Renaissance Hotel Guest Recommendations

Vancouver > Hotels > Renaissance Hotel Harbourside

I would say that the hotel is in what appears to be a good location. A three minute walk will take one to the Seaside bike and walking / jogging trail which extends around Vancouver's beautiful waterfront and includes the walk around the seaside perimeter of Stanley Park. I did the walk from the hotel, around Stanley Park and back via Denman in two and a quarter hours. There are suggested nine and four mile walking / jogging routes on business card sized cards available in the fitness center. Going east from the hotel, it is a short walk to Canada Place, the new convention centre, and Burrard St. Burrard Street is where to go to get most city buses. The Skytrain can be boarded at the Waterfront Station opposite Canada Place. Tip: if you want a Translink day pass, they are sold in the city's visitor information centre opposite Canada Place (the place listed on the Translink web site in the 1000 block of West Hastings as selling transit passes did not sell day passes - at least not the day we tried to buy them there).

Hotel well located for visits to Stanley park, the Aquarium, shopping (Robson Street).

Take a bike ride ride around Stanley Park. I rented from Spokes on West Georgia Street. The rental was only around $9. If you visit Vancouver and the weather is even okay, take this bike ride all the way around Stanley Park. (Getting around Stanley Park in Vancouver BC ).You will not be disappointed! It is THE most spectacular bike ride I've ever been on. The ocean views are spectacular!

I can also see why this hotel is popular with cruises since the location is close to the terminal. I didn't eat on site, but do recommend Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House.

Great location for downtown hotel--right at Vancouver Convention Center Vancouver where some, not all, cruise boats come in at the terminal there.

Vancouver is a fantastic city, and hotel is on the way to everything! it's right next to the seawall which takes you east to Gastown and west to Stanley Park. Walking south on Thurlow will eventually take you to a ferry across to the museums and the islands.

I walked to the harbour every day and we often ate in restaurants by the water.
There is an CN IMAX Theatre within walking distance, and we watched the 3D underwater movie there, it was a very nice date and we looked ridiculous in 3D glasses. It was worth the money.
