History
Fairmont Waterfront opened in 1991 on the Vancouver waterfront adjacent to Canada Place and the cruise ship terminal. The hotel offers panoramic views of Burrard Inlet, the North Shore mountains, and the seaplane terminal. Its rooftop herb garden and beehives produce honey used in the hotel's restaurants and spa, reflecting Fairmont's sustainability programme. The Fairmont Waterfront has been recognized for its environmental stewardship as part of the brand's broader Bee Sustainable initiative.
The setting
Fairmont Waterfront sits on Vancouver's harbourfront at 900 Canada Place Way in Coal Harbour, with around seventy percent of rooms overlooking Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains. The property is connected to the Canada Place Cruise Ship Terminal — five minutes along the boardwalk — and faces the Waterfront SkyTrain and SeaBus station. The Vancouver Art Gallery is twelve minutes on foot, historic Gastown's cobblestone streets are a similar stroll east, and the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden is sixteen minutes away. The hotel's rooftop herb garden, honeybee apiary, and ARC restaurant embody the West Coast farm-to-table spirit from one of Canada's most scenically dramatic urban waterfronts.
