Beautiful wood floors which were impeccably clean as was the entire suite. A small kitchen with fridge, stove, dishwasher (!) and basic dishes, pots, etc. A full ice tray wanting in the freezer portion of the fridge. Yes, it is different from what one would think of as a "hotel", but nowhere in their advertising do they claim to be one. The young man who checked us in was thorough in explaining about the building. Very polite, efficient. Other staff encountered during our stay were also very polite and helpful. I have seen some negative reviews speaking of the check in process, however, I received an email prior to our arrival explaining the process. Yes, if you do not yet have your key card you must wait to be buzzed in ... but I think that is better than letting anyone wander through the building. I felt completely safe and secure here despite being steps away from the busyness of the city. The building is quaint. The elevator is likely the original. It is small, but only once did we have another person join us in it. Some complain about the "dated" decor, but isn't that the point? This is a vintage building in Vancouver's West End. The apartment we were in is NICER than the one we rent at home. Parking underground is a challenge, I wouldn't show up in my F350 dually. BUT the fellow checking us in ASKED what kind of vehicle we had to ensure it was suitable. There are also spaces in the laneway behind the building. I cannot wait to have the occasion to stay here again ... however, very saddened to hear someone is trying to develop the lot into a 29 story behemoth. It will completely destroy the neighbourhood.

The day time staff were really lovely and kind. They stored our bags for a late departure, left very good instructions for a late arrival, no complaints there. The decor is tired and old. We booked two rooms (we were in the Master Suite on the ground floor and the Penthouse, despite booking 8 months in advance and asking to be on the upper floor to be closer to our kids on the top floor), one with A/C, the other without. The one without (Master Suite) was fine the first night, sweltering the remaining two. A standing fan in the room was insufficient and cut out if you went above 2nd speed. Bathroom is one step above a hostel bathroom with a 1970s spigot, no working fan either and the beds were saggy. For what we paid, this hotel really could use some sprucing up. Perhaps the other rooms are better. The master suite was not great. The Penthouse was better. The evening staff person had a 1 1/2 hour personal phone call on speakerphone reverberating throughout the house. We couldn't enjoy the common area at all because of her loud, lengthy conversation. Not the sort of B&B experience we've come to expect. A quibble about the breakfast. You have to pre-order which is totally fine, but the one day when we really needed to leave early, the breakfast didn't come to us for 45 minutes after sitting. It threw off our visit to the suspension bridge, putting us on a bus an hour later than desired and we were stuck with huge crowds. We ended up not even having the breakfast at the hotel the next day as we didn't want to have a repeat...we far preferred our wonderful coffee and breakfast at 49 parallel roasters, which I recommend too. All in all, would we do it again? If you get a spruced up room, perhaps. If you are visiting outside of the hotter times of year, sure. But avoid the master suite and if you have plans that are on the early side, make sure to let them know that you are hoping for an on time breakfast.

I've gotten into the habit of renting an apartment for a few weeks while on vacation and I'm always looking for interesting, comfortable, and livable places to stay and Kitsilano suites fit the bill perfectly and exceeded my expectations. There are four suites of varying size in this lovely restored historic home in the Kitsilano area of Vancouver. We stayed in the smaller upstairs studio, 202. Calling a studio is not giving it enough credit. It has more space than some apartments I've lived in! Everything is thoughtfully arranged and set up for ensure you have everything you need, no matter if you are staying one or two days or a month. The kitchen is better equipped than most homes and you can really cook up a storm in there, or just relax with some great wine, cheese and smoked salmon on the deck/porch out the back of the unit (there are great places within walking distance to buy things to eat in or dine out). Lots of thoughtful touches from the art, to the wifi, to the linens, to the slow closing cabinet doors so when you are cooking up a three course meal in the kitchen at 11:00 PM you won't disturb the other people staying here. Only two things to be aware of, if you have mobility issues you probably will have trouble climbing out of the great claw footed tube and the bed in 202 is low to the ground, but the other units might serve you better. Also, you can usually hear what is going on in the hall/stairs, so you just have to be respectful of the other guests and not go crazy when you come in late. Just ask Mark if you have any concerns. Speaking of Mark, he is the owner, and a great host. Very helpful and professional from the booking to checking in to making sure we have all we needed, or giving suggestions of things in town. Plus he is just a plain nice guy! I loved staying in his place and he is a great representative of the spirt of Vancouver. This was a perfect area of town to stay in as well. Quiet and homey but with plenty to do on 4th or on Broadway, just short walks away. We walked to many places in Vancouver, as there are tons of things to do in a 3-4 mile radius. Heck, downtown is only a 40 minute walk away! And if you are not a walker, the bus system in Vancouver is great and easy. There are a number of buses that stop near the suites that made getting around town a snap. Plus, the airport is only 20 minutes away by taxi (at least at 5:00 am!) so when it is time to leave it is a snap to get there. Next time you are in Vancouver, try Kitsialno Suites instead of a hotel. It will make your trip just that much more comfortable and memorable.

Bed was comfy 2 bedrooms Kitchen - newer and nice Balcony Views Not do good things about it.... 2nd room had no vents for any air, the window inly opened a sliver and it was HOT. When we went to the front they said we will send up 2 cooling units. They brought tiny fans. It was miserable. 1st room was by the elevator and the alarm went off several time. The fire alarm went off one day and we were never told what to do, the phones didn't work in the rooms either. The curtains were held on by velcro and they all fell down but they also covered the 1 vent to add air to the place. Overall for the price (I know it was FIFA) it was WAY too much for the room. Bright side is Vancouver is a treat, I would return but stay elsewhere.

Fairmont Waterfront Vancouver BC July 2026…read more Now that I'm retired and travel alone, I wanted to push the Amtrak limits in a coast-to-coast trip from Washington, D.C.'s Union Station to the Canadian northwest, ending in Jasper, then Banff, and then Calgary. So, I started sniffing around the internet for opportunities on Amtrak, favoring segments in a private sleeping car. For a cross-country trip on Amtrak, I looked at all of the moving parts and decided to respond to the invitation I received after I submitted an inquiry into cross-country Amtrak trips. Those moving parts included figuring out which trains would travel to my intended destinations, identifying hotels that could accommodate me on my way, and booking excursions available to rail passengers along my route. Within an hour of sending my inquiry I got a response from Amtrak Vacations and its representative, Kevin Guadagnoli. Amtrak Vacations is not the same as Amtrak: working with Railbookers, a travel agency that specializes in creating customizable train vacation packages, Amtrak Vacations makes its mark by offering experienced advisors who have direct booking access to rail travel throughout North America (so it includes both U.S. and Canadian rail services). So, I have Kevin and Railbookers (and Amtrak Vacations) to thank for suggesting the Fairmont Waterfront, 900 Canada Place Way, Vancouver, for a two-day stay in July 2026. Kevin had included a 48-hour pass for the hop-on hop-off tour buses that run throughout the day and early evening. My train, Amtrak's Empire Builder from Seattle, arrived at the Pacific Central Station on time at around 10 p.m. I could have walked to the Fairmont (it's about a 30-minute walk) or used the Expo Line from Main Street-Science World (about a 6-minute bus trip). But it was late and I wanted to check in, so I took a taxi ($20 including tip). Both Seattle and Vancouver were hosting FIFA World Cup games, draining the number of hotel rooms to choose from - but Kevin's selection was perfect. The building was clean, quiet, and well-lit, with attentive service and helpful front-desk staff. It's located close to a central-city mall that includes a fast-food food court and pharmacy, and right near where the hop-on hop-off bus has its starting point. For the high rollers the hotel has a Gold room on the 9th floor - didn't check it out; but because I registered with ALL Accor (the chain's loyalty program) my room included premium wi-fi, but breakfast was on me, so I headed to McDonald's for my breakfast egg McMuffin. The room was comfortable, spacious, and had a great view of the city. I spent the two days walking and enjoying waterfront views and scenes from the hop-on hop-off bus. When it came time to check out, I headed to the Pacific Central Station where my train to Jasper would depart in the afternoon. (Note that for travelers departing the station en route to Jasper while you are permitted to check your bag, once you check it with VIA Rail Canada you won't have access to the bag until you reach your destination.) After a light lunch at Fionn MacCool's (a five-minute walk), VIA Rail was ready to get me to my next Canadian destination. The Fairmont Waterfront did a great job for this part of my transcontinental train trip.

Location alone makes it worth looking at since it's right there for embarkation and super easy with luggage. What really stood out was how smooth they made everything around the cruise. Porters took our luggage down for us and we tipped about $20 CAD for 4 bags. We were also able to store our extra luggage, stroller, and leave our car seat at the hotel to pick up after the cruise, which made a huge difference traveling with kids. Customer service was excellent too. I liked that whenever you called, they addressed you by name. Small touch but it made it feel a lot more personal. Pricey hotel for sure. Our pre-cruise stay was around $1,200 something for 2 nights, but we used the Chase Reserve Edith credit for $250 off and there was a double points promo, so I ended up using about 49k points total. Post-cruise was about $526 through Amex Platinum FHR and I used the $300 hotel credit there. Both stays also came with a $100 hotel credit plus free breakfast for 2 each day, which helped a lot with the value. We used the hotel credits and also liked that kids 5 and under eat free at dinner. Expensive, but with the right credits and if you're doing a cruise out of Vancouver, I'd absolutely stay here again.
