TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

The Westin Bayshore is a very nice hotel with a great location close to Stanley Park and other attractions. The rooms and decor are outdated, but still nice. The beds are SUPER comfortable. The water from the dispensers are not particularly cold. The laundry is outrageously expensive. Still a solid option though.

After a long queue to check in, we were given a room at the end of an extremely long corridor with a view of a concrete wall. We were disgusted to find the duvets at the foot of the beds were crumpled, dirty and appeared to have been used by previous guests. House keeping did come immediately to change these when we called. We were only staying one night and didn’t have the energy to get our luggage all the way back down to reception to queue up and request a different room but would not stay here again as a result. Pros: excellent location, nice pool.

Best hotel in Vancouver, hands down. The location in Coal Harbor provides stunning waterfront views, easy access to Stanley Park, and access to excellent restaurants. While the hotel provides 2 hours of free bikes, the bike store across the street provides e-bikes if you prefer. The hotel is right on the bike path that brings you to Stanley Park and the Sea Wall. It was a great experience biking from the hotel all around the Sea Wall route. Both the indoor and outdoor pools, the indoor hot tub, and out door barrel saunas were fantastic. It felt like you were at a luxury resort instead of a city hotel. The service was outstanding - front desk friendly, house keeping punctual and high quality, and maintenance who fixed our clogged shower head incredibly helpful (he came and fixed it within 5 minutes of calling!!). The hotel restaurant is a great option for breakfast but beware that it is more expensive than most hotel breakfast options (buffet for a family of 4 was $200+). The rooms are very large, nicely designed, with the option for connecting rooms. Overall, the hotel was excellent and no place we’d prefer to stay in Vancouver.

I stay here often when in Vancouver. I love the location. Right on the seawall which is great for those morning and evening walks. Sometimes we bring the kids here too because it’s one of the few hotels that has an outdoor and indoor pool. What I think is unique about this hotel is that they run it a bit like a family resort. There is programming and the atmosphere around the outdoor pool is like a vacation club. Their are on the pricier side for room rates but it’s Vancouver and you’ll pay that price for almost anywhere in the city at that category. The rooms are starting to get a bit dated! But it’s always exceptional clean! Staff is also great. They have a really nice breakfast buffet in the morning! Real food! Not just paper bacon or powdered eggs what seems to be more and more the norm now! The breakfast staff is also always friendly! As a platinum member the cold breakfast buffet is free but for 9$ upcharge everything is included and it’s expansive. Dinner is also good. The main restaurant has a bbq theme to it. Elevators can get crowded especially when it’s a cruise day! The lobby area can be noisy but the rooms are very quiet. Would highly recommend for an elevated stay in Vancouver, especially if you want to be active or have kids.

Not my idea of "luxury", and certainly not worth the money I paid. Shower did not have a door. Water sprayed all over the bathroom. After my shower, I needed to use bathtowels to dry the toilet and sop up the lake on the entire floor of the bathroom--then call housekeeping to please collect the soaking towels and deliver more towels to use for subsequent showers. This is terrible design that ignores the user experience for a sleek visual appearance. I say this as a professional in architecture and design.
