Fairmont Vancouver Airport
49°12′ N 123°11′ WHotel
Fairmont Vancouver Airport suits travellers with an early flight or a long layover who want to sleep inside YVR, and the trade-off is distance from the city, because downtown Vancouver sits about 25 minutes away on the Canada Line by the hotel's figure.

Fairmont Vancouver Airport
The hotel sits above the US departures hall inside Vancouver International Airport, and the Canada Line station is across from it. The rooms are soundproofed, and the views run over the runways toward the North Shore mountains. Deluxe rooms on floors 10 to 13 come with a guaranteed 10 am check-in. Standard check-in is at 3 pm and check-out at noon.
Registered guests use the Health Club free. It pairs an indoor pool and whirlpool with a children's wading pool and separate dry saunas for men and women. Globe@YVR is the hotel's restaurant, and Jetside Bar pours cocktails. Self-parking in the YVR Terminal Parkade costs registered guests $55 a night with taxes included.
Coming off an international flight, ride the elevator up to Level 3 and turn right toward USA Departures. The hotel's entrance is on the right as you walk through that hall. Lobby kiosks check you in for Air Canada, WestJet and nine other airlines. Day-use rooms for up to eight hours run between 8 am and 7 pm, and you book them by phone on 1-866-540-4441.
The Musqueam Nation counts YVR as part of xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) territory, and its Sea Island IR 3 lies beside the airport. Its own pages say Musqueam's ancestors have stewarded the Fraser River estuary for thousands of years.
Highlights
