 | |  |  | Pan Pacific Hotel Vancouver: Great Hotel at the Canada Place
Tip Rating:    Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
The Pan Pacific Hotel has a great location, right atop the magnificent Canada place complex on Vancouver's waterfront. It offers panoramic views of the city, harbour, and the Coastal Mountains. The Canada place is the spacious Vancouver Conference & Exhibition Centre, the World Center office complex, and Vancouver's cruise ship terminal. Just steps away are Vancouver's business district, entertainment, attractions and shopping.
All rooms have a satellite/cable colour television with remote control with in-room movies and CNN. The rooms have an iron and ironing board, high-speed Internet connection, hair dryers, bathrobes, in-room safes, in-room coffee maker and a refrigerated private bar.
Other features include a telephone with in-room voice mail, and individual controlled air conditioning. The marble bathroom and either a king bed or two 6' double beds are available. Leave a Comment

| | | | Pan Pacific Hotel Vancouver: Best Views in Town.
| | | | |
You can’t miss the Pan Pacific hotel. It’s located in the Canada Place convention center that is also the cruise ship terminal. So it’s usually quite crowded…especially in the spring and summer.
We got a corner room, overlooking the harbor and downtown, and the views were incredible. You can feel almost overwhelmed with the size of the lobby here, but we found the service quite personal and friendly.
The room was quite large, the location is great for almost anything you want to do in the Vancouver area; the train station, ferry landing, and float planes are all within walking distance…actually, just about one block away! Also, you are right on the edge of Gastown, with its world famous steam clock (that was built in the 70’s).
The restaurants have some of the best views in the city, and while we didn’t enjoy any meals at them, we sat in the lounge and watched the planes take off and land in the water.
I would definitely recommend this hotel for conventions and especially if you’re taking a cruise.
Oh, another thing...the bathrooms had floor to ceiling windows, in the shower/bath, so you could bathe and watch the views. Nobody can see you though...we checked...and there is a curtain if you're still not sure. Leave a Comment

| | | | Pan Pacific Hotel Vancouver: I wouldnt bother
| | | | |
When we arrived we unpacked our car out the front (it is like pit lane at a F1 race) and went in search of a baggage trolley, loaded up the trolley and our three year old boy and headed inside to check in and find out about parking. We thought the group of guys in uniforms laughing and watching us struggle with our bags were from a tour group or something, but they were actually hotel employees. As we passed them one of them told us that unless we moved our car they would have it towed, and we were slugged for valet parking. ?$30cdn a day?
After our 5 hour drive to get to a $500 a night hotel that wasnt exactly how I expected to be greeted.
The stay and the room were good, but we didn't eat there as the prices are totally outrageous, even for hotel rates, so we went over the road to the really clean, and much cheaper food hall.
Upon checkout, we waited 20 minutes for our baggage trolley to be bought to our room, and then finally carried all our bags out ourselves. We even got a sneer and a smart assed comment from the boy from our check-in who was still propping up the concierge desk at the entry. He was pretty good, we managed to get a sneer from him every time we left the hotel.
We go to Vancouver all the time, but we don't stay at the Pan Pac, there are too many other cheaper choices with the same view, and you dont get the attitude from the staff.
Entry staff were totally unhelpful, and went out of their way to make things difficult. The rest did their jobs as expected.
The view was good, but theyare the same from all the hotels on the waterfront.
Excellent access to the food hall across the road.
The best thing about the hotel was the view of it in the rear vision mirror as we left.
It was an education. Leave a Comment
