Foodie Experiences
Chef Hector Laguna's plant-draped Coal Harbour room, where the world-ranked cocktails alone justify the good shirt.
Botanist is the Fairmont Pacific Rim's flagship, which is just a polished way of saying it's the most impressive room in a building full of impressive rooms, staring out at Coal Harbour like it's been doing it for years and isn't even sorry. Chef Hector Laguna's West Coast cooking is seasonal and quietly thrilling, and the cocktail program has been ranked among the world's best, so order boldly and pretend you always knew what you were pointing at. Start at the marble bar, do the full multi-course route, and decline to treat any of this as a preamble. It is the evening. Yes, it's a splurge. Book weeks ahead, dress properly, and decide now that you're the kind of person who does this sort of thing. You can decide you're not after dessert.
