Looking to align your chakras with the tide? Downtown Vancouver’s Fairmont Waterfront is inviting both locals and travelers to experience a new era of wellness—one infused with coastal calm, elevated movement, and just the right amount of indulgence. With sweeping harbour views and direct access to the city’s lush outdoor playgrounds, the hotel is leaning all the way into its West Coast roots to offer a lineup of summer and year-round programming that feeds the body, soothes the soul, and satisfies the appetite.
Starting in June and running through August, Friday mornings are getting a serene upgrade with poolside yoga and meditation guided by wellness expert Tianne Allan. With the North Shore Mountains as your backdrop and the gentle hum of the city below, it’s a peaceful way to ease into the weekend. These sessions are complimentary for hotel guests, but locals will want to keep an eye out for select community dates.
For a full sensory reset, the new Soothe & Savour series (launching June 8) blends restorative yoga and sound baths with the ultimate reward: ARC Restaurant’s bottomless brunch. Open to hotel guests and the public, this Sunday morning ritual offers the perfect marriage of mindful movement and indulgent dining—because wellness can (and should) taste delicious.
Adventurers, take note: the hotel’s first-ever Board & Brunch experience sets off through English Bay under the guidance of Chief Paddle Officer Tobias Clare. Whether you’re a SUP pro or a curious first-timer, this scenic paddleboarding session offers unmatched views—and perhaps a seal sighting or two—followed again by that brunch you’re definitely going to earn.
Even winter’s getting the wellness treatment, thanks to the Polar Plunge experience. Brave the chill of Third Beach in Stanley Park with Chill Experience Officer Jodi Francks, then thaw out with hot tea, cozy towels, a hot toddy, and (you guessed it) bottomless brunch back at the hotel.
Year-round, Fairmont Waterfront guests and ALL members can take advantage of complimentary fitness wear via the Fairmont Fit program, bi-weekly guided runs along the seawall, access to the heated rooftop pool, and free cruiser bikes for exploring the surrounding waterfront in style.
In short: if you’re looking for a holistic retreat without leaving the city, Fairmont Waterfront is officially your wellness HQ. Salt air included. —Noa Nichol
