V ANCOUVER The essential guide to Vancouver

Vancouver is dazzling! It’s generously endowed with natural splendor, snow capped mountains, temperate rainforests and the ocean! But it’s also a vibrant city with a glassy downtown and dozens of unique neighbourhoods to explore!

As the largest city located on Canada’s west coast, Vancouver is both naturally astounding and abundant in arts, culture, and diversity. For visitors, it’s a year-round treasure trove of activities and experiences. It’s possible to go boating in the morning, skiing in the afternoon, and watch your favorite band performing in the evening.

Vancouver is meant to be experienced outdoors. Thanks to its temperate climate, the city has its fair share of lush outdoor spaces, the largest among them being Stanley Park. After you’ve strolled some of its nearly 1,000 acres, visit some of the city’s other beloved outdoor attractions like Queen Elizabeth Park or VanDusen Botanical Garden. For a real thrill, take a walk across the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which hovers 230 feet above Capilano River. When you’re ready to refuel, you’ll have your pick of delicious market eats at Granville Island and Lonsdale Quay.

The hotel staff have compiled a list of recommended activities to help you experience the area’s most popular attractions in Vancouver and hidden treasures! Visit our concierge team for more information.
