Staying in Richmond
Richmond mixes urban and natural attractions. Visitors can explore the historic fishing village of Steveston, shop and dine in the city centre, or relax in the many parks and waterfront areas. The city is also a gateway to the Fraser River and the Strait of Georgia, with opportunities for boating and birdwatching, and it is home to Vancouver International Airport on Sea Island, which the Canada Line serves.
The hotels on this shortlist are spread across Richmond, on Bridgeport Road, Westminster Highway, Cambie Road, Corvette Way, Cessna Drive, Ackroyd Road, Minoru Blvd, St Edwards Drive, River Road, Rochdale Drive, Brown Road and Grant Mcconachie Way, between 0.7 km and 4.4 km from the centre. It suits travellers with an early flight or a layover, couples drawn to a jacuzzi or a salt water pool, families who need family rooms and pools, and business guests who want a fitness centre, a business centre and a restaurant in the same building.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Richmond is served by Vancouver International Airport (YVR), which is located on Sea Island within the city. The Canada Line rapid transit connects the airport to downtown Vancouver and other parts of Richmond, including Bridgeport and Richmond–Brighouse stations, and links downtown Vancouver to Richmond in about 25 minutes. Major highways, such as Highway 99 and Highway 91, provide road access from Vancouver and the U.S. border. Getting around Richmond is easy with public transit, including buses and the Canada Line, as well as taxis, ride-sharing services and rental cars. Some areas, such as Steveston and the City Centre, are walkable, but the city is spread out.
When to go
The best time to visit Richmond is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mild and dry, with average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 22°C. This is ideal for outdoor activities and exploring Steveston. Spring and autumn are also pleasant, with fewer crowds. Winter can be wet and cool, but the city remains accessible and offers indoor attractions.
