Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 2311138, member: 38"] The Pan Pacific was very nice - we stayed at the Fairmont on the return trip and I recommend that as well. The Fairmont has check-in nailed - they send you an email in the morning asking when you want to arrive. Press the button you want and you are checked in. Once you get there, a concierge desk hands you an envelope with your name on it. Keys and such are inside. That is the only time you need to interact with anyone at the hotel. The Pan Pacific has a private check-in for club levels, but it was a little clunky the day we were there. It's no faster than regular check-in, but you get to wait in a much nicer area. Also...if you're traveling alone or if you're a couple and you know you need just one bed, book a room with a good cancellation policy wherever you're going as back up and then haunt Hotels Tonight in the last days before you visit. They cannot guarantee a room type which was a deal breaker for me traveling with the family, but if you knew you needed just one bed, you could have rented a room at the PP for about $650 less than I paid for that weekend. Every luxe hotel in Vancouver - Fairmonts, Trump, Pan Pacific - had rooms on their service on the day we arrived and they were going for hundreds less a night than they were online. [/QUOTE]
