Fairmont Waterfront has unveiled their 2025 Holiday Gift Guide, a curated collection of experiences that celebrate dining, relaxation, and connection in the heart of Vancouver. Designed for those who value memorable moments over material gifts, the guide blends culinary indulgence with wellness and adventure.
At ARC Restaurant, Bottomless Brunch remains one of Vancouver’s most popular dining experiences. Priced at $69 per person, it features dishes such as smoked salmon rösti, pulled pork Benedict, and the ooey gooey skillet, served every weekend throughout the year. Guests can gift the experience through an ARC Restaurant Gift Card, which allows recipients to enjoy coastal cuisine and handcrafted cocktails inspired by the West Coast’s seasonal bounty.
For those seeking rest and renewal, the Winter Staycation – Residents Offer invites residents of B.C., Alberta, Yukon, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska to enjoy 15 percent off the best available rate, complimentary self-parking, and late checkout at Fairmont Waterfront. Members of the ALL loyalty program receive an additional discount, making it an ideal getaway for couples or friends seeking a change of pace close to home.
Adventure seekers can embrace Vancouver’s coastal chill with the Polar Plunge Experience, a guided outing to Third Beach in Stanley Park led by the hotel’s CEO (Chill Experience Officer), Jodi Francks. Priced at $179 per person, the morning includes a cold dip, warm beverages, and access to ARC’s Bottomless Brunch and Health Club amenities.
The Candlelit Soundscapes & Supper series combines relaxation with gourmet dining. Guests begin with an hour-long sound bath and yin yoga session by candlelight, followed by a chef-prepared meal at ARC Restaurant. Each evening, offered through February and March, is designed to bring calm and balance through sound, movement, and food.
Those who enjoy nightlife can experience ARC After Dark: Silent Disco Edition in January. The $139 ticket includes a curated menu and cocktails alongside a silent disco with three music channels—today’s hits, disco classics, and R&B—creating a lively evening in ARC’s social setting.
Looking ahead to summer 2026, the Garden Dinner Series will return for another season of alfresco dining among the hotel’s rooftop garden. Guests can savour a multi-course meal paired with wines while surrounded by herbs, flowers, and the gentle buzz of honeybees.
Guests staying at Fairmont Waterfront can purchase the exclusive Waterfront Gin, crafted from botanicals grown on the hotel’s rooftop garden. The bottle serves as a keepsake or a thoughtful gift for any cocktail enthusiast.
This year’s collection invites gift givers to share experiences that nourish connection, creativity, and a sense of place. Whether for a local resident or a visiting traveller, Fairmont Waterfront’s Holiday Gift Guide reflects the spirit of giving through memorable experiences in Vancouver.
