Beyond Room Service: 5 Unique Vancouver Hotel Restaurants to Try
5 Unique Vancouver Hotel Restaurants Beyond Room Service

From elevated surf-and-turf to Michelin-starred kitchens to award-winning chefs, Vancouver's hotel restaurants offer far more than room service. Whether you are after a casual drink and bite, a six-course tasting menu with wine pairings, a cocktail that lights up and emits smoke, or even a toy with your meal, there is a hotel restaurant to match. Here is a partial list.

Five Sails at Fairmont Pan Pacific

Located at 999 Canada Place, Five Sails presents The Altitude, the latest creation from executive chef Alex Kim, winner of the 2025 Canadian Culinary Championship. This spring tasting menu features locally caught seafood, Fraser Valley chicken, beef cheeks and spring lamb. If The Altitude is not your preference, separate table d'hote offerings are similarly local in focus and meticulously composed. Views across Burrard Inlet to the North Shore Mountains enhance the restaurant's quietly elegant atmosphere.

The Victor at Parq

At 39 Smithe Street, next to B.C. Place, Parq Casino is well positioned to welcome visitors in town for a game or major concert. The Victor, on the sixth floor, puts a contemporary spin on the classic surf-and-turf concept, with premium cuts, fresh seafood, and a sushi and raw bar. A Surf & Turf Showcase at $75 per person offers three courses with optional Veuve Clicquot pairings. For the young at heart, the after-office adult happy hour meal, served daily from 5 to 7 p.m., includes a toy alongside a wagyu beef burger and a tiny tini. Parq's other two dining destinations, Honey Salt and D/6 Lounge, will also offer special menus timed to major events.

Hawksworth at Rosewood Hotel Georgia

Since opening on the ground floor of the Rosewood Hotel Georgia at 801 W. Georgia Street in 2011, this centrally located downtown destination has built a following for its burgers, happy hour and the creations from chef David Hawksworth. It also offers a Sunday roast dinner and a three-course weekday lunch for $36. As part of its 15th-anniversary celebrations, the restaurant is featuring a $68 First Seating menu Monday through Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. For the upcoming major sporting event, the beverage teams at Hawksworth and its sister restaurant, Nightingale, have collaborated on a collection of eight original cocktails inspired by the flavors, ingredients and traditions of countries competing in Vancouver this June. Canada's entry is the Maple & Spruce Sour, made with Lot 40 rye, North Vancouver-made Woods Amaro Classico, lemon, maple and bitters.

Botanist at Fairmont Pacific Rim

Named one of Canada's 100 Best and included on the World's 50 Best Discovery list, Botanist at 1038 Canada Place is a restaurant, cocktail bar and a library. The Taschen Library nook is stocked with oversized art books, while the restaurant is now led by executive chef Amanda Healey, whose two decades of experience includes a stint at Australia's acclaimed Oncore by Clare Smyth. A six-course tasting menu is currently on offer, alongside The City Set, a two-course lunch for $49. Adventurous drinkers should not leave without sampling at least one of the bar's mad-scientist cocktails.
