What hotel would you choose and why?
Also what type of room in that hotel for the best views,we have a price range of $600 Canadian dollars per night.
Fairmont Pacific Rim, hands down. IMO it´s by far the best hotel in the city and easily one of the best city center Fairmont hotels.
You´ll find many reviews in the Fairmont forum (feel free to drop by anytime
)
I´d recommend any of the following rooms:
- Signature Harbour Mountain View room (some also have a private balcony with excellent views of the harbour, but you´d need to specifically request the balcony)
- Fairmont Gold room/suite: only some of the Gold rooms/suites have a view of the harbour, however the lounge on the 21st floor has a large private patio with fantastic views
Depending on your dates a Harbour view suite may be also be within your price range.
You can also save some money by booking through a Virtuoso travel agent or booking the 4th free offer on the Fairmont website. (see
details)
