The Executive Hotel Downtown Vancouver is a stylish, boutique hotel situated in the heart of downtown Vancouver featuring views of the city, ocean and mountains. All of this is comes at a surprisingly low room rate. The hotel offers facilities such as a restaurant, lounge, fitness rooms, hot tub and a complimentary local shuttle. The rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows extending breathtaking views. In-room amenities include a mini-fridge, coffee maker with tea and coffee, cable TV with pay-per-view movies, in-room safe, iron/ironing board and a hairdryer. The hotel is only minutes to fine dining,shopping and entertainment venues.Room service operates from 6.30am to 10pm.

 

It might never occur to you that staying at an airport hotel would be a good idea – until you try the Fairmont Airport Hotel, that is. It’s the height of luxury, windows are triple-glazed, so you’ll sleep in quiet comfort. You’ll hardly realise you’re at the airport, unless you visit the pool and hot tub, where you can see the queues of people below, outbound at the international terminal. And that’s another reason to stay here: You’re already at the terminal. A truly first-class restaurant and bar (Globe at YVR – attracts eager crowds from Vancouver virtually every night – don’t forget to reserve) round out the offerings.

 

Four Seasons is the world’s leading operator of luxury hotels and resorts. Founded in Toronto in 1961, they now operate some 61 deluxe properties in 29 countries. Four Seasons traces it roots to an idea that would prove to be revolutionary: what the global business traveller wanted most was personalised service, available round-the-clock. Frequent international travel, now so commonplace, set the stage back then for a new kind of luxury hotel experience. The Vancouver property does not disappoint. Fax machines are available – free of charge – for any guestroom. And Four Season’s on-site dining is superb: Chartwell set the high bar for hotel dining (and still does). *BY REQUEST ONLY

 

The Hyatt is virtually at Vancouver’s downtown crossroads, so it’s close to everything the city has to offer. The Regency Club level caters to the business crowd and other discriminating travellers. The hotel’s fitness amenities include a heated outdoor pool and a state-of-the-art health club with Stairmaster, Nautilus, Universal and Lifecycle equipment. As to dining, well, their Mosaic Bar and Grill also happens to be one of Vancouver’s hot new restaurants. There are copious meeting room possibilities, and the 'Business Plan Floor’ has fax machines in every room. Floors 28 and higher all have high-speed internet access (and more is planned). Luxury and convenience is a given at the Hyatt.

 

Most people view Sheraton Hotels as inexpensive family rest-stops, but the Sheraton Wall Centre aims to change that perception: This is luxury and business all the way. They have every size and configuration of meeting room (they boast the most meeting space in any hotel in town), and rooms on the 'Crystal Club Floor’ all have fax machines. Every room is high-speed internet-ready, and if that were not enough, they have two of the best restaurants in town and a Starbucks, on premises. Either Indigo or Café One is ideal for business meals, and Bar One is just right for after-work drinks. It’s a spectacular property and sure to impress.
