Westin Bayshore Resort & Marina

Frommer's Review

This is Vancouver's only resort hotel with its own marina (should you arrive by private boat), and the views from all but a handful of its rooms are stunning. Perched on the water's edge overlooking Coal Harbour marina and Stanley Park on one side, and Burrard Inlet and the city on the other, the Bayshore is an easy stroll from Canada Place Pier, Robson Street, and downtown. Rooms in the original 1961 building have been refurbished with classic-looking decor and floor-to-ceiling windows that open wide. In the newer tower, the rooms are a bit larger and have narrow balconies. The bathrooms in both buildings are nicely finished but fairly small. The heated outdoor pool is reputedly the largest in North America; there's even a second indoor pool plus a full gym. Children receive their own welcome package. Like other Westins, the Bayshore is now completely nonsmoking and features the aptly named "Heavenly" beds, with down blankets, three layers of heavy cotton sheets, a down duvet, and dream-worthy pillows.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; 2 pools (both indoor and outdoor); health club; full-service spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; nonsmoking hotel
