Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel is one of the newest hotels in Vancouver, it is a beautiful property with many different areas to explore and learn from. Today our students got a guided tour where we explored their Coffee Shop, Wine Bar, Gift Shop, Flower Shop, Sushi Bar, Lobby Lounge, Oru restaurant and their Banquet facilities. Some of our students had the opportunity to work at this beautiful hotel.

The coffee industry in Vancouver is very good and extensive, therefore we as hospitality professional like to know as much as we can about coffee, so today we visit JJ Bean Coffee Roasters.  The Neate family has been roasting coffee in Vancouver for four generations. In 1996, John Neate Jr. (JJ) established JJ Bean Coffee Roasters to honour people through great coffee, food, spaces, and service.
