Question: What has all the charm of an English castle, all the history of a beloved Vancouver landmark and all the amenities you could ever need (or want) on your British Columbia vacation? Answer: The hotel in our No. 2 spot, of course.
We can’t imagine a more perfect backdrop to a romantic Vancouver weekend. After all, what woman hasn’t dreamt of being swept away to a castle by her prince charming? When you cross the threshold of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver lobby, you’re essentially stepping out of everyday life and straight onto the pages of a fairytale. Here, you and that special someone will be treated to champagne and strawberries, oversized tubs filled to the brim with scented bubbles and the most inspiring views in town – and that’s just in the privacy of your suite! Step outside and you’ll find enticing onsite options, from couples’ treatments at the Absolute Spa to jazz performances in the 900 West Lounge. Whoever said seduction is anything but easy has obviously never stayed at this Vancouver luxury hotel.
The spacious dining room and ornamental fireplace of the Fairmont’s Lieutenant Governor’s Suite lend an inviting air for entertaining, while views of the Vancouver cityscape beyond the parlor serve as an excellent conversation piece. Forgo the hassle of food preparation or catering and head to one of the Fairmont’s onsite dining options, including a traditional English tea service presented in the elegant façade of an equally authentic castle and accompanied by finger sandwiches, homemade scones and Devonshire cream.
