Fairmont Pacific Rim, Coal Harbour
More infoBotanist is the Fairmont Pacific Rim's flagship, the most impressive room in a building full of them, staring out at Coal Harbour like it's been doing it for years and isn't sorry. Chef Hector Laguna's West Coast cooking is seasonal and quietly thrilling, and the cocktail program ranks among the world's best, so start at the marble bar and order boldly. It's a splurge, so book weeks ahead and dress properly.
Start with a drink at the marble bar, the cocktail program is genuinely world-ranked, then settle into the airy, plant-draped Fairmont Pacific Rim room for the full multi-course route looking out toward Coal Harbour. This is the main event, not a pre-anything, so dress properly, reserve well ahead, and block a luxurious two-plus hours. It's a splurge that earns it; the seawall and harbour are right outside for a glowing walk after.
