The Westin Grand

Frommer's Review

It's such a pleasure to find a luxury-level hotel that's elegant instead of garish, and understated rather than pompous. Located across from Library Square, The Westin Grand offers high-end all-suite accommodations within easy walking distance of Yaletown, GM Place, and Robson shopping. The spacious suites are brightened by natural light pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows; if you can, spring for one of the deluxe 09 or 03 units, which have balconies. Sitting rooms come with a concealed kitchenette and loads of business-friendly amenities; bedrooms feature Westin's trademark Heavenly beds, with custom-designed Simmons mattresses (read: 900 coils), fine linens, and everything you need to be luxuriously cozy. The furnishings throughout are clean-lined and contemporary; bathrooms are roomy, most with separate tub and shower. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available. Private workout equipment gets its own two rooms, and a great 24-hour on-site gym with an outdoor lap pool is on the top two floors. Kids get a special welcome kit, and the hotel's Aria restaurant has a kids' menu. Check the website for special deals; suites are often available for half the rack rate.
