Empire Landmark Hotel And Conference Center

Great view and location

I was on the 31st floor with view (with balcony)of Stanley Park and English Bay, and the price was reasonable. I had no quibbles with the service or cleanliness of the room. However, the soundproofing needs to be improved. I could hear toilets flushing, showers, water running and other "activities" in adjoining rooms. The other complaint is with their depisit requirements. Even though I already paid for the room, they still wanted a $100 (Canadian) deposit for the room, which was authorized on my VISA. They didn't tell me they were doing it. I looked through the papers I was signing and tried asking the desk clerk to see if their was going to be some kind of deposit requirement, but I did not see anything. I found out the next day when I called my bank to check on my balance. I know many hotels reuirement such deposits. I just want to know upfront and how much so I can plan for it. Beware. Otherwise, I enjoyed the exprience, the location is great, and I would recommend it (with the reservations listed above).

Great Room

We wanted to stay close to all the places we wanted to visit. It was a bit far from Gas town and canada place. However, the hotel room and the price was great so I didnt mind walking a little more. Its a little old, the sink tap in the bathroom soaked my shirt everytime i turned it on :). But over all not bad for the price and location, i would stay here again.

Convenient to downtown and West End

This hotel offers a great view of the Sound, Stanley Park, and downtown Vancouver. It is also reasonably comfortable for the price.

Great hotel for the money we paid

When I booked this hotel, I was not sure what to expect. I didn't want to spend for couple of nights too much and for me is always important the location. It is not a 5* hotel, but price, location and room was really good. If you want to find something simple in the nice location - this would be great choice. me and my boyfriend Both liked this place! If I could find somethig like that in each town we stayed - it would be just amazing!

Good Location but not very comfortable

The hotel location is really good. Directly at Robson Street in Downtown Vancouver and also close to Stanley Park. The view from one of the upper floors is also great. But still the hotel did not meet our expectations. It's quite old and the rooms would need some renovation to get them up to date. The breakfast in the (nice) restaurant on the top floor was also nothing special. If we wouldn't have got coupons for that we would have gone there. Considering what we had to pay for our rooms the hotel didn't meet our expectations. All in all: Next time we would choose another hotel.

Great Choice

This hotel was very nice. It is older but it looked good, it was clean and comfortable. The views are amazing and the best view of all is the revolving restaurant on the top floor. The hotel staff were very helpful with everything we needed to find in the city. I would definately stay here again.

Outstanding Hotel

Beautiful place, pet friendly, our dogs loved it there. Staff is wonderful and close to shops, food and Stanley Park - great location.

Nice location

The location was a bit further to Granville than I expected but there was definitely plenty to do on Robson. It's also a great central location if you are driving and want to hit the tourist attractions in Stanely Park and on Grouse Mountain. The hotel itself is pretty typical, nothing out of this world, but it works. The views on the other hand are worth the extra couple dollars. Paying the extra for parking at the hotel was definitely worth it.

Hidden Costs

The location of the hotel is excellent, however they are not up front about additional costs such as 10 dollars a day for a parking pass and 14 dollars a day for access to the wireless internet "provided" by the hotel. The building is also a little dated but the room was comfortable.

Great Location!

This was my 2nd time at this hotel - June 2003 and August 2009. Stayed on the 23rd floor and had a fantastic view of Vancouver. We were given a $10. voucher each to offset the prices in the Cloud 9 restaurant, but since we are not big breakfast eaters, we preferred to eat outside the hotel. There are numerous places to eat within walking distance. Go out of the hotel and turn right to get the most restaurants -- many reasonably priced. The hotel is within walking distance of Stanley Park. Once there, take the $2.00 hop on & off trolley. To get to Grouse Mountain cheaply, there is a free shuttle a few blocks from Empire Landmark to Capilano Bridge, then take the public bus to Grouse Mt. A short taxi ride took us to Canada Place to begin our Alaskan cruise. Hotel is slowly being updated. No free wireless internet - a disappointment.

no frills but great view

Amazing view. Rooms were a bit dated. Revolving restaurant at top floor worth visiting. Great location. City tour bus stop is right outside. Price could have been a bit cheaper.
