Hey everyone,

Just booked the Pan Pacific for $124 on Hotwire!!!!!

I think the final total was $151 with tax and fees.

If anyone wants to try to book it, it will be listed as Vancouver East 5-Star with fitness, pool, restaurant, internet, spa, and business center. It also has a 90% Customer Review. (Note that if it says 80% then it is the Sutton instead) Hope this will help some of you out.

Are you sure it's Vancouver East and not West?

Does anyone know if this is the same Tracy Whipple that I booked our cruise through at Dreams Unlimited? If so, does that mean she isn't my DUL travel agent any more?

Yes, It is the same Tracy. I follow her on Facebook and saw she had posted a blog about the Taste of Alaska. I guess she started her own travel agency.

OMG I saw that on there and thought it was the sutton place - now I am tempted to stay there the night before!!!!!!
You leave your luggage with them, they take it to the cruise for you - you take an elevator down to the cruise!

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

Ok Im booking it! I can't not do that at that price.... lol

Editing to add - JUST BOOKED IT! We are locals, but its going to be nice to avoid rush hour in the morning!

Aw man, we booked the Sutton Place a week or so ago on Hotwire, but not quite as good a price as you were able to get. I was really hoping for the Pan Pacific! Their descriptions are indistinguishable on Hotwire. Congratulations to all of you who will be staying there!!

 

[magicimaginear]

Sutton Place has a lower Customer Review %. I've been holding off to see if the Pan Pacific showed up and it did today.

Guess I missed that memo. I hope we aren't sorry!

Hey Liz, what time do you think you will get to the hotel? I just changed our reservation there as well.


Thanks for posting this.

Can't wait

Sutton place is GORGEOUS and you will LOVE it.
I work in the film industry and my daughter is also an actress, and we often have to go there for wardrobe calls, picking up scripts, etc...

They put all the celebs up there - the twilight cast, etc... all stay there.

Not sure - maybe about 1pm and hope for an early check in? Just going to skytrain in -really excited to start my vacation a day early! Its going to be so nice to just get up in the morning and go there! I am going to ask for a room overlooking the DCL ship

 

[kris3kid]

We will get.there sometime in the afternoon as well. I will ask for a a port view also, I stayed up till 3 am in LA to see the Wonder come into port, it was very nice. I can't believe it was about the same price as a Best western.

 

[Lollipop's Mom]

It is really rare to see that kind of a rate for the Pan Pacific!!!
DCL is the only ship in dock on Tuesdays, so that is probably why it is more empty. Also I bet lots of locals who just come in on the day of.
I bet the days where there are 3 ships docked the hotel sells out!

Hi All!

Just walked in from work and catching up on the day's posts, emails, etc.... Also was going to book hotel tonight so, I have a question regarding this very timely discovery regarding Pan Pacific.

Great find! Thanks for sharing. We are looking at Hotwire right now and finding one that matches, except it says "Downtown Vancouver West area hotel," not simply "Vancouver West."

Is that it?
