Fodor's Expert Review Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront

Formerly the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel, the Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront combines a fantastic location between the downtown business district and Stanley Park with comfortable rooms, great views, and all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay, whether you're visiting for business, pleasure, or a little bit of both.

room

The rooms at the Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront are generic but comfortable, with plenty of space and natural light. While the decor feels a bit dated (particularly the striped carpet), it's nothing off-putting—and the views of the harbour more than make up for it.

Want more space? Update to a one-bedroom suite, which features separate living and sleeping spaces.

bathroom

Like the rooms, the bathrooms feel a bit generic, but they're definitely larger than your typical hotel bathroom.

YOU SHOULD KNOW The lighting in the bathrooms, particularly in the standard guestrooms, can be a little dim.

lobby

The lobby at the Pinnacle Hote Harbourfront is open, airy, and spacious and features a lounge area that's a great place to sit down and relax before you head out to explore the city or grab a meal.

Ask the front desk to borrow one of the property's bikes (it's free!) to explore the city on two wheels.

pool

The pool and hot tub at the Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront are both open 24/7.

gym

The fitness center at this hotel is open 24 hours a day and has everything you need to get a solid workout in, from free weights to cardio machines (although the machines could definitely use an update).

dining

Start your day at P2B Bistro, where you can either order a la carte breakfast staples or splurge for the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. The restaurant serves breakfast from 6:30am to 11am daily.

drinking

Stop by P2B every day from 2pm to 6pm for happy hour specials on beer, wine, and cocktails.
