The Fairmont Pac Rim is one of the very best hotels I've stayed at, in Vancouver or anywhere really. The lobby lounge sushi bar is so good, as is the Nordic Spa, the Botanist and many other facilities within the hotel. It is definitely one of the more luxurious hotels I've experienced, but also strikes a balance between casual and formal in its restaurants, lobby and general environment that is really unique. All of the staff are amazing as well.
