a better option than going back into Vancouver for the night.
This is a luxury hotel, conveniently located right IN the Vancouver International Airport. Very quiet, easy check-in, professional staff. My major criticism was with room service--I found the food very expensive and very disappointing. The beef in the french dip sandwich was literally unchewable, the roast chicken dinner was tasteless and cold. Save your money and pass on the food, but enjoy... more
Excellent hotel. Staff very helpful. Location is great right within airport. Pool is small but kids had fun anyway. Would definitely stay there again.
I ended up paying top dollar through Expedia. Other options were $100 less per night, but I had committed.
We had an awesome dinning experience and the convienence of waking up and walking downstairs to catch the morning flight was well worth the stay.
This was one of the best hotel stays I have ever had. The rooms are large, beds and linens are comfortable and it is very quiet. The hotel breakfast was also excellent. Train stop is right in the airport so access to downtown is excellent. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Vancouver or the area.
Wonderful, welcoming staff. Easy check in. Beautiful room. Had always wanted to stay at Fairmont Vancouver Airport and was not disappointed with my high hopes. It was everything I thought it would be and more.
The room was very nice, the most comfort bed ever, very quiet and I enjoyed the stay very much and thank for kind services of the staffs.
We had an excellent stay - room was perfect, staff went beyond expectation on everything we asked of them and the subway was convenient so we could get around without a car.
Great hotel! We would definitely stay there again. Very clean rooms, maid service was excellent. Concierges were very friendly and helpful throughout our entire stay. Also, would recommend staying on the Gold Floor - worth the extra cost.
Very nice in everything! I will go back again. The room is spacious. Easy check in and out. People are very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the Gold member services. Such a good idea!
The staff at this hotel was unbelievably amazing. If we had questions about directions or the city they were right there with answers and helpful suggestions!
Location location location. I found the bar staff to be awesome and all of the employees to be great. I will stay here again. Good food too!!!!!
Honestly the best thing is staying at the airport. No taxi no train no bus. It is in the same building. You just can't go wrong.
You can't hear a single airplane either....

This hotel is incredibly convenient for those travelling in and out of YVR-- the hotel is directly connected to the airport terminal, with no need to go outdoors at all. The welcome by the {Magritte-ish, bowler-hatted] porter at the airport terminal side is warm and helpful, and the front desk is friendly and efficient. (Signs pointing to the hotel seem... more
The Fairmont Vancouver Airport was recommended to me by a veteran traveler to Asia, who suggested that staying here before and after out and inbound international flights is a great way to soften experiences of jetlag in both directions. I took that advice and have to say, it's absolutely true. The staff are lovely and helpful, and the convenient luxury... more
Had a quick trip to Vancouver and being a fairmont president member and being at the airport decided to book this hotel.
My first visit excellent service all round!!
Check in was late due to my late arrival, check in was smooth, room was impeccable.
Rooms are clean but if you're sharing and want privacy, the shuttered doors are a little inconvenient. We had meetings there so we had everything we needed. Banquet menu for lunch was great, they were very accommodating when we needed something but couldn't get our heat in the room to work so we froze in the meeting room. It is... more
I had stayed at this hotel a few years ago but I think they have done some renovations as I did not remember it this well appointed. This time I had to stop by on my way to fish at Langara Island.
Staff exceptionally helpful including the bell staff who stored my caught salmon and helped unload it from the...
more
We stayed here because it was inside the terminal, handy for our 5 am flight check-in time. There was a mix up in that my husband thought he had reserved, but finding no copy of reservation info we called from our previous hotel - he had forgotten to reserve but thankfully the person at the 800 number was able to... more
We stayed here as a family before taking a connecting flight to Calgary.
We paid to upgrade to the gold floor as we had previously done this at the Fairmont Waterfront and really worth every penny !
Staff on the gold floor were very efficient and helped with our connecting flight conformation swiftly making our stay here so enjoyable for...
more
The Vancouver Airport Fairmont Hotel is exceptional: no outside or inside noise, President's Club check in privilege, coffee service, and staff is second to none for knowledge, courtesy and helpfulness.
I had booked the Limited Time Fairmont Room special for my parents that included a full breakfast and wireless Internet access. When they checked in the other night, the receptionist had the gall to tell my parents that there is no breakfast included, and wi-fi access would cost an extra $14. My mother had to argue with them and bring... more
Having flown from Heathrow with our four children aged 8, 10,12 and 14 we arrived at what was 2.00 in the morning for us. The Fairmont Gold check-in couldn't have been easier and we had adjoining rooms which were spacious and welcoming. In the Fairmont Gold lounge we tucked into some fresh appetizers and a wide section of cold drinks... more
I just stayed for day use at Fairmont Vancouver Airport after the Disney Cruise.
I wasn't sure where is the entrance but taxi dropped us off at the small entrance next to Departure terminal. There was bell boy waiting for us to help with the luggage.
Check in was super smooth and my room was ready as they sent me...
more
By far one of the best airport hotels. Only real problem is the floor in there pool/hot tub area is very slippery and isn't really safe. Nice Bar and restaurant however very over priced even for an airport.
Great place to stay if you arrive late to this airport, very convenient. The staff and rooms are a very good standard, comfy beds and a good breakfast buffet. The hotel entrance is within the airport, so it's a hop, skip and a jump from plane to sleep!
If you get a chance to stay on the Gold floor, do it! A bit more money but so worthwhile. First off there is a separate lounge and food service for the Gold floor. Dinner appy's are offered after 5pm and a very good full breakfast in the mornings. With a North facing view of the mountains and airport this... more
Perfect location for an early morning flight. Rooms are excellent, clean and well maintained. Staff are very nice and on a warm day it was nice to have ice cold infused water available in the lobby. A fantastic experience that I would highly recommend.
We had a late arrival and stayed at Fairmont in the Vancouver Airport. It was very convenient and comfortable. The price was expensive. We paid for the convenience of being so close to our arrival gate in the airport. Noise was not a problem even though we were at a busy airport. Would consider staying there again when flying in... more
After a cross country flight it was terrific to just walk from the gate into the hotel lobby without dealing with shuttles etc.... Terrific view of airport, some airplane noise in room but overall a fairly quiet room. Spacious room with 2 queens. Upon request they promptly provided an extra cot for my daughter without complaint or additional charge. Odd... more
Great hotel, very helpful and friendly staff. Loved watching the activity on the jetside of the hotel. Maybe a bit pricey but look for deals on the discount websites. So convenient when you need to overnight
Excellent job by management & staff from start to finish in handling the planning & execution for our group of 44.which made everyone's experience very special. Thanks for going above & beyond our expectations.
Superb location for short stay / transit. out of the customs area, we made it to the hotel in 5min. the day after, we had an international flight to HK. we were able to early check-in, return to the hotel for a shower (with the requested late check-out), boarding heading for the immigrations area. so convenient.
After arriving tired from a night flight, I was greated by the convenience of this hotel, not having to leave the airport is a plus, and the rooms are pure comfort with all the high end ammenities. Room service 24 hours is amazing, excellent service
Enjoyable and comfortable and super convenient. Staff friendly and professional. Rooms comfortable, beds outstanding. Clean efficient well run hotel. Surimi fly quiet and fold floor truly outstanding.
This is our second time staying at the Fairmont Vancouver and I can personally say the experience was better than the first time we visited. The hotel, from the minute you enter, has this feeling of extreme cleanliness and excellent and friendly service. We stayed on the Gold floor and the rooms were beautiful. The food and service was all... more
Fairmont YVR is always the hotel that we stay in when going through the airport. It is very convenient in the airport and the Gold floor is a nice retreat.
The staff on Gold floor always remember us and inquire about our trips for business or pleasure.
Received excellent service in this hotel.Room very comfortable and spacious and with the siting at the airport the ideal choice for a first night in Vancouver following a10 hour flight .Lounge service was attentive and good quality.
I spent 2 nights recently at this hotel- enroute from UK to a remote Discovery island and on my return before flying back. Both times were excellent- quick check in and out, rooms spacious, comfortable, sound proofed and extremely well equipped. Public areas light and airy with speedy service. If I repeat this trip I would certainly stay at the... more
Fantastic view of runway, city, sunset, ocean and mountains. Quiet, fabulous room, clean, teriffic linnens.
Quite a walk from car rental return and west jet/air canada check in desks. Given the price of the room it should include WIFI. Would stay here again for a splurge or treat.
Spent a fortune on the Disney Alaska cruise and stayed here day before and day after cruise. Friendly staff, clean/comfortable rooms and great food. Rare to find this kind of quality in an airport hotel. It also has a nice fitness facility and pools including one that produces a current to swim against. Kids and wife loved it!

Fairmont YVR was our first stop as we were heading to

The rooms have a very nice feel to them: warm and rich. Very comfortable bed and quiet, although right next to the airfield. Great views and fun to just watch the airplane traffic. Hi tech room, everything is controlled from a station right next to the bed. Great stay, my only wish would have been to have two big chairs... more
Love this hotel. It was so nice, staying here was like being in your own little city. The Vancouver Airport has lots of stuff to eat and get if you forgot anything. This is a wonderful hotel, close to the train to get access into Vancouver itself.
All the luxury you expect from a high thread count hotel sleep before or right after your travel adventures. Right over the international departures in the terminal, you couldn't get to check in faster if you tried. And quiet? The rooms are sound proofed. We didn't hear a whisper of a plane. Are there planes at this airport? The room... more
My husband and I stayed at the fairmont on July 18th. We arrived late in the evening but decided to share a meal before retreating for the night. Upon ordering our meal my husband informed our waiter of his nut and sesame seed allergy. Our bison burger unfortunately was smothered with baba ganaush (main ingredient tahini paste.) After only inhaling... more
I had 2 layovers at Vancouver a week apart and stayed at The Fairmont adjacent to the airport for convenience. Both visits I arrived later in the evening, check-in is welcoming and easy, with baggage assistance offered each time. Since it was late I chose room service to dine even though the restaurant was still open, I was too tired... more
I arrived in the eaarly evening after a long flight from London and ikmmedaitely the welcome at reception made me feel at home. I had a room on the 13th floor with views towards the runway but it was very quiet and with the curtains drawn I could have been miles from anywhere instead of at an airport. The bed... more
The Fairmont at Vancouver Airport is a lovely hotel. The food and service are excellent. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Access to the city is easy and cheap. The staff are friendly and helpful
I work in the Vancouver airport, and decided to splurge for a night stay before my family and I flew out on an early flight the next day. What a great decision! The room was lovely, the beds were incredibly comfortable and there was no issue with noise even though aircraft where taking off and landing right outside our window.... more
Located right in the airport this property is the most convenient place to
stay.If you have an early morning flight or return late evening it is so
convenient to be where yo need to be and not have to look for transportation
to your hotel. Rooms very soundproof. Good pillows and comfortable beds.
When you're tired after a trans-Atlantic flight and you've got to get up very early the next morning for a connecting flight, this hotel is the perfect choice. Up the escalator from the check-in desks and you're there; the trip back to the check-in takes minutes - if you dawdle.
Views from the rooms are either over the water or...
more
Once you get to the escalator you escape the airport. The fairmont is not only a great hotel but also has a very nice restaurant & bar for a quick retreat. The rooms make you feel at home with their exceptional layout and closet space; furthermore, the service team is also very attentive and thorough.
We stay at this hotel because it is at YVR and very convenient. Usually the service is excellent, and was on our last stay except for the restaurant, we had our 7 year old grandson with us and a 90 minute meal is unacceptable.
The food(breakfast-hot and cold items, appetizers in afternoon and honour bar) as well as small treats in the room, in the evening are exceptional examples of the hospitality provided by the Fairmont Gold experience. The room is spacious, very comfortably and elegantly furnished, and the washrooms possess up-to-date and elegantly appointed furnishings and implements.

Excellent check in by Iris. Who also knows Vancouver very well & knows how to get around as well. This is a Luxury hotel from lobby/restaurants & rooms. the only thing I would recommend changing is putting in a brand soap/shampoo amenity like an Aveda, Philosophy, etc...
This hotel is also within the Vancouver airport, so very convenient if you're...

It is the only DIRECTLY attached property at YVR. As you are arriving to the check in there is an overwhelming fragrance in the air, not unpleasant but strong. The hotel is well run. Clean. The bar staff is pleasant and courteous. Front desk staff appeared confused when asked about room configurations.....Cleaning is thorough at least on the 11 floor.... more
It's the second time we've stayed there and both times were really pleased. Breakfast was great, rooms spacious and we all felt the employees go above and beyond what we expect of hotel staff.
Really easy access into Vancouver on the Sky Train. For us it's a great 24 hour break in between flights.
One thing I would say is...

Great hotel! Arrived late and my luggage handle was broken. We were met at the airport level. Dennis gave us our keys and met us at the room within 5min and took my luggage to have it fixed. I was blown away! He was back within 15minutes with the handle fixed. This completely was not expected! I stay at this... more
Looking for a 5 star hotel to stay in during a stopover in Vancouver. I recommend the Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel. Be sure to join the Fairmont President's Club (no cost) online. You will receive a monthly email "Great Dates, Great Rates" with the opportunity to purchase rooms at great discounts (first come, first serve) across the Fairmont Chain..
Very nice and convenient.
Good and handy location, without need for a taxi ton go from and to airport.
The room was conveniently located and dressed nicely. The room temperature was very nice and habitable.
I always stay here even when I am working downtown. It is quietly exciting and I love the rooms overlooking the runway. It is so convenient when flying in from another city to use this as a base. It has the advantage of a great restaurant and bar.
Convenient and well maintained hotel that allows US citizens to walk off the plane after Canadian customs and get a good night's sleep without leaving the terminal area.Hotel is more expensive than nearby chain hotels, but a class above.
The fairmont lives up to its reputation and is a beautiful hotel. The only negative item I can say is that wifi is not free. In this day and age I expect it at every hotel especially those of the fairmonts status.
Despite being right at the airport the rooms are quiet and sound proof. Depending on what side of the hotel, you can get a room with the view of the runway and the mountains. Some rooms have air-jetted jacuzzi.
Unique Quality: It's the first hotel in the world to introduce airline check-in from the guests rooms.

Great place to stay! Convenient and very nice rooms! Would definately stay again!
good location and clean room some bad staff service
The perfect place to stay i fyou have an early nmorning flight out of Vancouver. Great views with a telescope provided to watch the planes take off and land. Great food and relaxing atmosphere in the lounge areas.
Last trip here I found myself needing to stay in richmond bc and this is the one that came up. Other then lack of good places to go for breakfast this was a hit. I like the sky train access to downtown and the location suited be. I may be back, however I am looking for a place that provides a great breakfast. I can see myself staying here again I am just not sure when.
My husband and I spent the last night of our Vancouver trip here as we had an early departure the next morning. We took the Canada Line from our downtown hotel to the airport, walked a short distance to the US Departures Terminal and took the elevator to the hotel - it couldn't be more convenient.. Check-in was smooth and it was a felt good to experience the tranquility of the hotel after... more
The location of this hotel is IN the airport! Surprisingly it is NOT loud, from the planes like most airport hotels. Our room had a huge picture window overlooked the planes boarding (basically a wall of windows). It was a great view!
The rooms are very nice and big. The bathtub was calling my name, and I was surprised at the length. I've never been in a tub that long (at least 5' 5" long)! I...

The best airport hotel and one of the top five hotels I stay at and I traveled very heavy during more than 40 years. Service is impeccable, the restaurant is outstanding, just walk downstairs and you check in to your flight. If you get an upgrade to gold level there is nothing more to ask for. After a week in a paper mill or other industry this is an oasis to come to for me.
I stayed here a year ago and completely forgot to write a review! Yikes! We had a wonderful stay. It was the May long weekend, there was rain in the forecast and I really didn't want to: a) stay home, b) go to whistler or seattle, or c) spend a ton of money on the ferry to Vancouver Island. So we spent a night at the Fairmont Airport. I
It's literally part of the airport, which is awesome and...
more
Never in the world have I been to a more airport-convenient hotel. The Fairmont is not only near, adjacent, or whatever those other terms hotels use, but it's ON the airport property, literally an escalator-ride down from check-in. You don't get any more convenient!
It's Canadian-clean, nice accommodations, good service, and a will-do-again.
This hotel is so convenient and easily the best airport hotel I have stayed in, anywhere in the world.
Staff are accommodating, the rooms are spacious with views of the runway, and quiet.
I have found the bar staff at Globe quite surly and unfriendly, so now I just go downstairs to Vino Volo right at US arrivals when I want a snack and glass of wine.
The Gold lounge like all Fairmonts has a...

staff was super nice and helpful- perfect location for airport.
Failed to deliver breakfast in the room despite order having been made correctly. It transpired that the order had not even been collected.Not particularly good value for money and I would certainly not recommend it to friends. Very disappointing for a top class hotel.
First rate for convenience, comfort, and value for money. An excellent choice for those arriving in BC after a long haul flight. Would recommend this hotel to all, even though all the facilities were not used and will make a repeat reservation on next trip.
Exceeded expectations. From the entrance, to reception, to the nicely appointed room, it was exceptional. I would recommend it to anyone travelling through Vancouver airport. The location in the airport makes it a good spot to stay when having a long layover.
Great location for travellers (at the airport). Clean with nice feather pillows & duvet. Courteous staff. Not the cheapest place but definately a good value. It was great not to have to take a taxi or shuttle to catch an early flight.
The Fairmont Vancouver Airport was a huge success and I've already recommended it to all of my friends and colleagues. The staff were very helpful and the service was excellent. The room itself was simply top notch. The service in the bar/restaurant was also first class.
A little expensive, but well worth it. Fantastic room and bathroom with all amenities (even milk for the coffee!)Extremely comfortable bed. Highly recommended
The hotel was excellent. I would certainly recommend it to my collegues
good access to the air port just going down one floor, great room with bath tub, good veiw from the room or the restaurant. good restaurant, good tea. but the only thing is, there is only one choice of good restaurant around
Very convenient (inside the terminal) and comfortable. Rooms are nice and spacious.
Highly recommended hotel. Great service, nicely appointed rooms, very comfortable beds. Every major airport should have a hotel like this. You just cannot beat the convenience.
incredible location to the international gates for US departures. great service, nice rooms and would stay again for a layover.
We had a 6am flight, needing to get up at 3:30am. Great way to start a vacation. They set us up with a room with a view of the airplanes, which was perfect for my 2 year old's entertainment. Room was a good size. I forgot my contact lens case and called front desk. They promptly brought one to my room. Great service! We had dinner at the restaurant, which was good food. The service was a bit... more
This rating is for the restaurant, which deserves a 3.5 star. Went there for afternoon tea on a recent Living Social deal. Service was great but the afternoon tea was not as good as a couple of the other Fairmont high teas in Vancouver. Parking was easy, either drive to the economy lot (may be a longer walk) or P2/P3 of the hourly lot, and included as part of the deal - two 60-minute vouchers... more
I love Fairmont Hotels and when I can I stay there, I do. It is definitely not as often as I would like.
This time however I did not experience fluffy duvets and enough pillows for a village. It was just tea...and it was exquisite tea...

I travel pretty often and have stayed in a huge variety of accomodations over the years. The Fairmont YVR is one of the best hotel airports out there... located right in the terminal.

Talk about ease of airport access. I knew when booking this hotel it was on the airport property, but I didn't know it was IN the airport. Made our need of having to be at the airport at 630 AM very easy to do.
We had spent the week just south of the border in Washington and due to a conflict it worked best for our hosts to take us back to Vancouver on Friday night. No big deal. I didn't...

This hotel is right in the airport on the departures level. I have stayed here 5 times before. It is very convenient when you arrive late or you have an early departure. You just roll your cart up in the elevator and you are almost in your room. The hotel has a good standard but I see that is starting to be in need of a little tlc. The gym is ok. Carbio machines are nice but the weight... more
This hotel is great ! What a wonderful idea to have a hotel
In the airport, where you can rent half days ( for those with a layover - how perfect ! )
The decor is upscale- not quite as trendy / modern as Fairmount Pacific Rim but not as stuffy or outdated as Fairmount Vancouver on Georgia.
You take an escalator or elevator upstairs , then you cross a walkway that resembles a runway .., just...

the room was wonderful, the service and staff were superb, and the food was fantastic.
we expected to be treated well at the fairmont, but the experience at the fairmont vancouver airport is above anything we ever expected at an airport or at a hotel, and is a model for other hotels (fairmont and others) to emulate.
these fine folks set the standard. we love it!
The Fairmont YVR is one of my favorite airport hotels. What sets this one apart from most others is the service (top notch), the feel (casual luxury) and that it is in the middle of the terminal (not 5 or 10 minutes walk like in some of the bigger airports).
Upon check in I was offered a Gold floor upgrade - yes! The hostess on the gold floor is a real doll. They know how to take care of their...

It doesn't get much better than this place. I often will just walk-in and stay in one of their rooms after a long flight, even though I live in Vancouver! Get the rooms with the floor-to-ceiling windows and soaker jacuzzi tubs!
The convenient location was perfect for my travel plans. Great comfort and staffing.
While in high school in the 80s, I trained at the Dallas Fairmont Hotel, one of city's 2 5-star hotels. So I know what the name means.
Just walking down the hallway to my room I realized that I was in a nice hotel that knows what a nice hotel is. And I'm not just talking about quality workmanship and well-appointed rooms. I'm talking atmosphere, attitude and spirit.
I loved the location, just...

By far the best airport hotel I know, combined with very fair rates!
The staff is always very professional, the rooms are squeaky clean and comfortable. All facilities top notch. This makes the hotel a first class choice for any sort of layover or even if I have an early departure and like to relax beforehand without the taxi/car service/C-Line stress.
Friends of mine recommended the...

“ Excellent location, very attractive hotel, great service, but the flaws that I've described (dirty shower, hair in bathtub, tattered bath mat, 1 bathrobe (2 guests!) Take this otherwise excellent hotel out of the five star class. ”
Recently I had a 6 AM flight from YVR. I spent the night before at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport and was very happy with that decision. The hotel is stunning, the rooms and bathrooms spacious and attractive and, best of all, I didn't have to get up at 3 to drive to the airport, park my car and catch a shuttle to the departure area. This hotel is a gem....I only wish I could have stayed longer!

Would highly recommend this lovely hotel. The staff was impressively courteous and I thoroughly enjoyed the convenience.
I love this hotel. If you can manage to schedule a layover in Vancouver, try your absolute best to stay here. Yes, it's in the airport. Literally, you walk through customs, down the hall and into the ticketing area. The hotel is up the escalator.
The rooms are exquisite. You can see planes taxiing from your window, but you'll never hear them due to soundproof windows. The bathrooms have...

Imagine your road weary flight attendant, after a long duty day serving passengers from Chicago-San Francisco- Vancouver. By the time she has flirted her way through Canadian Customs and Immigration, she is about ready to collapse. The escalator to the hotel beckons, she does not even have to roll her wheelies to the curb and get in a hotel van, in her high heels. She simply stands on the... more
average hotel for above average price. not up to standards at other Fairmonts I have stayed. Restaurant prices ridiculous!!
The hotel is located right at the far end of the airport and could not be more comfortable or convenient. It is surprisingly quiet and offers many amenities including a pool and fitness room that looks out over the interior of the airport. It is our top choice for a quick overnight stay in Vancouver and we will be staying there again shortly.
When these Canadians build an airport hotel, they don't mess around! This is a beautiful hotel right in the terminal. Yeah, you read that right. You get off the plane and enter a bustling terminal full of confused travelers and a short 5 minute walk later, you are entering another world. From the lobby you can look down and see the mad crush of people, but you can't hear a thing.
I am here for...

This is the first Fairmont I ever stayed at! It's the one that ignited my devotion to all that is "Fairmont".
It all started when I won a free certificate for a night at this Fairmont. Erik and I decided to it would be fun to use for Valentine's day weekend. We drove up north on Friday night, stayed with my parents, then left the next morning to cross the border. On the drive up, we thought we...

How smart is it to have a hotel right in the Airport? You can check in and run back up and shower and wait till you need to get to the Gate.
I missed my flight back to SF one day. It was about 6am in the morning, extremely tired but the Fairmont rescued me. They had a Signature room for me and once I got in, I just plopped onto that wonderful cloud of a bed.
I just sunk in and fell asleep. The...

What a treat to stay at a fine hotel at the airport itself! Seeing planes come and go, and being able to go down to eat and shop was a unique experience! The room was contemporary and had every little detail I could think of, plus a console where I could turn on any lights in the room. The pool and spa were refreshing to go to after a long day. And the bar was upscale as any other bar I would... more
