Stayed there by myself, but will be back again with wife and kids. Great property, perfect location and wonderful staff. Loved walking and running the trails and sea wall that was so close to hotel. Very quiet and peaceful at night and the bed and bathroom was great. My only complaint is that the treadmills in the gym are very old and don’t work well. Additionally, as the jacuzzi hot tub was located in the workout room, very hot and humid to work out there. However on days when it is not raining you don’t need to use the gym given the great trails around. I will be back.

I love the location but the bed and pillows were not very comfortable. I usually sleep like a baby at hotels so I was surprised. Staff was great though all around and I would stay again.

My family was so impressed with this hotel last year, that it was an easy choice to return this trip. Again, we had a great experience from the moment we set foot in the entrance. The front desk staff was so friendly and accommodating. This time around we tried the Dockside Restaurant for cocktails, dinner and brunch. It did not disappoint. I highly recommend staying here if you ever find yourself in the Vancouver, BC area.

The exceptional staff made our experience over and beyond anything we were expecting. The room was clean and comfortable. The vibe was warm and friendly, but still opulent. The lovely concierge, AJ and Sam, were a pleasure to chat with about family and homelands and they had us sorted in a timely manner.

Beautiful property right on the water. Classic hotel in an amazing location. Great for families with so much to do on Granville Island and with direct access to other parts of Vancouver via the water taxis.
