Location basically a hop and skip away from English Bay and the edge of Stanley Park is second to none. We love coming to this location and the food in the restaurant is top notch along with all the employees.

The rooms are well apportioned, roomy, and have very comfortable beds. The location is just wonderful for a Vancouver experience. The hotel's history is a nice addition. My only issue is the room fridge compressor was louder than I would have expected.
