The location on Robson Street is good if you're into shopping at small boutique stores or drinking coffee; there are Starbucks across the street from each other along with other chain coffee shops. People watching at the hotel patio bar is not very interesting nor are the bar's patrons. The other huge bar at the hotel is virtually empty, even late at night. Robson street becomes quite dead at night; not very interesting in the day either. Not really any good pubs/taverns on Robson. A lot more activity on Granville at night, which is about a 10-15 minute walk away; it comes to life after 10pm. Try Doolin's Irish Pub on Grenville. It's a big place, after 10pm it has acoustic music upstairs and a rock band downstairs; wide variety of people. Still, Grenville is a bit rough on the edges and doesn't have a lot of decent options. I wasn't able to find a central nightlife area in Vancouver. The city really comes up short in this area. Other things to do: visit Gastown area; some interesting private art galleries, a couple of nice street patio taverns. Ride a bike Getting around Stanley Park. High-end shopping at the Granville Street mall and along Robson Street; not my thing. A few other interesting private Art Galleries scattered about town. Since I'm not into shopping or fine-dining experiences, for me, 2 days in Vancouver  were plenty; one might have sufficed.

There is plenty of shopping close by on Robson Street and nice eateries, eg. Vinada on Robson, Zefferelli's on Robson, Absolute Sugar at the Harbour Centre, as well as Hamburger Mary's and Cafe Luxy on Davie. If you are looking for souvenirs then try Canadian Crafts on Robson, very helpful staff.

Great cafe close by serving reasonably priced, hearty breakfast - Coco Rico Cafe Bistro, 1290 Robson Street.

Ask for a room facing Stanley Park. Contact hotel directly for best rate and room location.

We had breakfast every morning at the Granville Island Market-we loved this place! Good coffee, fresh-squeezed juice, and a variety of great baked goods (esp. Terra Bakery), eaten at a table overlooking False Creek-what could be better?

I especially enjoyed the jazz club, O'Doul's Restaurant and Bar, located on Robson Street. It is within walking distance.

Also high on our list is Stanley Park, especially the seawall walk-what a beautiful place!

This hotel is old but the Hotel Location on Robson Street is within walking distance of many good restaurants like the Keg Steak House and Moxie's.
