great location for downtown hotel--right at Canada harbor where some, not all, cruise boats come in. great views of harbor from harborview rooms. Vancouver is a fantastic city, and hotel is on the way to everything! it's right next to the seawall which takes you east to Gastown and west to Stanley Park. Walking south on Thurlow will eventually take... more

This hotel is situated in an ideal location for wandering around the harbour, with all the associated sights and sounds. The room we had was very comfortable, and since it was angled toward the street, we had a great view down the street towards many of the skyscrapers in Vancouver. Our only - not really a complaint, just an observation... more

If you're planning a romantic evening away, don't book this hotel. I booked a room for my nephew, as a wedding gift. Despite having talked with the front desk twice, the latest being the morning of the wedding and making them aware that this was a wedding present and being assured that all would go smoothly for the couple, it... more

Well the hotel was superb in every way. The staff caring, friendly and polite. Room was just so perfect, overlooking harbour and float planes. It was my 60th birthday, and they made it soooo special, we cannot thank them enough. Hotel spotless throughout. The best variety of breakfast , and such happy staff. We will deffinately stay here again. If... more

(1) the hotel room that... more

My husband and I stayed here for a total of 6 nights at the start and end of a tour of the Rockies. I have to admit that I was nervous of staying in one place for so long in case it was not good. We had a super stay. The bedrooms were comfortable if a little cramped. We had... more

I travel for work a lot and usually stay at Marriott/Starwood properties. This is your average Marriott/Renaissance property. The new renovated rooms have the revive bedding which is great. The bathrooms are small but also renovated. The lobby, pool/sauna/workout, and other common areas are straight out of the 80's but if you don't mind that, the hotel is great. You... more

This was an excellent hotel. The rooms were nice, and looked as they do in the hotel pictures. The staff were very friendly. The pool was large, with a large gym with washrooms and change rooms. There is also a sauna and hot tub. The pool and area were bigger than I was expecting for that area of Vancouver. I... more

LOCATION: The Renaissance had an excellent location. It is walking distance to great shops at Robson and Pacific Center. CHECK-IN: Check-in was fast and easy. Clarissa and Anthony took some time to walk us through all of the tourist attractions and activities since it was slow for them. They also sent over coupons and brochures to our room while we... more
