Pros (+) The location couldn't be better. The hotel is right across the street from English Bay with beaches, walking and bike paths. Stanley Park is a short walk north and just south you'll find lots of cafe's, shopping and bus service.

A breathtaking element of the city, the color of the leaves changes with the seasons. On the outskirts of the downtown district, car traffic is barely noticeable, delivering a quiet oasis. A well-known landmark in Vancouver, it served as a post for the navy during World War II and was one of the tallest buildings in the city until modern development. Two children’s books were written about the history of the hotel and are available to purchase in the lobby.
