Fairmont Vancouver Airport

Seven days a week, a time-honored tradition with a modern-day twist takes place inside Fairmont Vancouver Airport—a luxury hotel and spa tucked away in the midst of the airport's arrivals and departures. That tradition: afternoon tea. Here, guests indulge in the British culinary custom with treats such as housemade scones, strawberry jam and Devonshire cream, and petite sandwiches layered with smoked BC salmon or black forest ham with brie. Exclusive blends of Fairmont teas steep in hot water, releasing evocative aromas, and bartenders shake up signature tea-based cocktails. Although the tea service is a comfort to travelers, it's open to anyone, regardless of vacation plans or window-seat preference.
