We’re at 1125 Granville, the loud, lit-up, slightly louche heart of downtown Vancouver. Here’s where the front desk would send you. Much of it just a few minutes from our door.

Get oriented

North to the harbour, south to False Creek, with plenty in between.

Granville is Vancouver’s entertainment spine. Theatres and live rooms, bars and late-night eats, with the seawall and waterfront just a short walk away. Step outside. You’re already in it.
