Historic grand hotel
Wow! We loved this hotel. We prefer traditional hotels with 5 star service so this did it for us. It was actually our favorite hotel in a grand tour that included Seattle, Victoria, Whistler, Vancouver, Portland, and back to Seattle. So we stayed twice. The first room was a mini suite with a separate sitting area. The second was a corner room overlooking the Space Needle! Very nice rooms but the best is the lobby. So georgeous! Every time you walk in or out you are awestruck. The personnel was very attentive specially the doorman who was extremely kind to us and even offered us the service of the hotel car which we used two or three times. It all felt very luxurious. The rooms, the breakfast in the magnificent room downstairs, the attention of the staff. That first day we went crazy shopping and they held our packages for two weeks while we came back. Needless to say, everything was in perfect order.
I realize my opnion may be biased because Fairmont is my preferred hotel chain. I have already stayed in 9 of their properties and only wish there were more!
