Downtown luxury boutique hotel is elegant gateway to Robson Street

No luxurious detail has been missed at this gorgeous downtown hotel. Guests here find the finest accommodations, distinctive amenities, and courteous, attentive service in a fantastic location just beyond chic Robson Street. There are few places anywhere lovelier for a cup of coffee than the L'Hermitage Vancouver's terrace garden. And guests wonder how they have lived without the outdoor saltwater lap pool, kept heated to a perfect 15 C.

Highlights
  • Complimentary bike rentals
  • Breakfast on the gorgeous garden terrace
  • Outdoor heated saltwater lap pool

Features

Very nice!

This property is some sort of time-share, but it has a couple floors of hotel rooms which are very nice. The rooms are not overly large, but everything was very clean and appeared to have been recently updated. The hotel is close to the shopping on Robson and Pacific Place. The comp continental breakfast was standard fare, but the wait staff was pleasant and accomodating. Would definitely stay again if the rate was reasonable.

What a hotel should be...

Had a wonderful experience at the Hermitage in Vancouver. The hotel has a special rate for a while in order to celebrate the first year anniversary. It was everything a hotel should be. Nice decor (the hotel in general and the rooms), great value and wonderful service. Only drawback is all the construction that makes it quite noisy in the morning. However, I guess this is to be expected as the Olympics are approaching

Our stay at L'Hermitage

The hotel was beautiful and the entire staff treated us like royalty. The concierge's recommendations were always on point. We were personally greeted (by name) every day. The accommodations were exceptional - washer and dryer in the room was an added bonus for us. We didn't want to leave. the entire staff should be commended for making this such a great experience for my family.

the concierge's recommendations were great. Shukaru Japanese restaurant - just a short walk - was great. I recommned taking the Canada line to Kirin, authentic chinese food. Also close by was Yaletown, with great cafes and Urban Fare supermarket had a great cafe for breakfast or a chic snack.

Wonderful rooms and service

Rooms were very clean and tidy. There were many friendly, smiling, staff members around at all times. This is a great location to stay in after the RSVP bicycle ride from Seattle to Vancouver. There are many restaurant bar choices to chose from nearby.

First class hotel close to Roger's Arena

We picked this hotel for an overnight stay after Michael Buble's concert at Roger's Arena. Rooms were elegantly decorated, secure, clean and functional. Walking distance to great dining and shopping as well as the concert venue. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The concierge helped us pick a restaurant for a wonderful pre-show dinner (Glowbal Grill and Satay Bar), made the reseverations and let them know we needed to make the show. We didn't use the pool but there were many people in it while we were eating breakfast on Saturday morning. There isn't a restaurant in the hotel but they provide a breakfast buffet in a lounge area for $15 pp. Probably would find a restaurant for breakfast next time. Otherwise, everything was top notch and we will definately stay again next time we go to Vancouver!

Time-saving tip: Not Applicable

There is a free trolley from Yaletown's restaurant row to Roger's Arena. We walked to dinner from the hotel and then took the trolley to the concert. Took the worry and time crunch out of getting to the concert on time. Get the free tickets for the ride at the Yaletown Brewing Company on Mainland Street.

Fantastic Hotel

We stayed at this hotel for our first visit to Vancouver and a special occasion. Raymond the Concierge was fantastic to work with and exceptionally helpful. He got great dinner reservations and made sure all the special touches were in place for our visit. Hotel was in a good location and felt we could walk to most anything we wanted to do. This hotel will be the only place we stay in Vancouver!

THIS PLACE SETS THE BAR

One word describes this establishment,"IMPECCABLE". After 30 years of traveling with my wife, this place tops them all for the price. The only thing they needed is an in-house restaurant (which was under construction when we were there). However, there are plenty of dining spots in the immediate area along with a full IGA grocery downstairs. It's also very close to public transportaion and shopping. If we ever get to Vancouver again, we will look no further for accomodations. A very impressive hotel.

City break

Excellent location for exploring downtown Vancouver. We were able to walk to all the sites we were interested in. Restaurant attached to the hotel was fantastic; excellent food, wine and service! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and a large designer bathroom. Really felt pampered.

Delightful

Conveniently located to shopping, galleries, clubs, and restaurants, the hotel was a spectacular choice for us. Clean, well-appointed facility; charming room; friendly and helpful staff. The linens were fresh; the bathroom was spacious and well designed. We will definitely choose this hotel again for any future visits to Vancouver.

Great Hotel, Location, and Staff

“Great Room, Staff, Location, and Dog” Oct 24, 2011 sfjonathan We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was right off of Robson and walking distance to pretty much anything else we wanted. The front desk, bellmen, everyone, was always courteous, helpful, and professional. The bed was comfy and room was large enough to have a sitting area. The outdoor pool was heated so it wasn't too bad to get in even if it was only 50F outside. The hot tub was also a welcome way to relax. We loved Hippo, the dog concierge. He did help show us to a lounge as our room was getting ready. That was a nice touch. I could keep gushing but I think it's pretty clear by mine and the other reviews: stay here if you're going to be in Vancouver/
