Absolutely amazing hotel. Not sure I would recommend it for a family, as the ambience and shared businesses might not be ideal for children, but for lone adults or couples this is an incredible place to stay. The location is perfect: near malls and shopping streets and the enormous Stanley Park. Within walking distance of a plethora of restaurants, grocery stores, massage therapists, cafés, gyms and more.
The city's downtown feels very pleasant and safe at all hours, even at night, allowing you to focus on enjoying the Vancouver nightlife, including this hotel's very own nightclub.
It is situated on one of the major streets, and thus gives you easy access to buses, trains, and bike rentals.
The hotel also offers a gym, a pool, a hot tub and a fantastic restaurant, all without needing to step a foot outside.
The cost is on the higher end, but in my opinion the services and peace of mind they offer are worth that price.
