Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver and is the third building to bear the name. The current grand Fairmont Hotel Vancouver stands on West Georgia Street, and opened its doors to the public in May of 1939 after an often-delayed, 11-year construction caused by the Great Depression. This historic hotel has seen many celebrities walk through its halls, including Dal Richards and Juliette, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Until 1975, the hotel was home to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The building was also used for the exterior shots of the Tipton Hotel for the 2005 Disney Channel favorite, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. In an area as rich as Vancouver, there is never a shortage of exciting activities. Guests can explore the Vancouver Art Gallery just next door to the hotel, or visit the Vancouver Aquarium, Gastown, or Science World. Granville Island, Stanley Park, and numerous water adventures are located within a 60-minute drive of this world-class destination. Exquisite cuisine and fresh seafood abound at nearby restaurants like Blue Water Café and Raw Bar, Le Crocodile, Cin Cin, and Chambar. A stay at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver provides guests with the opportunity to see the heart of Vancouver.
