xlxo Posted September 20, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The Pan Pacific is above the cruise terminal. The Fairmont Waterfront is across the street. Elevator down from the lobby to the cruise terminal is a Pan Pacific feature Most will prefer the Pan Pacific as they can cheer the ship arriving at their feet below in the morning Some have reported difficulties in getting rooms at the the Panny on their preferred dates. Fairmont Waterfront will have better availability both hotels are premium priced, especially if you plan to stay for multiple nights. There is significant savings if you are willing to walk a few blocks. both hotels offer luggage transfer services to the ship. While popular, I don't use the service as I've heard they can accidentally bulk transfer your luggage to the WRONG ship. Fairmont Waterfront is pet friendlyhttp://www.fairmont.com/waterfront-vancouver/promotions/pet-friendly-hotel/ Fairmont Waterfront offers a Mr. Grey experiencehttp://www.fairmont.com/waterfront-vancouver/press-room/champagne-and-chantilly-lace/ there's also two blocks away is the Fairmont Pacific Rim (yeah the name is confusing). Bella Gelateria is the highlight there. Some like the hotel for Hertz car rentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHappyGal Posted December 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The Pan Pacific Hotel is my favorite hotel to stay in -- yes I am a local who has stayed at many of our downtown hotels ... Great location - Great rooms - Great views - Great service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted December 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 9, 2015 We treated ourselves and stayed at the Fairmont Waterfront before our Alaska cruise in May. It was phenomenal. I cannot tell you how gorgeous the room was, the friendliness and efficiency of the staff, and yes we paid extra for the water view and saw our ship come in that morning. It was less expensive than the Pan Pacific, but I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either hotel. :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2015 They are both terrific hotels. I would go with either one and you will be very pleased. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
