Best Hotels Celebrate Christmas Vancouver Near Me

Jay Joyce '74: Disappointing at best...My wife and I stayed as part of a Regent Cruise Lines off-ship Vancouver excursion. We have stayed at various Fairmont hotels in the past, and always had a great experience.Not this time.After the first evening, we went to breakfast with what we thought was plenty of time to spare. Upon arrival at the Notch8 maitre d's desk, we were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for the breakfast buffet - even though we could see numerous empty seats in the dining room. They explained they were short-staffed. I asked to see the hotel manager, and only the desk manager was present. I expressed my concern, and said that at a minimum, we should have been told when we checked into the hotel to expect delays in breakfast service (because we had a morning time commitment). He was not aware of the problem. When I said that I would like to speak with the General Manager about the problem, he indicated that the GM had not yet arrived, and he did not know when he would. However, he said that he would have the GM contact me. The GM never contacted me.The make-up mirror light in our room was not working upon arrival. The next morning (same day as the breakfast problem) I stopped by the Front Desk, and the receptionist logged in the problem and said they would have it fixed that day. When we arrived back in our room that evening, it still had not been fixed. I called and they said that someone would be up to fix it. An hour later no one had appeared, and I called again. Same response - they'd get someone up to fix it. An hour later, after no one appeared, I went to bed.Next Day - breakfast - no problem - they had opened more space, leading me to wonder why they could not have seated us at an empty seat the day before...?At 8:15 AM, asked to see the manager to discuss my concerns; same desk manager appeared and said that GM was not in yet. I told him about the lack of response regarding the maintenance problem, and that the GM had not contacted me the day before. Polite reaction, but no actionable response on his part. When we left the hotel at 8:30, the GM had still not arrived.We were told by one of the dining staff team that there have been recent cuts in hours. How can this be possible if you're already not providing the level of service that Fairmont guests have come to expect?After three visits to Vancouver over several years - all at Fairmont Hotels - we will NOT stay at this hotel again, and not recommend it to others.

Taylor Rockefeller: Stayed here with my husband and 2 young kids. Very kid friendly without being a "kid" hotel. Room service food was average,and our bathroom was a little small, but the staff was all 10/10 fantastic. We can't wait to stay here again, either as a romantic getaway or as a family-friendly option. Great location with city views. I can't compliment the staff or environment here enough!

Mitchell Edwards: Beautiful Hotel with tons of history.Super friendly and helpful staff.Defiantly recommebd

Geraldine Henry: Our whole trip was a positive experience from before we arrived; to bellhop service, to extra assistance required with AC and figuring out amenities. Our breakfast before departure was top notch. Each staff member was kind and courteous. Thank you for helping us make the most of our little trip for our kids soccer. We always look forward to our time here. Thank you!Safety: Options for shopping and dining our were all close by. It is nice to have the downtown core experience and be safe and comfortable.Walkability: Excellent location for making the most of our time here.Food & drinks: Always love the quality of care that goes into our food while we are here.

Bernard Beck Jr: Had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hotel as we were getting ready to depart for a cruise. Staff was AMAZING. Will Lin took exceptional care of us during check-in, and was readily available with any assistance that we required during our stay, including being most professional in always calling us by name. The bell and parking staff were also extremely polite and professional. A ten minute walk to the pier and convention center, this location is near anything that you would require including a massive amount of restaurants and bars.The room was fantastic, clean, and we were fortunate (thanks to Will Lin) to get a room with an awesome view of the port.

Matteo Bocci: 4,5 stars. I spent five nights in this hotel for a business meeting. It is impressive how this huge hotel is run in a seemingly effortless fashion. Everything was really good. My room was spacious, clean, with an excellent view. The bed incredibly comfortable, and the service almost impeccable. The only minor point I believe can be improved is the coverage and speed of the Wi-Fi connection. Perfectly located, really convenient to walk pretty much anywhere in the city. Thank you for having me & looking forward to another stay!

Mehsam Sunny: Funny place to work at. They don't hire many people from south America , Asia, middle East , Russia to work in front office , guest services, restaurants and servers.

Rebecca Milson: Absolutely beautiful hotel. Room was very luxurious with everything you could think of. Staff were professional but not friendly with a smile. Which is unusual for Canada

Fred Aram: A hidden gem in the centre of Vancouver. Extremely clean and comfortable hotel with super corteous and helpful staff and quality food. Loved the experience. Truley deserves 5 star.Rooms: Extremely clean and comfortable.Nearby activities: The whole night life and shopping district of Vancouver downtown.Walkability: Right in the heart of the city.Food & drinks: Great food. Fantastic breakfast. Lunch and dinner menue can enjoy more variety.

Anne F: This is a beautiful hotel with impeccable service. The staff are truly top notch.Rooms: Rooms are beautiful. Very clean. The beds are comfortable. The rooms are quiet.

Alison Fisher: We held a 2-day company workshop for 27 people in April and everything the hotel did was outstanding. This was the easiest event I have planned due to the communication and organization from the event staff. The meeting room was set up perfectly for our group and the catering over the two days was amazing. The kitchen also carefully took care of several of our attendees with food allergies. I could not find fault with anything. The service throughout the two days was 10/10. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and quiet. The hotel also arranged for our 27 guests to have dinner at Bacchus restaurant, and again, the food and service was incredible. Would I recommend the Wedgewood Hotel and Spa? Absolutely! Whether for a corporate event or for a personal getaway. We've held several events in Vancouver, and I without a doubt, we will look to book with the Wedgewood Hotel in the future.

sony pandher: good price

Peter Sedin: The bar is my go too when in Vancouver, the service is top notch, the drinks are well made and the setting is fantastic. In other words, if you have time, visit this bar!

Cristian Sevilla: Really friendly staff

Junnosuke Kuroda: We stayed here with my family and our dog, the staffs were warm and friendly.It's located at the center of Vancouver downtown, we could just walk to shops and restaurants on Robson St. We would like to visit here again.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5Hotel highlights Kid-friendly …More

J Larsen: The rooms here should have been renovated about 15 years ago. Who knows when and if that will ever happen, but what exists now is a mishmash of updates throughout the decades and just doesn’t feel like a luxury experience. That said, it is a comfortable boutique hotel with charm and an alternative to some of the bland box hotels in the city.

Zerlina Thompson: We just finished our Spring Break ‘Staycation’ and cannot gush enough about the service, luxury and hospitality of the Wedgwood Hotel and Spa. From the moment we checked in and was surprised with an upgrade to a palatial suite to the welcome chocolates and the turn down service and fresh cookies each night everything was 11/10! We appreciated the personal welcome by name every time we came in and out to after hours access to the steam room and lounge. We enjoyed afternoons at Bacchus even just to unwind from our busy day. Staff is lovely and helpful and that is enough reason for us to return very soon!

Preet Mudhar: I was really impressed with the service. All the staff we encountered was so friendly and made our experience that much better! The turn down service with a little treat is a nice surprise when you come back in the evening. They had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, would definitely recommend to friends.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5Hotel highlights Luxury …More

Tommy Tong: On Friday, March 10th, 2023, I decided to have a cocktail whilst waiting for a dinner reservation nearby. Whilst sitting at the bar, I witnessed Lindsay, the bartender, treating his protégé Liam in a manner that was not conducive in creating and/or nurturing a supportive environment.Imagine learning the skills required for a career in mixology during a busy Friday night at a 4-star hotel in the heart of Vancouver. If that wasn't stressful enough, imagine having to learn from someone who does NOT have your best interests in mind and makes this fact known through his ineffective communication choices.I felt so bad for Liam that I gave him a tip and thanked him for his hard work. Unlike the gratuity that I left for Lindsay, that was the best money I spent in a long time.TO MANAGEMENT:Please do not invite me to contact you with your cookie-cutter, insincere replies on Google Reviews. I won't be coming back to your establishment. This is not the first time I've had a negative experience at your bar. The 2-stars are for your cocktail creations and for the design and ambience of your decor (which I find very appealing).What a shame.

Ryan Punambolam: Three star hotel at best. Booked through AMEX fine hotels with late check out. Told the morning of check out that “we will have charge me.” Food was terrible. Saving grace is Chipotle is across the street. Lots of other better options in Vancouver with this price point.

Christopher Brumley: Great lobby. Felt welcomed at the front door. Front desk experience was ok. Room was nice and housekeeping brought us everything we needed. Prime location as well. Would recommend to anyone who likes old fashioned European style room.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5 …More

K Michelle park: The room was dated but it was clean and well maintained. The staff service wasn't the best especially the valet parking. I love going to Relais & Chateaux hotels, but this one wasn't amazing. The restaurant had a great foods with live piano music in the evening.

marcel van der woerd: Goed hotel en uitvalslocatie. Kamer was groot en schoon, van alle gemakken voorzien. Helaas was de koffie machine en koffie cups van mindere kwaliteit.

Michelle B: Room was clean and spacious. Service was good, no complaints there. The location is near to downtown, depanneur, etc. Only thing is is that Granville street does have a lot of homeless. they are not harmful or agressive, but it is deconcerting. After 11pm, you need to present ID card to get in. room facing the main street can be noisy so if you are a light sleeper, you can ask for a quieter room.

Edith Fortier: Très belle hôtel, propre confo.

Joshua Ji: Amazing hotel with great service. Super nice reception and great amenities included. The suites are large and views of Vancouver downtown were good. Room was very clean and housekeeping did a good job. Location is great, lots of shops and activities close by (Stanley Park, Waterfront Station and Seabus to North Vancouver, Robson and Davie street for shopping), although it can get quite rowdy in the evening. Can hear street outside but not too loud. Staff were excellent and accommodating, especially regarding luggage storage prior to check-in and after checkout.Slight downside is that it is close to the hospital so you can constantly hear ambulances (about 3 per night).Rooms: Clean rooms.Walkability: Close to downtown and lots of buses available. Transit is excellent.

Denise P: It was a nice stay, although not quite (I could listen to people shouting every night, even when I was above the 10th floor).The location is very close to multiple touristic places.The service was great. We had a corporate event and they exceeded our expectations (catering was really nice).Food & drinks: The poutine and the fries were great!

Whiplash: Was a nice room and very good for at the restaurant that was attached. However, there was an injection site just around the corner and a police station across the way with sirens going off all hours of the night. It's not the hotels fault, just not the greatest of locals. Oh, and NO POOL !!Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 4/5 …More
