We stayed for a couple of days pre-flight in February. The hotel scores for its convenience, located in-terminal at YVR. The bar with entertainment was packed both nights we were there. Staff are very pleasant and professional. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although a little dated. Our in-bedroom spa tub was reminiscent of Austin Powers, but the beds were exceptionally comfortable. A couple of points to watch out for - even though the windows are incredibly well glazed for soundproofing you may still find apron operations too noisy. Get a room facing away from the active apron if so. We had one OK night and one really poor night with the noise. Secondly, what is it with the Fairmont only providing really strong overscented floral toiletries? Believe it or not some of us guys also have really dry skin, but the toiletry range was a 'Rose' selection and was frankly obnoxious as it was far too strong and pungent. I had to raid the swimming pool change area for a hand cream that was more neutral. We'd stay again , but it would depend on the price.

Hotel's Favourite
Due to a very early arrival at Vancouver Airport and a 4pm check-in at our downtown hotel, we were in need of somewhere to shower and rest for a few hours and the day use packages offered by the Fairmont Vancouver Airport are just perfect for that! The Fairmont is the only hotel located within the airport itself, so it's perfect for those who don't want the hassle of shuttle buses or taxis to their airport hotel. We arrived just before 8am after our flight from Australia and the check-in process was reasonably smooth, although it did take the receptionist a few moments to find an available room with two double beds as we had booked, instead of a king room. Our room on the 8th floor was comfortable and modern, with great views of the airfield. The bedding was super plush, which was welcome after such a long flight. The bathroom was large with separate bathtub and shower and stocked with quality amenities from Le Labo. Unfortunately we didn't have time to make use of the hotel's other facilities however there is plenty on offer including a pool, gym, spa and multiple dining options including 24/7 in-room dining. For those who are more interested in a shower than sleeping, the hotel also offers guest access passes to the gym and pool with shower, towels and amenities all included for around $30. This is a great value option given YVR doesn't have an arrivals lounge anymore. We were only there for a few hours, but the Fairmont certainly made a good impression and met all our needs. Would definitely recommend it!

I booked a room for a family of four. We had a very tight turnaround with us checking in after midnight and flying out early in the AM. The benefit of an airport hotel such as Fairmont is we expect a high level of service and efficiency. At check in the bellboys insisted they would bring our suitcases up to our room. I explained very clearly that I did not want any delays as we needed to get our kids bathed right away and off to bed. Despite reassuring us that the bags would be brought up immediately, I waited in our room for our bags and they did not arrive. AFter 10 to 15 min I returned to the lobby and brought them up myself. In the room there were only 3 sets of towels despite the fact that we had reserved and paid for 4 people in the room. We had to request an additional set of towels which led to a further delay. DIssapointed overall with the service esp given the price.

Best airport hotel ever! Lovely staff, amazing food/drinks, and the most comfortable, quiet and spacious rooms. Having a sauna/hot tub before a long flight is now essential for all my travel trips. Love this hotel cannot say enough positive things about starting and ending a trip here!

Stayed at this location before a headache of a trip to Nothern BC. Great rooms that are surprisingly very quite with all the jet traffic at YVR airport. Great rooms service. This is the first time I have stayed at the Fairmont brand of hotels and I must say I am excited to stay with them in the future at their other destinations

The most wonderful luxury to walk out of customs and into hotel. Soak in a salt bath, enjoy a glass overlooking the runways. We slept 11 hours and were so well rested the next morning. The service so welcoming. Seems silly to review a place that is always great. After a relatively short flight delay (but we did not know how long it would be) we just booked a room. The best decision.

Once you stay the the Fairmont Vancouver Airport you'll find it hard to stay anywhere else for you layover. With 3 kids 5 and under, being able to walk straight to the hotel and take them to the pool if time permits makes the trip so much easier. No taxis, shuttles or getting on and off the sky train. Additionally the service and facilities are great, if you can spare the expense its definitely worth it.

I have stayed at the Fairmont and have eaten in there amazing restaurant dozens of times over the past few years. Most bookings direct with hotel and a few with third party booking on line to use my Aero Plan points. Upon check in on the 28th I was informed that I had booked for 29th. Because I had used a 3rd party to use my points I had to pay for the 28th. Paid for 2 night and stayed one. I spoke to Randy the manager and was told he would contact Aero Plan and (he never even took my Aero plan #) and see what he could do. I thought it be lip service rather than customer service. . He promised he would back to me and did not. Even a Discount on 2nd night was not offered. Feb. 28th will have been the last stay at this beautiful hotel. Great hotel but poor customer service from management

Dear Mr. Daigle, Good evening and thank you for the comments. My apologies that my email has not reached you but as advised, I was able to confirm with Aeroplan that we were able to use your points from your incorrectly booked reservation and we did not charge your account for your stay. By all means, should any additional charge be place on your account, do not hesitate to reach out directly so that I may continue to assist with reviewing and correcting that as well. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future.
