WHERE?
FOUR SEASONS VANCOUVER, with its extensive views over Vancouver and the surrounding hills and islands, will definitely feel like you have arrived at the top end of town. Not only are you staying in one of the city’s more distinctive high-rises and enjoying the usual standards of service and accommodation associated with the Four Seasons brand, but the hotel is also perfectly located for everything from business to retail therapy and sightseeing.
The hotel is right in the heart of the financial district and very close to the Trade and Convention centre on the waterfront. For those with money to burn, the Four Seasons has Vancouver’s largest shopping mall – the Pacific Centre – just below it, and is one block away from the city’s swankiest stores on Robson Street. Best of all, many of this appealing north-west Pacific city’s top attractions are no more than a walk away.
Closest by is the Vancouver Art Gallery just across the street, while within a fifteen minute stroll are the Burrard inlet waterfront and the historic districts of Gastown and Chinatown. With its famous steam-powered clock, restored Victorian buildings and innovative Storyeum Museum (which thrillingly reconstructs the history of British Columbia using actors to lead you through different periods) Gastown is of particular interest. Also nearby is beautiful Stanley Park, which hints at the wilds just beyond the city limits with its 35kms of hiking trails and 10km of seawall, and Granville Island, with its maritime history and large Public Market. The hotel offers a complimentary limo service to downtown locations, between 5pm and 10pm, which is useful if you want to have dinner at somewhere like English Bay, at the other end of the centre.
