The YukonHome/Where to stay/Burnaby/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Burnaby
This shortlist covers 10 three-star hotels in Burnaby, British Columbia, spread from Metrotown to Lougheed and the quieter Deer Lake side of the city. It is for travellers who want a mid-range base with SkyTrain and highway access to Vancouver and the Tri-Cities.
Staying in Burnaby
Burnaby sits between Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, and its visitor life clusters around a few districts. Metrotown is the commercial and shopping heart, with Metropolis at Metrotown and a SkyTrain station; Brentwood, Lougheed and Deer Lake each offer their own centre, and the city's large parks, Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake, give it a greener feel than its shopping reputation suggests.
These hotels are scattered across those districts rather than concentrated in one. Best Western PLUS Burnaby Hotel on Kingsway and Pelicanstay in Burnaby on Sanders Street sit closest to the centre, while Element Vancouver Metrotown on Willingdon Avenue is 1.1 km out; Coast Metro Vancouver Hotel on Boundary Road, Accent Inns Burnaby on Henning Drive and Executive Suites Hotel Metro Vancouver on Lougheed Hwy lie 4.1 to 4.7 km from the middle. Couples and short-break visitors gravitate to the Metrotown cluster, families to the suite-style properties with kitchens, and business travellers to the hotels with business centres and fitness facilities.
