Vancouver Accommodations

My Daughter and I stayed at the Wall Hotel in Downtown Vancouver for eleven nights, it was a great Hotel and the service was top class, the staff went out of there way to make sure your stay was perfect.
The rooms were exceptionally clean and bright due to the floor to ceiling windows, they consist of two queen beds I have never slept in such a comfortable bed before, we had fantastic views from the 24th floor, we could see the snow capped mountains, Downtown Vancouver and out as far as the Pacific Ocean.

The location is ideal for all the main shops and restaurants; the people are very friendly, I liked the way that pedestrians have the right of way at crossings, traffic is so curtias in the City.
We used all the leisure amenities i.e.: -Pool Sauna Gym ect. They are well set out.

The taxi's and transport are quite reasonable; we also used the Sky train and sea bus which run regular so they is not much waiting time.

We dined at the Cloud 9 (rotating restaurant) the menu food and service was very good, the views from the Restaurant were breathtaking.

We also enjoyed a couple of evenings at the 941 tapes bar on Davie Street which is only a short walk away from the hotel, this is a small place with only about a dozen tables but the atmosphere is great for all ages, the food and the wine are so good that we could not fault the place, it is defiantly a place to visit when you are in the area.

We would defiantly return to the Sheraton wall Centre; I look forward to my next stay.

I was worried at first when we discovered that our room was in the South Tower after reading reviews on here but I was pleasantly surprised. The room was large and had a king size bed which was incredibly comfortable. The shower was gorgeous as it had just about the right amount of power to relax. The view was good even though we were only on the 8th floor. The staff could not have done more, nothing was too much trouble and the check-in desk staff were exceptionally efficient. There are some great restaurants near the hotel, if you like Thai food I would suggest going to a place called Salai Thai about 5 minutes walk from the hotel, the food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Also, if you like steak and a good atmosphere go to Moxies and I really suggest going to Earls on Robson Street for lunch. To sum up we really enjoyed our stay and this hotel is so near to everything you would want to do. Highly recommended.

Stayed here again for a conference. Stayed in the North Tower, which is the more modern, more recently renovated tower and has slightly better rooms than the South Tower. Beware also that the SPG floors are generally in the older South Tower so be sure to ask for North Tower rooms. If you can be upgraded for your Starwood status, try to get one of the corner rooms that have wrap around glass and incredible views. Location is nice too. Very little option for eating on premises. The restaurant in the north tower is basically only open for breakfast. The Lobby bar serves light food at night if you are desperate. Room service was very expensive and food quality was poor. Free bottled water in the room daily for Starwood preferred guests. No mini bars - but they do have refrigerators which you can stock yourself.
Be mindful of your valuables - while at the conference, my best friend had her room broken into and her credit cards were stolen and used for local purchases. One of the conference planners also found her room door partly ajar when she returned in the late afternoon after it had been serviced/cleaned. Make sure you lock your valuables, wallets and passports in the in-room safe.

My Daughter and I stayed at the Sheraton Vancouver - Wall Centre Hotel from the 11th to the21st November 2008, it was the most comfortable and friendly hotel I have stayed in for a while, the staff went out there way to help you nothing was too much trouble.

The rooms are large with two queen size beds, we were on the 24th floor and the views we could see from our window of the snow covered mountains and English bay / Pacific and most of Downtown Vancouver, were breathtaking, I would defiantly stay there again.

The Restaurants I would recommend are Cloud 9 off Robinson St (rotating Restaurant) the views are amazing, most of all the food is tops a good variety menu, need to book your table as it can get very busy later in the evening.
Also for a change try the Tapas bar :-BIN 941 in Davie Street, they do not take bookings, but its well worth the visit.

It was our first visit to Vancouver, overall we fell in love with the city, friendly people great shops and we used the Sea bus ,sky train and Taxis to get around and found them all reasonable, as two woman travelling on our own around Vancouver we felt very safe, even on the evenings, no need to take fancy clothes they all seem to prefer casual dress.
