Vancouver hotels near Christ Church Cathedral

Pros: Clean, modern room. Excellent lighting system (easily modulated brightness)

Cons: Lobby is absolutely dead. Fine for business, but not if one likes to feel one is in a lively, happening city.

Pros: Dining was excellent, were there for a week and ate in the restaurant in the evening 3 times as it was so goid. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Spotlessly clean.

Pros: They were very helpful when we arrived in need of rest. They were kind and did more than many other 5 star hotels to accomodate our needs.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The spa.

Cons: The room was overpriced for the quality.

Pros: Location, cleanliness, friendly professional staff

Cons: Yes I am disappointed with the staff at the Spa . I tried to make an appointment and had questions. Staff was not helpful and accommodating. The time requested was not available and was told that she will call back to update but did not. Unfriendly .

Pros: The staff was incredible, as was the size of the room.

Cons: The AC was woefully bad; the lowest setting was 19.5c (which we chose), but the room never went below 22.

Pros: Everything. Room was very comfortable, quiet and luxurious, staff were so friendly and professional and food was amazing.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location with a touch of luxury. Lovely big suite with delightful complimentary toiletries. Swimming pool and hot tub were great. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Pros: The Shangri La does not disappoint. From the moment we arrived until the time we left their level of service was exemplary. They responded to all requests promptly and pampered us with all sorts of delights (e.g. turn down service, slippers, treats upon arrival). They even allow us to text with a customer service agent who was courteous and responded expeditiously. Every evening we enjoyed tea and coffee from the inroom Nespresso machine using our sitting area. The bathroom was spacious and beautifully maintained. (They even had a discreet retractable clothes line so we could hang up our wet bathing suits to dry.) I could have literally stayed inside the hotel the entire weekend!

Cons: I liked everything!

Pros: Friendly staff. And you can connect cell phone to TV

Cons: Only 15 floors

Pros: I very much enjoyed our stay. Everyone on staff was highly intrested in ensuring our visit was comfortable and attended too. Will return 100%

Pros: The staff went above and beyond and was very friendly.

Pros: Free upgrade

Pros: location

Cons: no coffee maker inthe room.

Cons: In a world where wifi has become fundamental for communication and information, and is offered for free all over the world because it is an inexpensive way to draw business, the fairmont charges $14 per day. I would have paid if it was just included in the already expensive room rate. As intended, I didn't read the fine print and was shocked to find out I had to go to the lobby to work. I was on a business trip. Also, I had to set the thermostat to 90, the maximum, to warm the room. It was never comfortably warm.

Pros: facilities

Cons: Bottled water in room.....coffee available in lobby

Pros: This was our first time staying in any Fairmont hotel and it won’t be our last now! We stayed for a special occasion and I mentioned this to the staff and they went above and beyond! We went with the gold package and if your considering paying a extra for it, do it!!! It’s worth the money. The selection of the breakfast was fabulous, and it doesn’t stop there! They had snacks throughout the day and a wonderful snack bar for supper. We honestly never had to leave the hotel because they provided everything! The Fairmont made us feel very special & pampered! I’m already planning our next weekend getaway!! I feel sorry for my bank account & waistline :D

Cons: Maybe just the roof top pool temperature being warmer so we could enjoy being outside even in the cooler temperatures, but they were fixing it the day we arrived so maybe that had something to do with the heat?

Pros: I was super impressed with the hotel. The staff were courteous, the room was bright and modern with great views and the whole place had a really good feel good factor. The restaurant and bar were first class, with great food and service. The location is superb.

Cons: Being charged for wi-fi in the room. I thought that was a rip off given the amount being paid for the room itself. A big own goal on Fairmont's part and the sooner the review that policy the better.

Pros: The service was outstanding and my view was gorgeous.

Cons: Checked in at 5 and told only one room is left. I booked a water view king bed and the actual view is just a portion of harbor and u can only see it at certain angel in the room. The view is disappointing.

Pros: Very convenient location if you are going to be boarding a cruise!

Pros: Location and very comfortable bed. The breakfast was great and the staff were so helpful.

Cons: I didn't expect to pay for WiFi. Very disappointing.

Pros: View of the Harbour and Stanley Park.

Cons: Staff are borderline rude. Openly discussing the rate you paid for your room and why some basic expectations (internet) are not included in your room. One employee actually said "Let me check the rate you paid, Wi-Fi is not included" - what quality hotel anywhere on this planet does not include Wi-Fi - none that I have stayed at over the past 5 years at least - until Fairmont Waterfront. Tiles on the bathroom floor in the room actually lifting off the floor - every time you stepped on them they felt to be loosening off the floor a little bit more. Long dark hair found on my pillowcase, not mine to be certain.

Pros: The hotel staff were all amazing! I'd like to call out Tacio Silva Olveira specifically for going above and beyond for my twins' bday. He arranged for a room upgrade and also for some birthday toys.

Pros: Location was top - right by the water with stunning views. Breakfast was brilliant with a wide choice of healthy and tasty options. One of the best breakfasts we have enjoyed in a hotel. Thank you for that.

Cons: We wanted our last day in Vancouver to be one of relaxation. The swimming pool is outside. Although It was heated it was not tempting to get in at the end of October. The hot tub was great. However the sauna was uninspiring, just a room with heat in it. Outside are piles of towels. We were disappointed with the lack of a steam room. There is another spa in the same building complex but that one operates independently from the hotel.

Pros: Fantastic room, incredible location

Cons: Took 20 - 30 minutes to get down from 8th Floor to Lobby. Elevator out of service, and big demand.Not acceptable in this level of hotel.

Pros: Can't beat it for location both for the downtown or the cruise departure.

Cons: No.

Pros: Location is perfect and view from harbor facing room was excellent.

Cons: Deluxe rooms are very small, we booked for 4 adults and not only the size of room but size of beds was quite small too. Breakfast was not interesting at all.

Pros: Great view and very comfortable stay!

Pros: Everything other than no free wi-fi Great breakfast made up for that

Cons: No free wi fi???? Come on

Pros: Proximity to port and tourist destinations

Pros: Location location

Cons: No

Pros: Beautiful hotel right on the waterfront. Used it for a one-night pre-cruise stay and it couldn't have been easier. Easily walked to Gastown for shopping and dining.

Cons: Sometimes the elevators took a while and were full, so we'd have to wait for the next one.

Pros: The check in staff was great

Pros: Proximity to the HAL cruise terminal was unbeatable. The lunchtime service in the bar downstairs was excellent, including jazz music selected by our waitress. The bed was comfortable. The desk attendant got us a room quickly even though we arrived quite early.

Cons: The water and shower were strange. Hot water ran out of the cold faucet in the sink for a full minute before it got cold, every time. Temperature of the shower and strength of the stream were from the same dial, so to get good pressure you had to sacrifice comfort. Truly bizarre. You need better signage downstairs to find the front desk. Usually they're on the ground floor. One of the down elevators was out, so we had a long wait because the first one working was full. $4.50 for bottles of water in the room? No way! There should be 2 complimentary water bottles, which you get in other fine hotels. And there is no convenience store nearby which stocks good water at a reasonable price. The (excellent) TV in the room was set at an odd angle, you have to twist your neck to view. Channel selections did not include Fox Business, which has higher ratings than CNBC; and MLB Network, which has baseball coverage other than the Toronto Blue Jays. And if you must burn half a dozen channels on French language programming, it's time to expand channel capacity. The three dinner restaurants had problems, in addition to high prices. The bar which had such good recorded music at lunch had a terrible, whiny live folksinger performing. We had to leave. The top premium restaurant was closed for a special event, and the third was expensive and you could still hear the awful folksinger because there was no wall. We wound up dining at the hotel across the street. You don't want people walking in there, do you? Finally, and most annoyingly, there was a fifteen minute waiting queue for a taxicab when we were leaving for the airport. The cab driver explained that the problem was all the cabs were handling cruise ship traffic. Well, this must happen most days, and you need to do something about it besides having an older doorman losing a battle with the hotel across the street (and customers down the street) for the attention of the taxis. You should probably warn your guests in advance of the problem, and provide a list of private local cars/limos and the URL of the Vancouver version of Uber as alternatives. And hire a sexy young woman to replace the older gent because if cabbies in Canada are anything like those in the U.S., they won't make sharp U-turns to avoid a beautiful woman making sharp whistling sounds.

Pros: Location is amazing for walking in downtown Vancouver. Sky train is steps away. Felt safe and secure.

Cons: I was paying over $--- for a standard room for a night. I felt that for the price of a room that internet could have been included and not cost extra.

Pros: The rooms were large, the beds very comfortable, included a table and chairs for eating, a microwave and large food prep counter, very well-lit, spacious bathroom. Very helpful, polite staff. Excellent food, great walking trails.

Cons: Website misleading re: meal options for Dec 24-25, only $75 buffet or sports bar menu available for all meals. Very dark rooms, very large food prep area, no sink and few odd assorted dishes. No mention on website that pool and spa both closed those days.

Pros: Bedding was very comfortable, and all the front desk staff and doormen were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: Room is lovely, bed very comfortable, most of the staff very efficient, polite and helpful. Spacious bathroom with excellent shower. Sitting room very comfortable and spacious, handy close off door if one person is still sleeping. Easy access to skytrain.

Cons: Room was very hot, had to use noisy a/c to keep cooler. Check-in staff did not understand English well and was very confused and confusing. Lovely bar next door but had sports screen on always.

Pros: Great staff

Cons: Exercise option given without asking for

Pros: Excellent location, large room and very comfortable bed. Staff couldn't be more helpful.

Cons: no gym on premises

Pros: I usually go to Starbucks across the street.

Pros: Nice size rooms, quiet, excellent location, easy parking access in nearby buildings.

Cons: The hotel has been there a while, it's starting to show small signs of wear and tear which could be easily fixed. Specifically many worn damaged small areas on walls and elevator walls. A little bit of paint and stain would easily fix these minor issues.

Pros: The wraparound windows were lovely and the staff were warm and friendly.

Pros: The staff were incredibly friendly at the front door.

Cons: We were in a room directly above the loading zone/dumpster/alley in the back of the hotel. We were woken up by the sounds of trucks loading/unloading, etc at 11pm-midnight, then again at 4am on Sat morning. Nothing like being awake at those hrs w a baby

Pros: location

Cons: It's very dated and the room looked bigger on the website. They made us come downstairs and get our paid food delivery. It they wanted to go above and beyond they could have brought it up to us. I thought it would more upscale, but i guess the aging makes it feel like a 3 star rather than a 5 star. The view was terrible even though we had a high floor. I was looking at the wall of the building next door. I requested a nice view upon checking in. To think for $25 more I could have been at the Pan Pacific in Coal Harbour.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room

Pros: Simone who helped ch Heck us in was enthusiastic about her job and tried to help us every way she could. We arrived very early from a cruise and our room was not ready. She kept us informed about the room. She also checked with the restaurant that we made reservations at to verify the time and made an additional reservation for the following evening. She told us that she was a student in a hospitality and tourism program. I’m sure she will be successful and the Executive Hotel Le Soleilel is very lucky to have her as an employee

Pros: Location, close to cruise port

Cons: Would have liked breakfast included for the amount we paid.

Pros: The hotel was very centrally located and the staff were very responsive. I was particularly impressed with the room as it was recently renovated.

Cons: There was no alarm clock in the room. The park next to the hotel was hosting a very loud exhibit that did not end until 10p.m.. I realize the hotel had no control over this but it was annoying.

Pros: Great location near cruise ship terminal

Pros: Location was perfect. Room was very comfy, clean and wifi worked well. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons: No breakfast included

Pros: Location was perfect

Cons: No food amenities. They also did not have us down for free breakfast. When we asked they told us no. We showed them the email receipt and brought breakfast to our room. At no point did they ask us what we wanted. Just brought food up.

Pros: It's beautiful, amazingly friendly and accommodating staff, great location

Cons: We booked this hotel for the sauna and pool, but we're told it was closed for a private function after we checked in.

Pros: Great guest rooms

Pros: Excellent location and amazing views from the room!

Cons: Room is not child safe for very young children. Our two year old was able to open the door and the window without assistance. Not an issue overall but we had to keep a closer eye on him. Would still stay there again anytime!

Pros: Location ideal close to Canada place, view of VC harbour from my room and the pool/ spa facilities on site. All staff were very Helpful & knowledgable of where to eat nearby and how to reach popular tourist destinations.

Cons: All good

Pros: Excellent location. Good sized rooms. Very helpful reception staff and good room service. Room upgraded was really appreciated.

Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: Great location, spacious suite with harbour views, close to Waterfront, very nice stay with great pool and hot tub use at Terminal City Club

Pros: The King Suite with harbour view was perfect for our family. Clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. The fitness and spa facilities were brilliant. Also a treat to have squash courts there. The location was so good and the prices extremely reasonable for what you get.

Cons: I liked everything about the hotel.
