Not What it Once Was: It's wonderful to have such a historic institution as the old "Hotel Vancouver" but it's looking a little tired in some of the rooms and it's horrendously expensive. Very well located though.

Arrogant arsholes: This hotel used to be loved. I would totally stay away from it. The shower was icecold, the bed soft, and the rates ridiclous in this time of recession. Plus they have a fur store in the lobby seliing dead rabbits! STAY AWAY! Lost in another world, another time.

The 556 rooms and suites are decorated with old-school elegance: lots of...

Opened by the Queen in 1939 and still grand and glittering through incarnations and generations, the Hotel Vancouver is nothing short of a talisman in the skyline. Steeped in tradition, from the elegant port-coch è re entrance to formal high tea served in the richly paneled 900 West lobby lounge amid the tinkling of grand piano, swish Fairmont service fits the near-hallowed halls of this...
