Hotels in Vancouver, Canada

Voted the 2nd best city in the world by the World Council of Cities, Vancouver is a very new urban development. The discovery of gold and the appearance of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1884 catapulted life in Vancouver into hasty development.

Vancouver has a view or two to offer. Its biggest industry is that of tourism with good reason. The city is stunning and energetic and has much to offer the globe- trotting visitor. Situated on the South Eastern ledge of British Columbia, the city's landscape includes the ocean with its beautiful beaches, its mountains and its forests. Add to that a spectacular skyline of tall glassy buildings and you have a scene that takes your breath away, day or night!

With a population of around half a million, Vancouver's inhabitants are responsible for the varied lifestyles and offerings of the city. Visit Downtown Vancouver and enjoy plenty of style and energy. This is the place to visit for serious shopping agendas! Travel to Gastown (the oldest part of town) for endearing Victorian scenes and a very varied choice of dining and entertainment. Other places to visit during your stay should include Little India (for its scattering of second hand shops) and Chinatown for its amazing night market and range of eating establishments. Accommodation opportunities within a range of budgets and styles are as varied as places to see and things to do in Vancouver.
