5 Ways To Have A Great 24-Hour Staycation in Vancouver
Check into a Hotel
Now, to preface – I believe you can have a seriously great staycation regardless of whether you choose to have it at home, or at a hotel, Air B n B, or lodge. But, there’s something so relaxing about getting staying at a hotel. I suppose for me, it’s the concept of getting out of my work space (since I work at home) and out of my usual routine. I love my home, but sometimes when I take “me time” I find myself looking around the house and creating a massive to-do list. Can’t forget to dust, clean the floors, oh and there’s laundry… It kind of ruins the whole “me time” staycation thing I’m trying to go for. The Fairmont Pacific Rim is known for being a beautiful and luxurious hotel. Located in Coal Harbour, the hotel is just a hop and a skip away from the ocean.



Enjoy a little Spa time
Whether you make an appointment at the hotel spa, or simply pack a couple face masks – take some time to just pamper yourself. I brought a few masks so that Jer and I could binge mask using some of my favourite Fresh Beauty Face Masks. It was a great start to our relaxing 24 hour staycation. Also, if your hotel room has a great soaker tub like ours did then I recommend you put on a mask, pour yourself a glass of wine or champagne, and soak while you spa!
Enjoy a Delicious Meal
If you follow me on Instagram then you likely already know that Jer and I LOVE to dine out. We love trying out new restaurants and so when we want to unwind, having a great meal is at the top of our to-do list. Because we stayed at the Fairmont, we decided to head down from our luxe hotel room to their new restaurant, Botanist Dining.
Dinner at Botanist Dining
About a month or so ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to Botanist’s grand opening – so as soon as I found out we’d be dining there again on our staycation I was super excited. I already knew I loved the food, and couldn’t wait to try out more of their menu. Botanist Dining is a unique and luxurious restaurant in the Fairmont Pacific Rim which is decorated in a way that almost appears to be exotic rain-forest meets elegant 1950’s restaurant. The restaurant houses nearly 400 plants, varying from 50 different plant species which include rare fruit bushes, and edible plants such as camellia, cardamom, and ginger.





Take in the City
I love Vancouver. There’s so much to see and do. It’s a beautiful city. But, because I live and work here – sometimes I forget just how much I love it. That’s why whenever I take a little staycation, I like to make some time just to walk around and actually enjoy the city that we’re so lucky to live in. My favourite thing to do is just walk the sea wall. It’s such a gorgeous way to soak up the city.
Do What You Want
There are so many lists sharing places to see, and things to do, but at the end of the day – do what you want. If you don’t feel like walking the city, or having dinner out and instead you want to order room service and soak in the tub all night – DO IT! This is your chance to just do whatever you like so that the next day you wake up feeling refreshed and renewed.
