Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport Hotel & Marina

Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport Hotel & Marina is an older marina-side hotel at 3500 Cessna Drive on Sea Island in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Sea Island is the location of Vancouver International Airport, so the hotel is among the closest options to the terminals and suits a short stay before or after a flight. The setting is on the Fraser River's Middle Arm, beside a small marina and floatplane base, and the surroundings are industrial and aviation-oriented rather than a visitor district. The hotel is classed as mid-range with a $$ price band and typical rates of CAD $160 to $240 per night. Rooms are offered as standard rooms and king rooms. Listed amenities include wifi, a restaurant, a fitness centre, an airport shuttle and the adjoining marina. The marina setting gives some rooms a view over the water and the planes, which appeals to aviation enthusiasts. The restaurant provides on-site dining, which is useful because few other restaurants are within walking distance on Sea Island. Service is aimed at airport travellers, crew and business visitors, and the property is generally regarded as functional rather than luxurious, with a lower guest rating than most Richmond options. Visitors should confirm shuttle times and fees with the hotel. The Canada Line and downtown Vancouver are reached via a shuttle or taxi to the Sea Island or YVR-Airport station, adding time to any city sightseeing. Nearby attractions are limited on the island itself, but the Iona Beach Regional Park and the Steveston Village waterfront can be reached by car. The hotel works best for travellers with early or late flights who value proximity above all else. Summer is the busiest period, while winter rates are often lower.
