The 5 Best Hotels in Vancouver (Updated 2025)

"Just two blocks from the waterfront, this four-star hotel offers incredible value for the location: there’s a heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, a spa, and a fully equipped gym, plus an on-site bar and restaurant that focuses on fresh, local cuisine. I love that you’re a short walk to Stanley Park; the rooms include a large 55" flatscreen TV, coffee maker, desk, and very soft beds, and while the minimalist decor and carpets feel a bit dated, the rooms are large and airy with floor-to-ceiling windows. The bathrooms are bright and include bidets and showers with decent pressure. Breakfast isn’t included but has a wide a la carte selection from healthy power bowls to steak and eggs, making this a nice upscale choice in a great location." - Matthew Kepnes
