I´m not aware of any good promos right now, but the Fairmont YVR is regularly listed in the monthly Great Rates Great Dates promo (you need to sign up for the FPC newsletter). If the hotel is listed, it usually is in the $150-$200 range which is a good deal.
My advice would be to book a fully refundable rate and see whether a promo rate / decent advance purchase rate becomes available.

That's great, I've signed up and will check it on thursday for any good deals. What you've suggested would be perfect, it's what the Fairmont in the city costs, which isn't as convenient.

Hotel packages for YVR Fairmont.. I usually can get a pretty good rate whenever I'm staying there.. Sometimes there is a low cost promo.. I would also try www.hotelclub.com and their visa promo..

Btw, I wouldn´t get my hopes up about the GRGD this month, they are usually only valid for bookings over the next 2-3 months. I´d assume if there will be any good rates, they won´t be published before June/July.

Stayed in it over the weekend (GRGD $159 rate)
It's really nice, overlooking the mountain and runway
Bathroom is huge (3 sections - shower, tub, toilet)
Too bad hotel is in the USA departure end, it's a LONG walk to International, and even LONGER to Canada domestic flight

It was a group of 8 adults for us, usual walking pace, and 5-10 mins to International, and another 5-10 to WestJet all the way at the end
with luggage and stroller, I think that's fair walking time
5 minutes from Fairmont to Domestic gate A... you'd really be running or fast walk
Although, YVR may still be shorter than YYZ (with some FAR gates)

Looking for some general directions to the Hotel upon arrival.
I'll be flying in during late December at ~11PM at night and just staying there until the morning when we rent a car and head up to Whistler.
We are flying from PDX to YVR on AS.
Do we exit immigration then look for the hotel or is it on the secure side as we get off the plane? To bad the Gold Floor is closed right now
I could have used one of the Chase Certificates.
Thanks!

Here's the YVR map, and you'll see Fairmont in the middle right, by USA check-in. I don't believe it has a Secured side at all, so you have to "enter" Canada anyway. Look up your gate # to see how far of a walk
Welcome to Canada!!
