The History of Hotel Vancouver 

One of Canada’s great railway hotels the original Hotel Vancouver was first established in 1887, and a year later, we saw the opening of the Canadian Pacific Hotel. It was replaced in 1912, and again in 1928, which is the version you can see in downtown Vancouver today. 

The building itself took more than 11 years to complete, as a result of a joint partnership between the Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was officially opened in 1939, by none other than King George VI and Queen Elizabeth while on their royal tour in Canada. 

Fun Fact: the Royals also officially opened Lions Gate Bridge on the same trip, which was built by the Guinness family to gain access to their land- what we now call the North Shore!

At the time of its opening, Vancouver was only home to around 2000 people. It was a working-class area, and the Hotel Vancouver once held huge boilers to provide steam power to surrounding downtown buildings. In the mid 20th century Hotel Vancouver also played host to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporations radio stations.

It has since changed hands and management a number of times, from Pacific Railways to Hilton, and has seen a number of renovations both updating, and then restoring the original features and designs of this chateau inspired hotel. Canadian Pacific Hotels acquired Fairmont in 1999 and changed the name and hotel design to the one you see today- the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Whilst Fairmont continues to manage the hotel, however, it’s ownership has more recently changed hands again, sold to Larco Enterprise for a cool $180 million in 2015.
