We stayed at that Fairmont in August 2018 and really liked the location - we wanted to be in the midst of it all, I guess ;-) My husband loved their bikes available to borrow - they were really nice! and then he made me bike around Stanley park. I am not great on a bike....but i survived. We had a harbor view and hubs could stay with his binoculars watching for hours....Yeah, we're a little weird. I would look into the Westin if we go again (I know I want to go again as I prefer one-direction Alaska cruises...)
