Towering over Vancouver’s
skyline is the Fairmont Pacific Rim, a five-star skyscraper that adds a touch of luxury to the sophisticated
cityscape. While most appreciate the impressive height of the building — the tallest in Vancouver — an
educated eye will recognize the superior design and vision of architect James K.M. Cheng, the mastermind
behind the Shangri-La Hotels.
The Fairmont Pacific Rim caters to a broad range of visitors with rooms that range in size from 400 to 3,200
square feet, all offering the warm and comfortable settings you’d expect from a Fairmont hotel. Some suites
offer luxurious amenities such as private balconies, terraces and patios that allow guests to feel like
Vancouverites for the duration of their stay. Some terraces even include outdoor fireplaces as an added touch
to keep guests warm during the chilly Canadian winters.
The Chairman’s Suite at
the Fairmont Pacific Rim was built with the vision of excellence in mind. Frequented by celebrities such as
Lifestyle cover favourites Gordon Ramsay, Brad Pitt and Bryan Adams, this suite offers red carpet
treatment to suit the most discriminating tastes.
The two-storey space
covers 2,250 square feet and includes luxurious touches such as a romantic fireplace in the master bedroom,
and an ensuite bathroom designed with beautiful marble features. With two living spaces, and an outdoor patio
overlooking the magnificent Coal Harbour and beautiful Stanley Park, the suite offers the best views in the
city. Boasting space for 60 guests, the outdoor venue offers a luxurious and elegant setting that is perfect
for a private party or wedding. The venue also has the option of an additional guest suite at 400
square feet to accommodate an expansive guest list.
The luxurious rooms are accompanied by Fairmont Gold services and benefits that promise an effortless stay.
Private check-in, exclusive concierge and butler services, a signature lounge located on the 21st
floor featuring daily complimentary breakfast, and evening canapés are only some of the benefits offered to
lucky Fairmont guests.
While it may take some convincing to encourage visitors to leave their suites, the Willow Stream Spa offers
an equally appealing array of services and features. Here, guests are invited to recharge their bodies and
minds with treatments designed to rejuvenate and energize. Services that offer pampering from head to
toe are available for men and women, including facials, peel treatments, body experiences and massage
therapy. For an equally relaxing experience, guests are invited to lounge by the pool, enjoy the sauna and
reflect on their enjoyable stay during one of the fitness centre’s meditative yoga classes.•
