Hyatt Regency Vancouver

Centrally located on the northern edge of downtown, just a few blocks from the Coal Harbour waterfront, the Hyatt Regency Vancouver offers a well-situated locale for cruise ship passengers, sightseers and business travelers. Along with the neighborhood, visitors also praise the well-designed rooms, which feature floor-to-ceiling windows, iPod docking stations, small refrigerators and consistently lauded Hyatt Grand beds. But visitors do offer one gripe: the hotel's steep parking rates (about $27 USD per day). But with an abundance of dining choices and attractions within walking distance, recent guests say it's easy to navigate the city on foot. If you would rather linger back at the hotel, you can satiate your appetite at the Mosaic Grille restaurant or savor a cocktail at Grain Tasting Bar. On the go? You can get your caffeine fix at the hotel, too — there's a Starbucks in the lobby. Guests also recommend sticking around the Hyatt for the heated outdoor pool, which they say offers a relaxing respite from the downtown hubbub. World of Hyatt members will also enjoy a stay here, as they can earn and redeem points at this location.
