15 Best Hotels in Vancouver

"Located on Burrard Inlet, the Pan Pacific is most recognizable for its so-called “Five Sails,” massive white sheets that have flown outside Canada Place, the surrounding complex, since Expo ’86. You've got lots of great views to choose from: north and west, past the stunning Vancouver Convention Centre toward Stanley Park, or east, a more urban view that takes in historic Gastown and Vancouver's busy port beyond. As for the rooms themselves: Pillow menus and complimentary shoe-shines are included in the entry-level category, but if you want more—the 1,475-square-foot Opal Suite, for example—you’ll also get free private check-in." - Guy Saddy
