Founded in 1898, this historic hotel in Downtown Vancouver is a must if you want to be right in the heart of the action. As well as its excellent location, this place steeped in history offers comfort and service to match your expectations: a very good deal!
There are several accommodation options to choose from, depending on your tastes, budget, whether you're going as a couple or a family, etc. For one or two people, hotels and Bed & Breakfasts are the most suitable options. It's a fairly expensive city, and accommodation (especially during the tourist season) is no exception to the rule, but it's possible to find some good deals!
Whatever your choice, we recommend that you plan ahead as much as possible, as prices vary widely and availability in the heart of Vancouver can be hard to come by. If you're coming in the low season and want to treat yourself, you can opt for a top-of-the-range hotel.

1. Victorian Hotel, in the heart of Vancouver
A special feature: several rooms do not have a private bathroom (this is, of course, indicated when you make your reservation). Don't worry, there are enough shared bathrooms to avoid waiting, and the rooms are cleaned several times a day. Guest feedback is unanimously positive about this originality, which in no way detracts from their stay.
With air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV and coffee machines in every room, the Victorian Hotel offers a full range of services and very helpful staff. Please note, however, that there is currently no lift to access the upper floors.

The perfect address! Located in the heart of Vancouver in the West End district, this large house offers quiet rooms with total comfort (bedding, wifi, etc.) and delicious breakfasts prepared by your host.
The location is ideal for taking advantage of the city's attractions, and those coming on a roadtrip will even be able to park here, which is not easy in Vancouver's city centre.
The charm of the place lies in its welcoming historic aesthetic, and the only downside would be its lack of practicality for the elderly or those with reduced mobility due to the old staircases typical of this type of building. Apart from that, it's a faultless place to stay if you want a haven of peace with an available host.
