Vancouver Hotels

Vancouver is home to an exceptional number of first-class hotels, including glitzy skyscrapers in Coal Harbour, renovated downtown heritage properties and hip Yaletown boutique hotels. One to look out for in late 2017 is Parq, a swanky complex with two hotels, a casino and multiple restaurants. There are also a good number of more affordable chains, particularly on and around Granville Street near False Creek.

The Vancouver hotels below have been hand-picked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over C$350)
Moderate (C$250 to C$350)
Cheap (up to C$250)

These prices are for one night in a double room in summer, including tax but not breakfast. Prices can be reduced by as much as half at other times of the year.
