I've stayed here many times, and each time it gets better. There are many hotels described as "bijoux". "character" or similar , which sort of means that you have to like the odd smell and peeling wallpaper. However, this one is truly unique and classy, and the location is probably the best in Vancouver. If you don't know, Granville Island... More

I have stayed at this hotel for week-long business commitment several times, the last being two months ago and am booked for that purpose next.week. In the meantime, my wife and I stayed to be close to a grandson who was in critical care at nearby Childrens' Hospital. In all cases I have found the staff to be very understanding... More

I was there for a weekend conference. The room was comfortable and the staff very helpful. It would have been nicer to have a water view, but registered late and was happy to be able to stay on the island.

This hotel had great views if the marina and if you have a Friday night stay the local markets are all around so it makes for a great location to see Vancouver. The bar and restaurant is well laid out and gives great views of the water. It's a surprise to sit by the water and have the mountains in... More

I recently organized and hosted a two-day event at the Granville Island Hotel, and everyone and everything exceed our expectations. The staff was responsive, flexible and met our attendees needs all the time. My room was lovely. There were several business people, including myself, who were looking for coffee before 7 a.m. The only source of coffee was the coffee... More

I've stayed here over a dozen times in my visits from the East Coast to Vancouver, both on business and for vacation. This is one of the friendliest places you'll find amongst the cohort of upscale hotels in the Vancouver area. There is also a certain eclectic atmosphere that translates into its special ambience that says "there's no other place... More
