We disembarked a cruise ship in Vancouver, and our flight home from YVR was the next morning at 6am. (That's a 2am wake-up!) The Fairmont Vancouver Airport allowed us to check in at 9am, into a large clean modern room with a comfortable bed and very nice bathroom toiletries. And, only an escalator ride to arrive at the airport! Every staff person was pleasant and helpful, from check-in, to the bartenders, to the housekeeper who helped us open our door and get our luggage in. The hardest-working member of your team was the front doorman. He helped arriving parties to unload luggage and move it inside. He gave me a water when I had been sitting just outside on a warm sunny day. He always had a genuine smile. I picked this hotel for the convenience of the location and early check-in allowance. But it was the staff who made this stay really memorable. This was probably the very best hotel stay I have ever had. I cannot recommend this property enough! Absolutely worth the expense. It was a highlight of our Alaskan cruise vacation.

I had a flight arriving very late at night and it was so handy to be able to just walk straight into my hotel after picking up my bags. The staff were friendly and because I arrived so late, and my next flight wasn’t until the following evening, they extended my checkout time to 1 pm. My room was on the 13th floor. It was so beautiful and comfortable. It was very roomy and it had a bath as well as a shower… which I took full advantage of. The bed was giant and so extremely comfortable. The room was soundproof, yet I could watch planes taking off from my window. I loved it!

I recently stayed at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport and had an exceptional experience. The location is incredibly convenient, just a few minutes’ walk from the departure area, making it the perfect choice for travelers. From the moment I arrived, the hotel delivered a true luxury 5-star experience. The room was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed with excellent amenities. One of the highlights of my stay was the direct runway view from my room, which was absolutely amazing and made for a unique experience. The room service was fast, efficient, and professional, and every interaction with the staff reflected the high standards of the hotel. Everything from check-in to check-out was seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Fairmont Vancouver Airport to anyone looking for convenience, comfort, and luxury while traveling through Vancouver. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip.

We ended a cruise and had a late evening flight out of Vancouver. We needed somewhere to stay for a few hours and rest and rearrange suitcases before flying out. I looked at Vancouver places that would hold luggage hourly but tbh i just wanted to grab food and rest. We called the Fairmont Vancouver Airport as we read they offer hourly rates- you can book a room for 4, 6, or 8 hrs and the prices were reasonable. We stayed for 6hr but at check in they offered a longer 8h if we needed. The front desk staff were extremely nice and friendly and helpful. The room was very nice and quiet; everything was in good condition and there was plenty of space. The bathroom had a good shower although the water pressure is lower (but it was totally fine). The bed was comfortable- so much so we were like can we buy one? The best feature is you are right at the airport and can easily walk through the pre-security part of the terminal and there are plenty of food/coffee options. We used order ahead for Tim Hortons but there was so many options to choose from i wish i could have tried some other ones. Def would use the Fairmont again in Vancouver.

We were traveling with our daughter who had just undergone a major back surgery in Vancouver and needed to get her to Edmonton where we live to recover. This was an extremely challenging day for our daughter. The Fairmont at YVR offered us a place to decompress for one night after being in the hospital then make our way to Edmonton. I cannot say enough about the staff who all contributed generously and kindly to assisting us during a very difficult time. I love staying at the Fairmont YVR! Its very clean, convenient, comfortable and the service is second to none! It will always be our go to when travelling out of YVR! I could go there just for a holiday! I love it so much :)

Conveniently located and rooms were very clean and comfortable. Didn’t have time to try the restaurant as arrived late with early departure but it looked very inviting. Would definitely stay again in the future. Appreciated the help with baggage storage ready on luggage cart for early departure.

On my recent trip to Whistler I stayed at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport twice. The first was when I flew in and a week later the night before my outbound flight. Both stays were fantastic. The room was well appointed, clean, and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was amazing! Oh, and the front desk staff people are just so friendly and accommodating. I'll definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay if your catching a flight the next day. As it at the airport it's less stressful to see where to check and catch your flight. The rooms are bright and spaces.If you can afford the Gold rooms it's well worth the extra cost. Every staff member are helpful in making your stay special.

I have stayed at this property ten times over the past two years, primarily because of its convenient airport location and my frequent early-morning flights. The rooms are comfortable and impressively quiet, and the restaurant offers great food and live entertainment in their lounge. During my most recent stay on January 17, 2025, the check-in experience fell short, largely due to issues related to my Accor loyalty status. When the matter appeared unresolved, I requested the name and email of the General Manager, Rudi Heider, and wrote to him that evening outlining my concerns and frustration. What followed was a true master class in customer service excellence. Mr. Heider asked for time to investigate and respond, conducted a thorough investigation and kept me regularly informed throughout the process. Within a few business days, he provided a detailed and thoughtful response that demonstrated a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. His handling of the situation transformed me from frustrated guest into a loyal patron, all within a few business days. This is a hotel I would have recommended in past because of its proximity to both domestic and international terminals, its comfortable, quiet rooms, and its food and beverage options. Now, however, I can recommend this hotel not only because of these reasons, but because of the hotel’s commitment to resolving issues and delivering outstanding guest satisfaction.

A true 5 Star stay…. With a short 7 hr layover, I needed something convenient and comfortable. If you book in advance you will get a good rate, and it will be worth the stay. I’d encourage you also to make sure you don’t have to depart too early like I did. The hotel is a few minutes walk from arrivals, and easy to access. The bed was a true 10/10, super comfy, and it was hard wanting to sleep in a little with a 4am wake up for an international flight. So I told myself if I made a return trip my stay would need to be longer to really enjoy the stay. The room was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. Staff were helpful and kind. I didn’t get to access all the facilities, but honestly the room was the focus of my stay, and it won’t disappoint. Do yourself a favor and give the YVR Fairmont a try. I’ll be back for sure.
