Experience the Magic of the Holidays at the Castle

This holiday season is a time for celebration, reflection, and creating unforgettable memories, and there’s no better place to experience the magic of the season than at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. From sparkling lights to festive feasts, here’s why it’s the perfect destination to immerse yourself in holiday cheer.

A Festive Atmosphere Like No Other

The hotel has been transformed into a holiday wonderland with beautiful lights and classic décor. To celebrate the festive spirit of the Castle in the City’s 85^th anniversary, this year, the lobby features 16, real Noble Fir trees, bringing the elegance of nature into our iconic halls. A sweet addition to the festive season, a giant gingerbread castle stands as centerpiece and is a replica of the hotel itself. The impressive creation (which took two pastry chefs almost three weeks and over 200 hours to complete), comes complete with unique storefronts, surrounding city roads and real lighting. The hotel’s restaurant, Notch8, has been magically transformed into a winter wonderland, filled with twinkling lights and shimmering garlands.

Indulge in Festive Delights

From cozy brunches to indulgent holiday dinners, Notch8 serves up festive menus filled with the flavours of the season. With classic dishes such as turkey with all the trimmings, slow-roasted prime rib, and decadent desserts, you’ll feel the warmth and the joy of the season in every bite.

A Fairmont tradition, this year’s Holiday Chalet Afternoon Tea is truly a magical experience. Enjoy a selection of holiday-inspired teas paired with delicious assortments of sweet and savoury dishes. Inspired by the warmth and charm of an alpine chalet, this festive tea invites you to indulge in a cozy and elegant atmosphere, perfect for making holiday memories.

Don’t forget to try the cocktails at Kringle’s – the ultimate holiday bar pop-up nestled within the lower lobby walls of the hotel. Embrace the spirit of the season as you indulge in festive cocktails expertly crafted by the team of elves making spirits bright.

If you’re looking to escape the everyday and treat yourself to a holiday getaway, the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is the ideal place to stay. Whether you’re curling up by the fireplace in a cozy suite or enjoying stunning city views from your room, you’ll feel the warmth of the season envelop you.
