Recommended Suite Hotel in Vancouver
 
Hi,
We are staying in Vancouver for a week over the Canada day celebrations as the last leg of our reccie trip/holiday.
Can anyone recommend a good suite hotel or equivalent downtown that would be suitable? We are travelling with baby and toddler and will be relying on public transport.
Thanks

Hmm. How rich are you? I'd work your way through the list at TripAdvisor until you hit something in your price range.

When we were there last we stayed in a fabulous suite hotel directly to the south of the library. May have been called the Robson Suites. Highly recommended and very reasonable when we booked it through Expedia. Stayed at the Century Plaza before and its not too bad.

Have a look at Tripadvisor.com if you haven't already:

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g1...ia-Hotels.html

Their current No.1 Vancouver hotel (based on customer feedback) is Hampton Inn & Suites at average $254 per night. However at No.11 is Sunset Inn & Suites: cheaper and they appear to have good feedback. Judging by the photos they appear to be in Downtown area.

Hello

Just to say I stayed @ the YWCA on my reccie, and couldn't really fault it! It was BASIC, but charged as such. The staff were way nicer than they were at the Sandman hotel in Calgary! I was on an amazingly tight budget, and found it's location very good. Not sure it's a place suitable for a family though.

Have a nice trip however!

I'd suggest that you look at the Marriott Residence suits on hornby st

I'd ask for the corporate rate, pretend you work for one of Canada's bigger companies

Canada, and Vancouver in particular, strikes me as a very odd choice of a place to move to if you're a homophobe. They're everywhere you know.

We stayed here twice, and as Ben said, it was very nice ....... it's called the Rosedale on Robson I think :)

Yep ........ here it is http://www.rosedaleonrobson.com/

Friends of ours have stayed at Rosie's on Robson, and loved it. I'm not sure if it's actually called that, but close!:)

That's the one. Couldn't fault it. Decent sized suites for the price of a room in other places, plus it's an independent and fabulously located. Expedia gave us a good rate for it.

I always suggest the Sylvia Hotel to visitors. It has style and elegance at a reasonable price. It's right next to the beach and Stanley Park and 5 minutes walk to the bus stops on Denman Street. It is a bit of a hike from the downtown core (you would need a stroller for the toddler) but there are plenty of buses. Suites from around $200 in high season.

However, if you have san38's concerns, it is not in a gay free area.

Yeah, forgot to say - budget is roughly £100 ish per night.
