FAIRMONT PACIFIC RIM Vancouver is unique in so many ways to the rest of Canada. A large port city that offers easy access to the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, requiring only a slight detour around Vancouver Island, it highlights a coastal ambiance that is world-renowned for its west coast splendour and ethnic diversity. All this set against the western edge of the majestic Canadian Rockies and it’s no wonder this is considered one of North Americas premier cities to explore. The Fairmont Pacific Rim is located on the shores of Vancouver Harbour and just steps away from all of the action. Gastown and English Bay Beach are within easy walking distance, or take a short drive across Lions Gate Bridge and explore the wonders of Stanley Park and it’s many walking and cycling paths, or benches with great views of the city. Exceptional golfing, museums, shopping and more are never far from this sophisticated waterfront hotel.
Rooms offer a modern west coast theme with wood accents throughout, muted tones on the walls and thick carpeting. Sizes range from stan- dard Guest Rooms to Fairmont Gold and Suites. The look is contemporary, but the feel is easy living as the views from floor-to-ceiling windows look out towards the harbour or the hotel’s exclu- sive outdoor pool area. All feature Stearns & Foster bedding, marble baths and surround audio for the TV. Casual dining takes place at Oakridge x Pac Rim Patio where Chef Damon Campbell’s food truck is on full display. Fine dining, with a Pacific Northwest flare, happens at Botanist restaurant and there is always the option of dining at the Lobby Lounge and Raw Bar. Additional amenities at the Fairmont Pacific Rim include a full-service Willow Stream Spa, fitness center and poolside cabanas. 1038 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC, Canada www.fairmont.com/pacific-rim-vancouver/
