The 4 Best Hotels in Vancouver
The Granville Island Hotel has an incredible location on the water and a short boat ride or walk to downtown Vancouver.
1. Granville Island Hotel
A very good hotel in a wonderful location on Granville Island. The huge Granville island market is steps away. The Aquabus leaves every few minutes for downtown, Stanley Park, and other spots around False Creek. And the pedestrian and bike path goes right by the hotel and runs all the way to Stanley Park. Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available from many nearby businesses. The Granville Island Hotel is not quite as luxurious as the Fairmont or Four Seasons but if you’re goal is to experience the outdoors it can’t be beat.
2. Fairmont Hotel Vancouver
A classic luxury hotel with a great central location. Elegant decor, onsite luxury shopping, and fabulous indoor pool and fitness center. Family and pet-friendly too, with nightly milk and cookies for kids and a concierge with canine ambassadors. The Fairmont is located just around the corner from Robson Street shopping and restaurants, within easy walking distance of all downtown attractions.
3. Rosewood Hotel Georgia
Centrally-located and newly-renovated, but retaining plenty of old-world charm. Spacious and elegant guest rooms feature great luxury extras like heated bathroom floors and Nespresso machines. Deluxe rooms and above have large soaking tubs. Full-treatment spa, beautiful garden terrace, excellent restaurant, and indoor saltwater lap pool. Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, across from the Art Gallery, Pacific Centre, and Skytrain.
4. Four Seasons
30-story luxury hotel atop downtown Vancouver’s Pacific Centre Mall. Rooms and suites are comfortable and spacious, with lovely views out over the city and mountains. The 2-story Royal Suite has floor-to-ceiling windows and a dining table for 8. The heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool is fun, and there’s an excellent in-house restaurant. The Four Seasons is kid-friendly and has a great central location that’s convenient to everything downtown, adjacent to the Skytrain.
