4-star hotels in North Vancouver
Four-star places to stay in North Vancouver, from waterfront hotels on Victory Ship Way to bed and breakfasts and whole-home suites further inland. It is for travellers who want a rated, 4-star base close to Lonsdale Quay, Capilano Road or the quieter residential streets.
Staying in North Vancouver
North Vancouver sits across Burrard Inlet from downtown Vancouver, and its most urban corner is Lonsdale, where Lonsdale Quay, the SeaBus terminal, shops, restaurants and services cluster together. The District stretches west and north towards Capilano and Lynn Valley, both residential and green, and east to the village-like Deep Cove on Indian Arm. Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, Grouse Mountain, Lynn Canyon Park and the Lonsdale Quay Market are the headline draws, with hiking and outdoor recreation running through all of it.
The listed hotels gather near the waterfront and the Lonsdale area: Seaside Hotel North Vancouver and Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier on Victory Ship Way, and Coast Lonsdale Quay Hotel on Carrie Cates Crt. Others spread into residential streets — Tempe Crescent, East 1St Street, Capilano Road, Beaver Road, Flynn Place, Mapleridge Drive and 19Th Street East. Couples get waterfront bars, spas and Jacuzzis; families get family rooms, kitchens and playgrounds; business travellers get business centres and express check-in. Short-break visitors are best served by the three quay-side hotels, 0.6 to 2.4 km from the centre.
