Fodor’s - Vancouver and British Columbia 5th edition, 2006

* Fairholme Manor. Original art, Viennese antiques and dramatic decor shine in this lavish, 1885 Italianate mansion. Surrounded by an acre of gardens in the Rockland district a mile from the inner harbour, the Fairholme has an open, airy feel in its spacious high ceiling rooms. The suites are massive - some about 900 sq. ft each - and most have a king bed, a view, and a fireplace. The Olympic Grand Suite boasts of a lavish chandelier and private ocean-view deck: the two-bedroom Rose Garden Suite has a kitchen and a private deck. Elaborate breakfasts are served at tables for two by the fireplace in the dining room or on the porch.
