Bright citrus colors, abstract art, and geometric patterns create a high-energy South Beach look at this chic Robson Street hotel. The cheerful decor extends to the spacious guest rooms and suites, where big balconies and wall-to-wall windows keep things light and airy and, on the higher floors, bri...

Walk into the Pacific Palisades lobby and you know right away that this is not just another standard-issue hotel. The designer's theme throughout this Kimpton Group property was South Park (Florida, not the TV series) meets Stanley Park. Sherbet yellows and apple greens with pastel-colored fabrics, ...

Needs a major update - user review
I stayed in the king suite. Dated furnishings, a worn out bathroom with yellow grout, and poor temperature control over the shower water pretty much sums up this hotel. The street noise on the weekends from Robson Street is horrific. Service is poor. No one is available to replace the beverages in t...

Great Place to Stay in Vancouver - user review
I thought this place was great I stayed in a room that was more of an apartment vs. a hotel room: livingroom, kitchen/dining room, and bedroom. Very clean and nicely decorated. The exterior of the hotel isn't anything to write home about, but don't judge a book by its cover. The inside does show a b...

My 4th visit and I was really disappointed - user review
I usually stay at this hotel because they allow pets. The service on this stay was very lacking. 1 room service forgot to clean our room 2 front desk forgot to make my dinner reservation This hotel is listed as a 4 star hotel, but certainly isn't. It's more like a 3 star hotel. The interior needs to...

A gem in the midst of Robson St - user review
I've been going to Vancouver from Seattle for 20 years & I thought I'd stayed at most of the hotels on this street. Nope, this was the last one and what a gem it was. The room was large, the decor was refreshingly hip not overbearingly too much , and the locati...

A whimsical charmer in downtown Vancouver - user review

Just Plain Ordinary - user review
My husband and I stayed here last year for our first night in Vancouver, before we headed over to Vancouver Island. Everything was so so. The newly redone rooms already looked like they had some wear and tear. The room was pretty small. Also, when I was trying to walk inside the hotel initially, one...

beaten up kimpton - user review
This has to be the worst hotel in the entire Kimpton chain. The rooms are sparsely decorated and beaten up, having a college dorm feel about them. There was plenty of noise and no curtains. This place needs a major renovation or should be torn down and built again like a normal Kimpton. Valet parkin...

Size matters. - user review
We really liked our suite, because there were two distinct rooms, and the living room/kitchen area was enormous. The balcony was also larger than average. We were on the Robson Street side and we had a great view across the West End to the bay. The bed was comfortable, we didn't notice any tattered ...

I would not rate this as a 4star hotel. The hotel walls were very shabby, scratched & in bad need of painting. The staff was great. The room was good sized but not the cleanest.

The Pacific Palisades hotel is located in the hip area of Robson in downtown Vancouver.
