    We stayed here with my 3 kids under 7 and overall was a great experience. The good: best room service ever. The food is actually good. They are so prompt, friendly and set everything up for you. The burger was amazing, we got it twice. Breakfast was good too. Overall, loved their food here. The rooms are very nice and somewhat spacious, nice bathroom and nice view. You cannot hear any city noise. No weird smells and overall comfortable beds. The parking is hit or miss but manageable without valet. The decor is somewhat Vegas like and nice overall. Great location. Great job cleaning the hotel while we were gone. The not so great: I was a bit disappointed with the lobby and front desk. I didn't feel very welcomed and I hardly am hard to please with that but it was cold enough for me to notice. The lobby is also so dark and not inviting. No coffee or anything. Just felt somewhat dead. But my kids did love the foos ball game. They close the pool for kids at 7 pm. We respected this but definitely felt it was not very fair. The pool is also cold and not my favorite. Small and just not the best part about this place. Nonetheless, it was a great stay and will be back.

    Lovely. A bit pricey but the small touches make it worth the price. Heated bathroom floors, a massive tub that fits two, a view that's easy on the eyes... and the locations is perfect. The staff is so helpful and always attentive... fresh apples at the desk for guests, and even supplied a sharps container when asked for medication. They are pretty awesome.

    dirty walls that weren't wiped down

    I recently stayed at Paradox Hotel with my girlfriend and was honestly disappointed by the cleanliness, especially considering this is supposed to be a luxury, high end hotel. When we first got to our room, we wanted to have a drink, but the glasses were covered in dust. They looked like they had been sitting there for months without being washed. There were also visible marks and smudges around the room that could have easily been wiped down but clearly weren't. I called the front desk to let them know, and they offered us an upgraded room for an additional $50. Unfortunately, the upgraded room was even worse. The glasses were even dustier, the bathtub was dirty enough that I had to clean it myself before using it, and there were dried stains running down the walls that looked like spilled coffee or juice. There was also crusted shampoo that's been sitting in the shower walls from the last people who showered in there and they did not clean it... finding this was very disturbing. These weren't permanent stains they looked like something housekeeping simply failed to clean. It made us feel uncomfortable staying there as it feels like they didn't clean. On top of that an alarm that was very loud started going off the whole building including inside our room at 4am which they said was a fire alarm and it was a false alarm which i'm not sure how but it scared us out of our sleep and we had a very hard time going back to sleep from the anxiety it gave us. I think the alarm was glitching im not sure. Overall, I expected much better from an expensive, luxury hotel. Cleanliness is one of the most basic expectations when you're paying premium prices. While the staff tried to help, the condition of both rooms was unacceptable. I hope the hotel improves its housekeeping standards because this experience did not match the reputation or price of the property.

    These plushies were sooooo cute (for sale).

    The hospitality at this hotel was AMAZING. It was probably one of the best that I've experienced. I'd definitely stay at Paradox if I visit Vancouver again. We went during off season so the hotel was very quiet. The room condition was great--everything seemed very new and well maintained. I literally had to check how much I paid as I was entering the room because the room was too fancy for the price that I paid. The only downside was that there was no privacy in the room as the room was facing an office building that was only a few feet away. We kept the curtains closed completely, which wasn't a big of a deal for us as the view wasn't great anyways. It rained all day on the day that we arrived in Vancouver so we ended up spending the entire day in the hotel, having some drinks at the lounge (we got two drink vouchers to use while waiting for our room to be ready) and a dinner at Mott 32, which is inside the hotel.

    Cool hotel in a good location ROOMS: spacious and bright. Very comfortable bed with good pillows, big windows. The bathroom with a shower, bathrobes and slippers are provided. The room is equipped with a safe, TV (movies are available, new releases as well), iron stuff. Watch out - some rooms are very close to buildings nearby and provide good view on both ways. LOCATION: perfect location in the Downtown - everything is within walking distance. 5min to the nearest metro station by feet, 40min drive to the airport by train. There are groceries (I recommend you Urban Fare - there you can find everything), big liquor store, cafes and restaurants nearby. FOOD: there are one Chinese restaurant and Karma lounge with international menu, cool cocktails and snacks. FACILITIES: good wi-fi, pool, gym, concierge, ATM on site, airport transfer, bikes rent STAFF: very friendly and smiley, they really try to make your visit very comfortable Cool hotel in a good location ROOMS: spacious and bright.

    I came for business trip and stayed 3 nights and 4 days. All the employees I met here gave impeccable service. Especially the room service was excellent. Good location and convenient to go anywhere.

    This hotel is so absolutely beautiful! Our room had floor to ceiling windows with an amazing view of the city. The room came with free water, coffee and even a iPad that you can use. Very high tech and modern room. We even had a bottle of wine delivered to us when we arrived!! They offer fresh fruit every day at the front desk. Second floor has a beautiful restaurant/lounge. Just a couple blocks from downtown so within minutes, you will be in the heart of everything. Valet was amazing and quick as well! Will definitely stay here next time we are in Vancouver!!

    Desk area and mini bar

    Hands down the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. The staff went above and beyond! Highly recommend room service! Marty, the valet, was fast and helpful tips on a steakhouse! Best value in Vancouver!

    Well. This was a pleasant surprise. I was worried when we walked in through "Karma" the bar/nightclub and it was hopping. Definite meat market and hookup bar. I didn't like that vibe. Quickly walked through, and it was modern, clean, open, and reminded me a lot of Vegas hotels (without the awful smoke smell.) Really beautiful and high end. So we went to check in, and the front desk experience was also great. The guy who checked us in asked if we were celebrating anything and we said our anniversary. He gave us a free drink card for Karma Bar & it also had 10% off food. He also said they would send something special up from the kitchen which was so kind and great service!! So we headed up to our room. And it was beautiful. GREAT views of the city, modern, upscale and clean. There is a main control panel on the wall near the door for temperature, lighting (you can turn it ALL on and off there,) and the drapes and shades can be opened and closed there. THAT said, small aside as you can also do that IN BED with buttons on the nightstand on BOTH sides!!! Then there is the bathroom, heated floors y'all. I think this is SO much more common in Canada than the US but oh I sure loved them in the bathroom!!! Every aspect of the room was thought of for guest comfort. It had plenty of storage, the bed was firm and had cozy covers and pillows and it was QUIET. I say that as we were on the 15th floor, so I don't know if floor 3 gets loud because of the nightclub, or 4...but 15 was so quiet that we slept until 10:30-11 our first morning out of pure LIFE exhaustion. We didn't need housekeeping, so you can just hit the privacy button or put the do not disturb sign up. I couldn't have asked for more with the comfort and cleanliness and QUIET. I feel truly refreshed and happy checking out today. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

    This is by far the best hotel in Vancouver. The service is immaculate in every way. I am a Expedia gold member so they updated my room and gave me a bottle of wine without me asking. Hotels never want to honor perks like this without you begging them for it. I suggest choosing valet parking which is located on the back side of the hotel. Everyone is knowledgeable of the area. Check out Karma lounge and Mansion nightclub if you're feeling social. We did bottle service at Mansion and it was well worth having to take a fast elevator back to you're room when you're done.

    When I tell you, Paradox is probably one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at, I am not lying. Everything about this hotel from the service to the quality of the rooms, to the food was absolutely phenomenal. The views from the rooms are breathtaking! Saksham, who helped me throughout most of my stay, was such an amazing person and was extremely supportive. He helped by giving restaurant advices, transportation advice, hotel service... just everything! Everyone there is extremely friendly! This is definitely a place I would stay at again! Highly recommend

I've always…read morewanted to stay at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia (on W Georgia St) or the L'Hermitage Hotel (on Richards St) as they're located closer to the places I frequented when in town so this time, I checked on availability and pricing. A one-bedroom signature suite at L'Hermitage was significantly less than a regular room at the Pan Pacific and the Rosewood so I booked 3 nights ($625CAD/night). I got off the Silver Moon at 9:45am, handed my luggage off to a representative from Luggage Forward, and walked from the cruise terminal up to the hotel. My room wasn't ready, so I dropped off my carry-on and backpack and went shopping and to have lunch. I was still on my way to CF Pacific Centre when the front desk called, informing me my room was ready. I told them I'd return after lunch. Wow, I loved my room (707)! As you entered through a short hallway, you found yourself looking at a full kitchen to your right, bathroom to your left and then the bedroom, past a closet housing a stack washer/dryer. The living room was bright and airy because there were walls of glass. Past the kitchen was a den with a desk and sofa. Off the living room was a small lanai overlooking the pool. The kitchen featured a gas range, full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. It was like a timeshare unit, not a hotel room, as there was tableware, glassware, etc. The only nitpick was the bathroom; it didn't quite measure up to the rest of the unit. It was small, with a full-sized glass-enclosed tub, a Toto (but without the washlet) toilet, and a small vanity and shelf unit opposite the vanity. It was totally functional, but I wished the tub had a shower wand, not just the rain head. If I could, I'd want this room moved to Hawaii to become my residence. The front desk staff were personable and friendly. The exercise facilities were fine. The L'Orangerie restaurant is located on the 5th floor ... more on that in a separate review. All told, I found the L'Hermitage to be perfect for me and will now be my hotel of choice when in Vancouver.

My favorite amenities--clothing steamer and hot water kettle--were promptly delivered. What's better than tea and wrinkle-free clothes? The room was quiet and afforded me uninterrupted sleep. The lighting at the desk caused my colleagues to compliment my visage on video conference calls. The location was an easy walk to everywhere I needed to go in Vancouver. L'Orangerie, the dining room and lounge on the fifth floor, was a lovely place to take tea and lunch. My dining companion and I had the place nearly to ourselves. On my next visit to Vancouver, I hope I'll be lucky enough to stay at L'Hermitage again.

You could also take a car but unless the weather is bad or you have mobility issues, it is just as easy to walk over to the terminal.

When we returned later to check in, we received more cookies. (Insert Cookie Monster meme here.)
