Review: Fairmont Vancouver Airport | Prince of Travel

After flying back from Chicago, I arrived in Vancouver a bit too late to make a same-day flight back to my home on Vancouver Island. I’ve stayed at many airport hotels in Vancouver before, and usually stick to the most affordable option, or head into the city to visit with friends.

On this occasion, I was exhausted from a few weeks of whirlwind travel, and felt a bit under the weather, too.

For this stay, I decided to opt for convenience by staying at the in-terminal Fairmont Vancouver Airport. 

Fairmont Vancouver Airport – Booking

I booked this stay using an industry rate; however, cash rates at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport tend to run around $500–650 (CAD).

If you book through Accor Live Limitless, the prices tend to be a little more favourable, with peak dates coming in at just under $600 (CAD) and off-peak dates coming in at around the $450 (CAD) mark.

When planning out a stay at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport, be sure to price shop between booking directly with the hotel, or booking through the Accor Live Limitless loyalty program.

If you’re looking to book at a lower rate, Fairmont often offers chain-wide or property-specific promotions, such as Second-, Third-, or Fourth-night free deals. Additionally, you can keep an eye out for Fairmont’s occasional discounted gift card sales, as well as Amex Offers at Fairmont properties.

Consider using a fixed-value points currency, such as Scene+, TD Rewards, HSBC Rewards, or CIBC Aventura, to offset the cost of your stay.

If you’d like to elevate your stay further, booking through the Accor STEP program entitles you to additional benefits at no extra cost.

Be sure to get in touch with a travel advisor with access to Accor STEP prior to your stay to unlock benefits, such as breakfast for two, room upgrades, early check-in, late checkout, and more.
