Pan Pacific Vancouver

Vancouver


This luxe Canada Place hotel starts with a cavernous lobby, complete with its own clutch of totem poles. The large rooms, many with panoramic Burrard Inlet vistas, are no less impressive; they come with decadent maple-wood furnishings and the kind of beds whose linen thread-count is off the scale. More pampering required? Hit the luxurious on-site spa, a city fave.

Stanley Park and the downtown core are minutes away on foot, while Gastown (great for nightlife) is just around the corner. Overnight parking costs from $50.
