HOTEL REVIEW   

PACIFIC PALISADES HOTEL - VANCOUVER
1277 Robson Street

There is something very comforting and home-like about the Pacific Palisades, even though it doesn’t resemble home at all. Instead, it’s filled with lively colors splashed across the walls, with South Beach inspired decor. And there are even balconies, which are very nice to sit on at night when the city begins to sparkle.

Rooms are specious and there are many affordable suites to be found. These also feature a kitchenette and a mini-bar that for the first time doesn’t make you feel like someone’s reaching into your pockets and stealing all your cash. A bag of morning cereal, is only $1. If more hotels offered reasonably priced mini-bar,  not only would they sell more product, but they would also make their guests very happy.

And this is what the Pacific Palisades seems to care about – guest satisfaction.  This is not a luxury hotel, but a very hip, cozy hotel where the staff are very welcoming and will go out of their way, whether you’re a guest or just a visitor.

It’s no wonder that many film productions host their out of town crew and talent for extended stays at the Pacific Palisades.

Should you get thirsty for a drink at the bar or a craving for a snack, the hotel’s Zin Lounge is happy to oblige. It’s not particularly full on most nights, but that’s not entirely a bad thing. It’s worth stopping by for a drink or a snack, though for meals there are much better options nearby. Nonetheless, it’s actually a very neat spot and it’s surprising that it’s not more popular than it is. For breakfast, try the authentic French crepes across the street.

Situated on Robson Street, the Pacific Palisades Hotel is convenient to shopping, dining and for exploring the Downtown core. On top of that, the hotel is dog friendly – so you don’t have to leave your pooch at home. And at prices starting at just $140 (deals can be found for even less), it’s a great value.

Definitely one of the best hotels in Vancouver.
