Fairmont Pacific Rim

Vancouver

LoginSave

Near the convention center, this superbly stylish 367-room property is Vancouver's newest Fairmont. While many rooms have city views, the ones with waterfront vistas will blow you away, especially as you sit in your jetted tub or cube-shaped Japanese bath with a glass of bubbly. Extras include gratis BMW loaner bikes plus an outdoor terrace swimming pool.

Check out the wrap-around text-art installation on the hotel's glass exterior. And stick around for drinks in the sleek Botanist restaurant, complete with its own cocktail-forward bar. Soothe your hangover away the next day at the Willow Stream Spa, one of the area's most popular pampering options. Overnight parking costs $55.
