Gastown
Historic Gastown is one of the best shopping experiences in Vancouver, for good reason: it’s one of the hippest, most stylish shopping destinations in the city. Home to some of the best high-end, independent fashion boutiques in Vancouver, Gastown is a fashion hot-spot as well as the epicenter for Vancouver interior design. Gastown is the destination for independent, local or designed-inVancouver fashion.
The East Village
The East Village is located within two historic neighbourhoods situated in the heart of East Vancouver: Hastings Sunrise and Grandview-Woodland. It is a community that has a long heritage of cultural diversity, as well as a dedication to fostering unique businesses that capture the real flavour of what it means to be from East Vancouver. Made by hand in Vancouver since 1946, you can visit the historic Dayton factory. Dayton Boots are made with the best of everything. The best leathers and Goodyear Welted, durable soles and quality hardware. Right down to the brass tacks. There’s something special about owning a pair of Daytons.
R OBSON & A LBERNI S TREET SHOPPING
Vancouver’s answer to Rodeo Drive is located one block from Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.

Yaletown
Just a short walk from the doorstep of Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, the young, well-heeled and hip have transformed rows of former Yaletown warehouses into a digital district with stylish brick and beam offices, lofts, boutiques, trendy dining, clubs and micro brewery pubs. Yaletown provides the serenity of an oceanfront seawall, along with a large selection of trendy patios and award winning boutiques.

South Granville
Just over the Granville Street Bridge, this 10-block stretch of Granville Street - from Sixth Avenue up to 16th Avenue - is where Vancouver’s enclave of Shaughnessy comes to shop. Classic and upscale men’s and women’s clothiers, and house ware and furniture boutiques predominate. This area is also the heart of Vancouver’s gallery row. As one of the best neighbourhoods in Vancouver to visit, South Granville’s vibrant retail community attracts a wide range of clientele, from aspiring designers and art lovers to fashion trend setters and gourmet connoisseurs.
