Century Plaza Hotel & Spa

Century Plaza Hotel and Spa is a suite hotel at 1015 Burrard Street, on the edge of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, between the central business district and the Yaletown neighbourhood. Burrard Street runs directly toward the waterfront, and Robson Street, the Vancouver Public Library and the Yaletown restaurant strip are all within a short walk. The Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line station and Burrard SkyTrain station are close for airport and downtown connections. The building is a mid-rise of the postwar-to-modern style typical of this part of the city, with a practical rather than ornate character. Accommodation is mostly suite-style, with studio suites and one-bedroom suites that give extra space for families, small groups and longer stays compared with standard hotel rooms. Amenities include wifi, an on-site restaurant, an indoor pool, a fitness centre, a hotel spa and parking. The spa offers massage and body treatments, which makes the hotel a convenient choice for visitors wanting relaxation after sightseeing. The service character is relaxed and value-oriented, serving leisure travellers, medical and business visitors on longer assignments, and families. Typical nightly rates run from about CAD $170 to $260, noticeably lower than the luxury hotels a few blocks north. Within walking distance are the Vancouver Art Gallery, Granville Street, the Roundhouse Community Centre and the Seawall at False Creek. The quieter residential feel of this part of Burrard Street, compared with the Granville entertainment strip, appeals to visitors who prefer calmer evenings. Parking is available but carries a daily charge, so travellers arriving by transit may find the location sufficiently well connected without a car.
