Review of Renaissance Vancouver Hotel Harbourside, Vancouver

A decent hotel choice for downtown Vancouver

Advantages: Great location, good facilities, great deal
Disadvantages: You'll be lucky to get the same deal

INTRODUCTION It was the first time Ms Larsbaby and myself had been to Vancouver, and without first hand experience of knowing where to stay, we had a look on the net and took this hotel booked for us by the excellent Trailfinders, which was one of their options.

Review of Century Plaza Hotel and Spa, Vancouver

Fabulous Vancouver!

Advantages: Great city, great food, good value for money once you're there
Disadvantages: Expensive to get to and long flight there

from Vancouver by seaplane there and bus and ferry back, and so I think I can include this here as it's in the general area which you might want to see if you spend at least a few days here. We booked this at the excellent tourist information office, but you can also book this in advance or through your hotel. Be warned though, the flights are pretty popular (not least amongst business people - we seemed to be the only tourists on our flight). I would recommend booking ahead if you're here for a very short time. Also, make sure you arrive for the bus back early as the queue is quite long and you might be unlucky and miss a seat! The flight to Victoria gave us an amazing view of Vancouver as we left. The island is seen as the most British of areas, and until recently it was apparently a very old fashioned British theme park kind of a place ...
