I stayed at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, known locally as “The Castle In The Sky,” a chateau-style landmark with green, copper-clad roof and stony-eyed gargoyles surveying their surroundings. If the kindness and care I received is any indication of Fairmont’s amity towards the LGBTQ community, well, let’s just say the experience of it will stay with me for a long time. My weekend was filled at their behest with excursions to the various Pride events and community hotspots.
To my added delight, I was fortunate enough to visit-via the generosity of the exquisite Fairmont Hotels, specifically the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Fairmont Pacific Rim and Fairmont Waterfront known as great LGBTQ supporters-during the city’s Pride Festival and Parade. I spent a long, delightful weekend there perched on nature’s edge, basking in the hospitality the stunning city is known for. is the latest location I’ve had the pleasure to explore and enjoy. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and Canada’s coastal mountains, Vancouver, B.C.
