A Luxury Stay In Vibrant Vancouver: Fairmont Pacific Rim

Intimate encounters with wilderness is the prime focus at the secluded Sonora Resort in British Columbia, highlighted in Part One of this Canadian adventure. There, guests soak in mineral pools and join expeditions looking for for whales, orcas and grizzly bears. Fast forward to my helicopter return with a slight change in longitude, and the city comes to center stage. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim. My re-entry into a faster pace was seamless—by private car from the heliport to the harbor (courtesy of the luxury hotel's BMW car service).
