4. Fairmont Waterfront
Admired by cruise passengers and luxury-seekers alike, the Fairmont Waterfront plays off of Vancouver’s best asset: its mountains. Whether you’re gazing at them from the floor-to-ceiling windows in your room or while lounging at the heated outdoor pool, the Fairmont’s surroundings are a consistent source of praise from recent guests. And because this Fairmont is conveniently located across the street from the cruise ship terminal, passengers can easily go from boat to hotel, or vice versa. Along with the superb location, visitors praise the accommodations, appointed with 47-inch flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffee makers and Le Labo toiletries. When you’re ready for a bite to eat, head to ARC Restaurant, where the chef incorporates ingredients from the hotel’s 2,100-square-foot rooftop garden and on-site honeybee colony into the menu. If you’re a Le Club Accor Hotels program member, you can earn future free nights and airline miles for choosing to bed down here.
