The YukonHome/Where to stay/Vancouver/4-star hotels
4-star hotels in Vancouver
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Vancouver, drawn from the downtown core and its edges, for travellers who want a reliable, well-rated base within walking distance of the city's business district, shops and waterfront.
Staying in Vancouver
Vancouver packs a business and shopping core, a historic quarter and a waterfront into a compact, walkable downtown, and the hotels here put you in the middle of it. Stanley Park, one of North America's largest urban parks, has beaches, trails and skyline views; the city is also a gateway to skiing, hiking and sailing, and its multicultural makeup shows in the dining, festivals and arts scene.
These 4-star addresses sit in Downtown: Davie Street, Richards Street, West Georgia Street, Hornby Street, Howe Street, West Hastings Street, Robson Street, Dunsmuir Street, West Pender Street, Burrard Street, Canada Place and Bayshore Drive, from 0.6 to 2.6 km from the centre. Couples get walkable evenings and waterfront strolls; families find pools and family rooms; business travellers are close to the central business district; short-break visitors can reach Stanley Park and transit on foot.
