We spent 2 nights at l'Hermitage and enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff, nice room and large bathroom. We also had a small balcony with table/chair. They provide loaner umbrellas and also bicycles. (Didn't use the bikes as we walked to Stanley Park, BCPlace Stadium and restaurants.) We also used the outdoor spa and lap pool and checked out the nice workout room. The Vancouver Art Gallery and trendy shopping are both within easy walking distance. Hotel restaurant is a bit pricey considering it's not a linen tablecloth space, but the food was good. Variety of restaurants nearby as well as an IGA grocery store and Starbucks. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed in this hotel per and post our Whistler ski trip. After comparing many hotels and reviews I picked this one and was not disappointed!

The location is fantastic. We walked to Gastown, Yale town, and even rented bikes and rode around Stanley park and Granville Island.

The Quattro restaraunt downstairs is fantastic and it is an easy walk to loads of local spots- I recommend Cafe Medina on Beatty st for breakfast but get there early on the weekend and also Flying Pig in Yaletown. The Lennox Pub on Robson St is great for a beer and cheap eats.

The best thing about L'Hermitage is by far the service. The staff were friendly, helpful and full of information. On our first stay they gave us a free upgrade, allowed us to check in early as our flight arrived early am - and they have an excellent lounge which we used while waiting for our Whistler transfer.

On our second stay which was three nights we recommended friends to stay at the same hotel and their feedback was excellent too. The petite rooms are actually quite large. Service was again fantastic and on finding out that our flight didn't leave until nearly midnight we asked for late checkout. Even though the hotel was booked out after just a short while they had worked a miracle and arranged for us have our room as long as we needed.

In short I would whole heartedly recommend L'Hermitage. My only disappointment was that I didn't get to meet Hippo. I guess that means that I'll have to go back.

Great spot, friendliest staff I have ever encountered. rooms
are beautiful and clean. will defenetly be back. this hotel lives
up to expectations . only disappointed was that hippo wasnt there for the duration of our stay/

Every aspect of L'Hermitage is exemplary. The 15m outdoor lappool is warm enough to swim in on Feb 5 at 0630. The rooms are a remarkable value--I came with my son and his girl on the way to ski at Whistler. We could have stayed in Vancouver! Hooded gas stove (Braun), cappuccino machine, Sub-Zero fridge, even the cutlery was to die for. Raymond the concierge is enthusiastic about his job and made us a last minute reservation at a hard-to-get restaurant. Breakfast in L'Orangerie was great, and every person was both friendly and efficient. It is in the shadow of the Westin, but I've been in Westins. It's also just 4 blocks and an easy walk from BC Place stadium. One more thing, I slept like a baby on the sofa bed, it didn't have that bar jabbing into your back that usually makes them a pain.
