Sunset Inn & Suites

Top choice in Vancouver


A good-value cut above most of Vancouver's self-catering suite hotels, the popular Sunset Inn offers larger-than-average rooms with kitchens. Each has a balcony, and some – particularly those on south-facing higher floors – have partial views of English Bay. Rates include continental breakfast (with make-your-own waffles) and, rare for Vancouver, free parking. The attentive staff is among the best in the city.

Sunset Inn is sitting pretty near a wide array of West End shops and restaurants, as well as Sunset Beach and the bustling Davie St 'gayborhood.' A handy on-site laundry for guests is also available. And if you fancy a night in, the front desk can loan you a free movie or two.
