Pan Pacific or Wedgewood
 

Which would you choose? A corner Deluxe room with a superb view at the Pan Pacific or a 1 Bdrm suite at the Wedgewood.

The view!

Personally I would choose the Wedgewood for the quaintness and smaller scale of the hotel; it feels like a home in their rooms; the Pan Pacific is a large scale hotel, lovely also but more impersonal; I have stayed at both hotels and they are so different.

In general it's always nice to have a room with a view, but you know - I never spend much time looking out my hotel room window. You can walk down to the water from the Wedgewood in about 10 minutes and enjoy the view that way - I'd take the Wedgewood's warm, friendly atmosphere and delightful surroundings over a large hotel like the Pan Pacific anytime. The one-bedroom suites are huge and well-appointed, and you have all the advantages of being in a small boutique-type hotel with excellent service.

A view room at the Pan Pacific is probably unequaled in any other big city in the world. And if that's a deciding factor choose the PP. But the Wedgewood has a truly wonderful reputation as a botique hotel and is more centrally located so you have to weigh those advantages as well.

I have only stayed in an elegant one bedroom suite at the Wedgewood (which I would not call "huge" - the baths are small but beautiful and perfectly fitted up) and if water view is important to you, it won't do!

But the balcony we had overlooked a lovely city view. We were there last Sept, and we used the balcony a lot.

Vancouver is such a walkable city! The Wedgewood was perfectly located for us, a couple in our 50's. (Clientele all ages, though)

Definitely the Pan Pacific!!!
