Summary

This spot in Vancouver was just ranked as the second best hotel in Canada for 2025

In the mood for a staycation?

If you're planning a trip to Vancouver or just craving a luxe staycation, you might want to check into the Fairmont Pacific Rim —because according to a new ranking, it's officially one of the best hotels in the country!

US News just released its 2025 rankings, highlighting the most incredible stays across the country. To land a spot on this list, hotels need to meet high standards, including high ratings and a minimum of 20 reviews across various sources. From there, rankings are determined based on a mix of factors like awards, hotel class, and guest reviews — and the Fairmont Pacific Rim secured the second highest spot in Canada.

Nestled in downtown Vancouver, this hotel perfectly captures the city’s signature mix of urban sophistication and breathtaking nature. Surrounded by ocean and mountains, the views from the rooms are nothing short of jaw-dropping.

But the experience doesn't stop at the scenery. This stay is packed with indulgent features, from a world-class spa to top-tier dining and cocktails.

Speaking of cocktails, you can't visit without stopping by the Botanist — an award-winning hotspot known for its innovative drinks and lush, garden-like aesthetic.

And if unwinding is on the agenda, the spa here is an absolute dream. There's a sauna, jacuzzi, steam rooms, and a gorgeous outdoor terrace with fire pits — basically, the ultimate relaxation zone.

With its location near Stanley Park, you can easily explore Vancouver's stunning natural beauty while still enjoying all the perks of a luxurious city stay. If you're looking for a place to feel pampered in Vancouver, this is it!
