At Botanist, we believe in the power of place – the way a space can set the stage for connection, conversation and celebration.

Step inside our private dining room and you will feel it instantly: the calm, the care, the sense that this moment matters. Whether you’re raising a glass with clients or celebrating a special life event with friends and family, it’s a setting designed to help you savour it all.

A Space that Feels Like it was Meant for You

Tucked away from our main dining room, this private space is warm and inviting, bathed in soft light, wrapped in rich textures and framed by nods to the natural world outside. With room for up to 14 guests, it’s intimate without feeling enclosed.

Looking for something a little more open? The Botanist Garden offers a semi-private experience surrounded by dozens of plants. Seating up to 22 guests, it’s a lush, light-filled space that blurs the line between indoors and out.

Award-Winning Pacific Northwest Cuisine

At Botanist, every dish tells a story of where we are and what’s in season. Executive Chef Hector Laguna draws inspiration from the Pacific Northwest – its coastline, forests and farms – to create dishes that feel rooted, yet refined. Think vibrant greens, pristine seafood and ingredients treated with a light hand to let their true character shine.

In our private dining room, we take that philosophy a step further with curated menus tailored to your event. Each dish is crafted with care and creativity, just as it should be when shared among those you hold closest.

Service That’s as Thoughtful as the Setting

The hallmark of a memorable event isn’t just what’s on the table – it’s how you’re made to feel. At Botanist, service is thoughtful, intuitive and always present without ever being intrusive, allowing you to focus on your guests and the moments you’re creating together. From the first bite to the last sip of wine, our team is dedicated to ensuring that everything runs smoothly, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

A Beverage Program Designed to Delight

Just as the kitchen reflects the region, so too does the bar. At Botanist, our award-winning wine and cocktail program is crafted to complement the menu (and the moment).

Head Sommelier Matthew Jacobson has built a thoughtful and wide-reaching wine list, with a focus on small producers and expressive pairings. For those looking to explore further, our team is always ready to curate a bespoke flight or elevate the experience with premium selections.

Meanwhile, at Botanist Bar, Creative Beverage Director Grant Sceney and his team continue to reimagine what a cocktail can be. Botanical, unexpected and often a little playful, each drink is a nod to our namesake and a reflection of our setting.

An Unbeatable Location in the Heart of Vancouver

Located within Fairmont Pacific Rim, Botanist sits in the heart of downtown Vancouver, where the city meets the sea. It’s a setting that’s both vibrant and grounded, steps from the Vancouver Convention Centre and the waterfront, yet quietly tucked away from the rush.

For guests arriving from out of town or locals looking for a space that feels elevated and easy, Botanist is a natural choice. And whether the evening ends with a walk along the Seawall or a nightcap at The Lobby Lounge, it’s the kind of place that lingers in memory.
