| Property Description |
|
A relatively new Vancouver landmark, The Fairmont Waterfront opened its doors in July 1991. Designed by architectural firm Musson Cattall MacKey Partnership of Vancouver (who also designed The Fairmont Chateau Whistler), the hotel features a contemporary west-coast style. Interior designers Wilson and Associates of Dallas utilised deep greens, blues and soft apricot accents to provide a warm, intimate & inviting haven reminiscent of a summer sunset. Located downtown on the shores of Burrard Inlet, across from Canada Place and close to historic Gastown, The Fairmont Waterfront is conveniently connected by covered walkway to the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre, the cruise ship terminal and the Skytrain. Boasting spectacular views of the harbour, North Shore Mountains, and Stanley Park, The Fairmont Waterfront has emerged as one of the leading hotel destinations in Vancouver. Apart from the business and leisure travellers that return time and again, the hotel counts many well-known celebrities and musicians as regular guests as well.
