My husband and I just returned from a well over due vacation. This vacation was acutally suppose to be our Paris trip ( for my 40th birthday but I decided to do Vancouver and have a Big Four - Ohhhh shin-dig with about 100 guess), we decided to explore beautiful Vancouver! It was without a doubt a lovely time. The... more

We typically try to stay at Kimpton hotels. They may not be the most "luxurious" hotels or have the most updated interiors, but we can always count on the service to be excellent and to feel welcome when we arrive. Plus, I really appreciate what they are trying to accomplish by taking older properties and breathing some life back into... more

My daughter and I stayed three nights at the Pacific Palisades Hotel. We had a 1BR suite on the 14th floor, which had a balcony overlooking Robson St with nice city and distant water views. It was spacious with a sofa bed in the living room, TV armoire, chair, desk, dining table, and kitchenette. The furnishings and the room in... more

Staying here depends on your needs. If you want to be close to shopping and restaurants this is a good choice. The property used to be a condominum, so the king suites are very spacious--the room included a living and dining area with a sink and counter...so a good choice for families and extended stays. However, this hotel is really,... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel, and were pleasantly surprised at check-in when we were upgraded to a one b.r. suite. Room decor was modern/asian with a citrus color scheme, which was visually refreshing. Loved the comfy bed after the long trip to Vancouver, and had a great view from our room. This is the first time we... more

We stayed for 5 nights in early June, and since we returned have read some of the reviews. The location is excellent, as are the staff and also some of the added features eg wine reception each evening. The health suite is superb. As mentioned elsewhere, the two buildings are served by two fairly slow lifts which give no indication... more

I traveled to Vancouver for a business trip last week, and thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Pacific Palisades. As it was booked by my work, I have no idea what the cost was, but was very impressed by the hotel. I would say I am a seasoned traveler, and would also have to say that I am not picky... more

First of all, you cannot ask for a better location that the Pacific Palisades location. Located downtown, it is easy walking to a wide variety of restaurants and shopping. And there are two Big Bus pick ups/drop offs nearby. Our room was very nice. We especially enjoyed the kitchenette area. After tiring days spent sightseeing, my husband and I opted... more

Now this hotel is renowed for the celebrities that use to stay there in the 70s and 80s. Staff were great, actually gave us an upgrade to basically a one bedroom on the 19th floor. This type of room would be ideal for families and longer stays. Bedding was heavenly and I loved the toilitries. But unfortunately that is about... more
